Bullhorn Launches Free Social Recruiting Platform

Bullhorn Launches Free Social Recruiting Platform

“Reach is the UK’s leading intelligence-based social networking recruitment tool”

Bullhorn, the global leader in online recruitment software, today launches the full version of Bullhorn Reach, a new social media-focused platform that allows recruiters to find and connect with qualified candidates via Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter. 

Bullhorn Reach is free and affords recruiters four primary benefits:

1) Social media connection. Bullhorn Reach allows recruiters to simultaneously post jobs to all of their social networks as well as share relevant content to nurture relationships and build their brand.

2) Intelligent candidate sourcing. Bullhorn Reach ‘Radar’ automatically collates candidates’ noteworthy social networking updates and behavioural data. This turns disorganised and disparate social data into predictive business intelligence. It analyses usage patterns on LinkedIn and Facebook to identify qualified professionals who might be considering a job change, often long before they’ve begun the search process.

3) Metric-based breakdowns. The service provides recruiters with comprehensive metric-based feedback so it is instantly apparent which social network has provided the highest success levels, allowing recruiters to fine tune their social media efforts.

4) Improved search results. Bullhorn Reach helps recruiters’ jobs get found more easily by potential candidates utilising search engines.

The beta version of the platform has already proved popular with over 10,000 recruiters and is currently drawing over 300,000 job-seeking candidates each month. Peter Linas, Bullhorn’s UK MD, comments on Reach’s early success: “Identifying and connecting with interested and qualified job-seekers through social channels has been like a resource-intensive wild goose chase, but it shouldn’t be that hard. Social networks are supposed to make it easy to connect; Reach makes that presupposition a reality.”

Andy Lord, Managing Director at award-winning international IT recruiter ReThink Recruitment, an early adopter of Bullhorn Reach, explains: “Even the beta version of Reach has been a revelation. We now have the ability to automatically maximise our use of social networks, while connecting with potential candidates that might be considering a new job but don’t want to overtly publicise the fact, as it may affect their current employment.”
