Over the past year, Bennett & Game has undergone a period of positive change and transformation, with the implementation of Bullhorn playing a key role in improving our recruitment processes, data management and consultant efficiency.

Since moving to the Bullhorn platform, we have focused on making the most of its capabilities to streamline day-to-day operations, improve data quality and help our consultants find the right candidates more efficiently. It has been a challenging but rewarding journey, with significant progress made in just 12 months.

Here’s what Allan Tucker, Head of Data & System Operations has to say: 

“Looking back over the last year, it’s been a positive period of change and transformation at Bennett & Game.

Working with Kyloe, the implementation of Bullhorn, including the set-up and data transfer, went smoothly. We introduced Bullhorn ATS, Analytics and Automation, focusing on data cleansing, improved workflows and user-friendly layouts. Ongoing training and system improvements have helped us integrate Bullhorn into our daily processes effectively.

By improving data collection, automation and monitoring, we’ve strengthened data quality and search results, enabling us to introduce Bullhorn Search & Match to help consultants find the right candidates faster. We’re also adding Amplify to further support our teams in accessing and maintaining data.

It’s been a challenging but rewarding year, and I’m looking forward to what the future brings.”

A Smooth Transition to Bullhorn

Working alongside Kyloe, the implementation of Bullhorn was a smooth process, from the initial set-up through to the transfer of our existing data.

We began by introducing Bullhorn ATS, Analytics and Automation, allowing us to establish a strong foundation for the future. One of our first priorities was identifying and cleaning up existing data using Automation and Data Loader, ensuring our system was organised and ready to support our recruitment activities.

From adjusting terminology and updating fields to creating drop-down lists, workflows and user-friendly layouts, we tailored the system to suit the needs of our business and our consultants.

This initial work helped establish a more consistent approach to managing information, creating a platform that supports our wider business objectives.

Improving Efficiency Through Training and Automation

Successful implementation goes beyond simply introducing a new system. Ensuring our team understands how to use it effectively has been just as important.

Focused and frequent user training helped our consultants integrate Bullhorn into their everyday processes quickly. Since the initial launch, training and system improvements have continued, taking into account user feedback, evolving business goals and industry best practices.

Automation has also played an important role in improving efficiency. By introducing automated actions, reminders and workflows, we have been able to streamline processes and reduce the need for certain manual tasks.

These improvements allow our consultants to spend more time focusing on what matters most: building relationships with clients, engaging with candidates and delivering successful recruitment outcomes.

Better Data, Better Recruitment Results

High-quality data is essential to successful recruitment. Having accurate, well-maintained information makes it easier to identify suitable candidates and deliver more effective searches.

Through improved data collection processes at source, ongoing monitoring and the use of Bullhorn Analytics, we have strengthened the way we manage and maintain our data.

These changes have helped improve data quality, supporting more accurate and effective candidate searches. By ensuring information is captured consistently and remains up to date, our consultants are better equipped to identify relevant candidates and respond to client requirements.

As our data processes have improved, we have also been able to build on this progress by introducing additional tools to enhance our recruitment capabilities.

Introducing Bullhorn Search & Match

Building on the improvements made to our data, we introduced Bullhorn Search & Match to help our consultants identify suitable candidates more quickly.

By supporting the candidate-matching process, this functionality provides another way for our team to make better use of the information held within our system, helping them identify potential matches more efficiently.

In a competitive recruitment market, being able to access and utilise candidate information effectively is essential. Search & Match represents another step forward in our ongoing commitment to improving the tools and processes available to our consultants.

What's Next? Introducing Amplify

Our transformation is far from over.

We are currently adding Amplify to our Bullhorn system, providing another option for consultants, managers, directors and our data team to unlock, access and maintain information more effectively.

As we continue to develop our use of Bullhorn, we remain focused on identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, strengthen data quality and make the most of the technology available to us.

By continually reviewing our processes and listening to feedback from across the business, we can ensure our systems continue to evolve alongside our needs.

Looking Ahead: The Next Chapter for Bennett & Game

Looking back, our first year with Bullhorn has been one of change, learning and meaningful progress.

From a smooth implementation and improved data management to ongoing training, automation and the introduction of new functionality, each step has helped us build a stronger foundation for the future.

Of course, transformation comes with its challenges, but the progress made so far has been both positive and rewarding. With continued investment in technology, training and process improvement, we are excited to see what the next year brings.

Here's to another year of innovation, development and delivering even better recruitment results at Bennett & Game.
