Bullhorn Reviews

Pros

There is a great deal of freedom in Bullhorn's work environment. Self-motivated individuals who enjoy problem solving thrive in this environment. Management is also extremely receptive to suggestions regarding improvements. The result is that you have a large number of highly motivated individuals dedicated to improving the company and ultimately the customer's experience. I have not worked with a better group of people!

It doesn't hurt that we are also given a great benefits package!

Pros

Bullhorn has nailed its corporate culture. Everyone does their job well and has fun doing it, because they can be their full selves at work. Bullhorn really cares about the development of its employees.

Advice to Management

Keep focusing on an incredible employee experience and they will continue to create an incredible customer experience.

Pros

Career Growth:
The career growth opportunities in Support continue to expand as we grow as a company, which has been extremely exciting to watch. My team primarily hires internally from the Support organization, so it’s always exciting to celebrate these promotions. I really enjoy coaching and developing my team to grow their career - I've promoted many people over the years, which is the best part about my job. My own career has expanded at Bullhorn – I started fresh out of college as an analyst and 10 years later, I'm a Sr. Director. I've always felt supported by my boss, challenged in my role, and have enjoyed taking on more responsibility over the years.

The People:
I really enjoy the people who work here – I have some close colleagues who I consider very close friends. The people on my team are incredibly welcoming to new coworkers, listen to each other’s ideas, share funny animal gifs, and are always willing to lend a hand.

Culture & Benefits:
I love having unlimited PTO and our benefits are great. It’s a nice plus to have lunch and breakfast each week, and I love my standing desk. I’m also pretty involved in the HERd (Bullhorn women’s group) and attend our Allies and BullhornCares events. Bullhorn has a mission to ensure every employee has a sense of belonging, a voice, and clear path for success – there are a lot of ongoing initiatives to support this mission and it feels good to be part of a company that is committed to creating a happy and safe space for employees.

Pros

If you're looking to work for an honest, fast-paced, passionate, and smart company, then Bullhorn is an excellent choice. The people and culture here are absolutely amazing. Leadership and peers alike not only care about your success professionally, but also personally. During my time at Bullhorn there was a renewed and dedicated mission to create an incredible customer experience, and while we weren't always perfect, I can honestly say everyone is behind that mission and works hard to get it right. Work hard, build relationships and you won't be disappointed by your experience at Bullhorn.

Advice to Management

Continue to focus on the amazing culture you've built that's centered around ownership and customers and Bullhorn will continue to do great things!

Pros

Bullhorn offers an incredible opportunity to progress, I've had amazing training and development opportunities. The business encourages many people from different departments to communicate and work together, there is a great social scene at Bullhorn which really keeps the atmosphere relaxed. You have a great support network within Bullhorn to keep advancing your career and they are very clear with goals and requirements to advance.

Advice to Management

As the business grows be conscious that each layer of the hierachy can have more insight to offer, particularly if they are closer to the employees.

Pros

Reading some of the recent reviews I feel I need to set the record straight. If I were applying to a job at Bullhorn I'd look here and I don't want potentially awesome coworkers to be steered away! The reality is it's a really crazy time at Bullhorn. We've acquired a lot of companies, we have a ton of new products, and we're all moving 100 miles a second. But it is still great. The product is still cool (getting cooler) and the company just keeps adding benefits to support us. Yes, there's less free blocks on my calendar these days. But our charge is clear and motivating.

Advice to Management

Remind your employees to schedule PTO days- we forget!

Pros

I worked at Bullhorn for a year and met some of my best friends there. The people who work there are inclusive and there is a great culture. First Thursdays and Wednesday lunches were fun and it was great that the whole Boston office would get together often. Very inviting place to work.

Pros

The work is challenging and interesting. People are incredibly helpful to each other.

While Bullhorn's male leaders outnumber the female leaders, I see the company actively working on unconscious bias and other factors that can cause a good company to build a wall that blocks people instead of a bridge that welcomes. I read an earlier post about women only getting promoted if they wear makeup and dont wear hoodies. That is not an accurate depiction. Look at support supervisors, trainers, managers, etc. You will find women who wear hoodies and no makeup, women who regularly wear makeup and business apparel, women who go back and forth between these options. What they all have in common is they worked hard to hone their skillset to get where they are. At Bullhorn you see an amazing group of women lifting up other women through networking, mentoring, and collaborating.

Advice to Management

Plan new classes well in advance of promotions so you can continue the admirable practice of promoting from within while not overloading the rest of the entry level support team.

Pros

-peers are generally nice and helpful
-lots of opportunities for advancement...IF you meet the their incredibly high metrics and their absurdly strict sick policy

Advice to Management

-Build trust. Analysts are required to make specific commitments and give specific time frames they’ll update the customers within. So practice what you preach, and then actually keep those commitments. Do what you say you’re going to. This will be a LONG process, particularly with how badly leadership is viewed currently. But it has to change and it has to start somewhere.

-Communicate. Yes, we know things are bad. Yes, we assume you’re working to address the problem. But how? WHAT are you doing? Because from Tier 1, it looks like you’re sweeping it under the rug and crossing your fingers it’ll go away.

-Pay your people fairly. For a company that is purchasing other businesses right and left, you pay your people that aren’t leadership horribly. Maybe instead of investing in companies that completely lack infrastructure, try investing in the support staff that forms the backbone of your company. Anyone not in leadership in the entire support structure: Tier 1, Tier 2, Enterprise Support, Ops, Training, Documentation, whatever, deserves an immediate and substantial raise for the crap they deal with on a daily basis.

-Overhaul your sick policy. Seriously, it’s ridiculous and good employees are missing out on opportunities because of how unreasonably strict this is. Nowhere I have ever worked before has had this little room for BEING HUMAN, which is one of your core values. Practice what you preach.

-Make leadership more diverse and inclusive. There is absolutely no reason for women to be so underrepresented in leadership.

-Address your rampant issues with sexism in the workplace. A lot of it comes from leadership, and they only encourage the problem to persist when others see there are no consequences for those responsible.

Leadership is out of touch with the reality that is working in Support. That needs to change.

Pros

Awesome culture and really great people that make this job exciting. They are also a market leader in the space and continue to innovate to outpace their competition. A really good product for an industry that lacks any sort of innovation.

A great place to start your career in tech and learn the ropes. You can essentially carve out your niche in this company since they are growing so fast.

Art is an amazing CEO, really cares about his employees and wants everyone to succeed.

Free lunch on Wednesday is cool, good snacks, good benefits, great 401K w/ a match, and a healthy work life balance.

Advice to Management

Pay your staff. Paying below market is only going to hurt you in the long run.

Have a plan when you acquire other companies. Leaving senior leaders in the dark on what to do, who to speak with etc has a trickle down effect on the individual contributors. Open up those communication channels to set your staff up for success.

Look outside the organization to fill senior leadership positions. They could bring new and better ideas that could bring this company to the IPO level.
