What winning staffing firms are taking off recruiters’ plates with Bullhorn Amplify
Recruiting is a relationship business, but most recruiters will tell you that their day doesn’t always feel that way. Repetitive and manual tasks like database searches, scheduling screenings, and outreach follow-ups take up real time, and every hour spent there is an hour away from the candidate and client conversations that drive placements and close deals.
The staffing firms pulling ahead right now are the ones finding ways to protect that time with automation.
Bullhorn Amplify is AI built for staffing, operating within Bullhorn where your team already works. With Amplify Digital Workers, recruiters can off-load the daily grind to AI and spend more time focused on the work that’s most impactful.
Here’s a look at four Amplify skills and where they make the biggest difference in a recruiter’s day: Amplify Search & Match, Amplify Screen, Amplify Outreach, and Amplify Chat.
How Amplify Search & Match makes a staffing firm’s database its best sourcing tool
Searching for candidates takes up more of a recruiter’s day than any other task, according to Bullhorn’s latest GRID Industry Trends Report. For most firms, that time is spent manually searching a database for every open role, or spending time looking for candidates outside of the ATS only to realize they were in the system all along.
Amplify Search & Match surfaces the most relevant candidates from a firm’s existing Bullhorn database for every open role, so recruiters spend less time searching and more time talking to candidates. It runs continuously, so candidate pipelines stay active without a recruiter having to manually start every search.
“I utilize Amplify Search and Match constantly, whether I’m creating my own search strings or working through the recommended candidates feature. It’s become essential to how I recruit. The system helps me identify qualified candidates quickly. It’s narrowed down our targeting significantly.”
Michelle Mansoor, senior staffing manager, A-Line Staffing
The goal isn’t fewer conversations. It’s making sure every conversation moves the best fit candidates forward.
How Amplify Screen cuts time-to-fill without sacrificing quality
Screening is another major drain on recruiter time, and Bullhorn’s GRID report shows AI is already reducing the time recruiters spend on screening by as much as 75%.
Amplify Screen automatically conducts, summarizes, and evaluates candidate interviews around the clock. It runs after hours and on weekends, so candidates move through the process faster regardless of when they apply.
Employment Solutions of New York reports that with Amplify, 42% of their candidate screens now happen outside business hours.
High-volume roles can mean hundreds of applicants to work through, making it even more valuable for recruiters to focus their expertise on post-screening decisions. Amplify handles the initial screening work, giving recruiters more time to review results, connect with candidates, and make informed decisions about who is best fit for the role.
How Amplify Outreach and Amplify Chat keep pipelines active and recruiters prepared
Recruiter time doesn’t only go to sourcing and screening. Keeping in touch with candidates between placements and preparing for every call demands just as much focus, and it’s easy for both to get lost when the day fills up. In fact, Bullhorn’s research found that one third of recruiters say the biggest benefit AI delivers is more time for candidate conversations.
Amplify Outreach keeps the candidate database working between placements, re-engaging talent so recruiters aren’t rebuilding their pipeline from scratch on every new role. Amplify Chat gives every recruiter immediate access to candidate records, job history, and context inside Bullhorn, so they can walk into every call prepared without spending time searching for information. The result is more time spent on candidate conversations and less time rebuilding pipelines or piecing together context before a call.
For new recruiters, that access cuts ramp-up time by 30%, getting to full productivity faster without pulling the rest of the team away from their own work.
How Amplify keeps your data secure and recruiters in control
Just because AI and automations are implemented, it doesn’t mean recruiters are giving up control. With Amplify, recruiters can review, edit, or override AI outputs, from screener summaries and candidate recommendations to outreach sequences, before anything reaches a candidate or client.
Embedded in Bullhorn, Amplify also keeps candidate and client information within your secure Bullhorn environment, so your team can use AI without copying sensitive data into external tools.
“What’s great is the ability to get information at your fingertips, and the team can stay in Bullhorn without having to go out to ChatGPT or other sources. It’s all right there and the data stays within Bullhorn. You’re not losing any of your critical, sensitive data to other organizations.”
Kathy Lin, director of communications, Tal Healthcare
