How Amplify Chat works for small recruitment agencies

Bullhorn is the applicant tracking system and CRM for recruitment agencies, and Amplify Chat is its recruitment LLM. It reads your Bullhorn data and provides simple and actionable answers, so a small team can ask anything, find everything, and act on it without leaving the system.

It knows your desk

Amplify Chat reads your own Bullhorn data and 26 years of recruitment expertise, then extends to live job feeds and the open web, funding, leadership changes, who’s hiring now. Your data stays secure inside Bullhorn; nothing you ask leaves it.

Ask like you’d ask a colleague

Type a question just like you’re asking a colleague. No Boolean, no filters, no learning how to prompt. Then turn the answer into work: create a tearsheet, research your next client, or update a record, straight from the chat.

Personalized to every user

Amplify Chat learns each person’s preferences and tailors its answers to how they work. Every recruiter on your team gets their own experience, not a one-size-fits-all bot. The more you use it, the more it works the way you do.

Your whole desk on one screen

Amplify Chat works the way a small recruitment team actually works, from your first question in the morning to the placement that closes the week. Save the prompts that work and share them across your agency, so every recruiter runs your best plays from day one.

Zoom in on any record

Open a candidate, job, or client record and ask what’s going on. Amplify Chat summarises the full history, tells you what’s happening now, and suggests the best next step, so you’re never digging through notes.

✓ Full history in seconds ✓ Notes summarised ✓ Best next step

“Summarise Jane Doe’s experience for the Marketing Manager role and draft 5 behavioural interview questions.”

Turn people you already have into placements

Your best next candidate is often already in your database. Amplify Chat surfaces silver medalists and re-qualified candidates for a new role, and builds business-development targets from candidates you never placed.

✓ Silver medalists surfaced ✓ Candidates buried in notes ✓ New BD from your database

Try asking:
“Find candidates for job #1234 similar to the silver medalists from our recent software engineer search.”

Ask across your book and the open market

One question, answered across every source: your own pipeline and performance, plus live job feeds and the open web outside it. Amplify Chat even tells you which companies hiring right now are already in Bullhorn, and who to call. Save the prompts that work and share them across your agency, so every recruiter runs your best plays.

✓ Live demand from the open web ✓ Who to call, already in Bullhorn ✓ Save and share any prompt

Try asking:
“Find companies in Boston hiring Java developers in finance, and tell me which we already know.”

Act from the conversation, securely

Amplify Chat doesn’t just tell you what to do, it does it. Write an advert, outline an outreach sequence, and find candidates straight from the chat, all inside your secure Bullhorn environment.

✓ Launch a screen ✓ Start outreach sequence outlines ✓ Never leaves Bullhorn

Try asking:
“Draft outreach emails for my top 10 candidates for job #4821, personalised to each profile.”

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.
