Bullhorn automation and AI agents enhancements
Bullhorn AI agents and automation
AI Assistant
- Conversational AI Assistant: AI Assistant is now conversational! The existing workflow has been moved from within the AI Assistant card to a slide out experience. There is a new AI Assistant button on Job and Candidate records, and a dismissable warning when you leave or start a conversation over.
AI Search & Match
- AI Search & Match improvements: Customers can now take advantage of AI Search & Match improvements. Previously, search queries connected keywords with “OR,” generating broader results that included candidates matching any of the terms. With this update, our AI Build service has been enhanced to refine keyword usage, ensuring that keywords are now connected by “AND.” This improvement delivers more precise search results by only including candidates who match all specified keywords.
Bullhorn Automation
- Score writeback to Bullhorn Recruitment Cloud: Available now, Bullhorn Recruitment Cloud customers can configure the Bullhorn Automation Score to write back to a custom field on their Candidate records in Bullhorn Recruitment Cloud which allows them to better identify the most engaged Candidates in their ATS.
Updates to Bullhorn ATS & CRM
- Novo candidate list is now generally available: We’re excited to announce that the Novo Candidate List is now generally available, bringing enhanced search capabilities and a more intuitive experience to your candidate database. With this update, you can confidently and efficiently search for records without dealing with complex interfaces. Clients can upgrade by submitting a support ticket. Later this year we will begin automatically upgrading clients.
Bullhorn Analytics product updates
- Metric editing: Available now, Enterprise Edition clients can now create new metrics based on Metric Types by navigating to Admin > Metrics > Edit Metrics, removing the need to always duplicate or inherit from an existing metric. Users can now control the aggregation options for existing and new metrics, selecting from options such as count, sum, min, average, etc. This update continues to allow our Analytics customers to make self-service changes in their environment without reliance on Support.
Product updates for Bullhorn VMS Sync
- Submittals attachment type filter: Available now, attachment type is now an alphabetised type ahead filter. This update lets users quickly find and assign a file type to an attachment.
