While you\u2019re tackling your home, why not extend the same care to your Bullhorn database and head into 2025 ready to take advantage of your clean data? Just like that overstuffed drawer or cluttered cupboard, your CRM can accumulate a lot of mess over time.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s how you can effortlessly tidy up your Bullhorn data!\r\n<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/data-hygiene-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out the data hygiene guide<\/a>\r\n<h3><strong>Why is cleaning my Bullhorn database important?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nUnderstanding the importance of cleaning your Bullhorn CRM is crucial before diving in. Here are some reasons why it matters:\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Tap into revenue opportunities<\/strong>\r\n\r\nInaccurate data leads to wasted time and missed revenue opportunities. When your data is clean and reliable, your team can work more efficiently when searching for suitable candidates. Your clients and candidates will enjoy a better experience and you\u2019ll see improved redeployment and utilisation rates, and increased revenue.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Enable informed decision-making<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAccurate reporting relies on trustworthy data. Cleaning up your database ensures that the insights you get from your reports are based on solid foundations, enabling better decision-making for your company.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Maximise the value of your Bullhorn and optimise your integrations:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe effectiveness of your Bullhorn integrations (for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AI<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/products\/vms-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">VMS<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/products\/recruitment-automation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bullhorn Automation<\/a>) hinges on the quality of the underlying data. By cleaning up your database, you set the stage for successful integrations that actually boost your ROI.\r\n<h3><strong>What data should I clean up?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nThe specific data cleanup needs will vary for each company. However, here are some common areas you can focus on regardless of your size, industry or market:\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Duplicate records<\/strong>\r\n\r\nDuplicate records clutter your database and lead to inefficiencies. Identifying and merging duplicates streamlines your operations, improves reporting accuracy, and enhances automation outcomes.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Incomplete candidate records<\/strong>\r\n\r\nEnsure that your candidate records contain essential contact information and CVs\/resumes. Identifying records with missing data or outdated information improves the quality of your searches and enhances candidate engagement efforts.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Standardisation of data<\/strong>\r\n\r\nConsistent data formatting is essential: standardize data fields that are used for things like reporting, generative AI, emailing or Bullhorn Automation.\r\n<h3><strong>How can I clean up Bullhorn?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nYou have several options for cleaning up your Bullhorn database:\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Manual updates<\/strong>\r\n\r\nTime-consuming, manual updates can be effective if you have the resources available. But this is a really expensive way of doing it! Assigning consultants to clean up the database can also put you at risk of manual error and takes time and effort away from engaging with clients and candidates.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Custom projects<\/strong>\r\n\r\nConsider outsourcing a custom data cleanup project to a third party. While this option may involve a higher cost, it can offer quicker results, particularly for one-time cleanup tasks or complex data issues.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Data management tools<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe ultimate solution: invest in a data management tool that integrates seamlessly with Bullhorn. Products like Kyloe DataTools provide cost-effective solutions for ongoing data maintenance, including deduplication, gap identification, and mass data updates to 25+ Bullhorn entities.\r\n<h3><strong>The importance of a strong data foundation<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nA strong data foundation is paramount for success: from streamlining workflows, and maximising candidate redeployment and utilisation rates, to improving decision-making; clean and reliable data forms the backbone of any effective recruitment strategy.

Most people have already experimented with generative AI and are familiar with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/blog\/chatgpt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ChatGPT<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/gemini.google.com\/faq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gemini<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, but the capabilities of AI extend far beyond these tools. AI can integrate into workflows and assist in rote tasks, unlocking new levels of productivity and creativity in the form of an AI copilot.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Though Copilot is the name of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/products\/copilot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bullhorn\u2019s set of AI capabilities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s also a term picking up use across industries. Let\u2019s dive into the capabilities of AI copilots and how they can help unlock new efficiencies for your recruitment agency.<\/span>\r\n<h2>What is an AI copilot?<\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An AI copilot is a cutting-edge virtual assistant tailored for the recruitment industry, leveraging advanced large language models (LLMs) to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/blog\/understanding-automation-ai-and-generative-ai-in-the-recruitment-industry\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">revolutionise how we work<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Sitting alongside existing recruitment workflows, it acts as a real-time guide, unlocking new levels of quality and productivity. Its capabilities range from analysing datasets to generating tailored content in order to help streamline communication. For recruiters, this can look like writing job descriptions, summarising candidate profiles, pitching candidates and clients, and much more.<\/span>\r\n<h2>How an AI copilot works<\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the heart of an AI copilot tool lies a blend of artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning (ML) technologies. Through AI, a copilot harnesses the power of computational systems to understand and respond to user queries and commands. This AI-driven approach forms the foundation upon which a copilot operates, providing users with a seamless and intuitive experience as they interact with the tool.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>Overview of the underlying technology<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An AI copilot is built upon a framework of cutting-edge technologies, with artificial intelligence (AI) at its core. Leveraging the power of natural language processing (NLP), it can comprehend and interpret human language with remarkable accuracy, enabling seamless communication between users and the system. Machine learning (ML) techniques form another essential component, allowing AI copilots to continuously improve and adapt its responses based on user interactions and feedback. Through advanced algorithms, it can analyse vast amounts of data to identify patterns, trends, and insights, aiding recruiters in making informed decisions and generating content.<\/span>\r\n<h2>Benefits of using an AI copilot for recruiting<\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By harnessing advanced strategies and tools, AI copilots empower recruiters to maximise their time and resources, focusing on high-value tasks while automating routine activities. Let's dive into how AI copilots revolutionise recruitment processes, driving increased productivity, streamlined operations, and ultimately, more efficient recruiting.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>Increased productivity<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An AI copilot can help boost individual recruiter productivity by implementing advanced strategies, tools, and techniques that streamline the recruitment process. For example, a copilot can speed up the time it takes to write candidate (or client) communications by leveraging information already present in the system, eliminating the need for recruiters to draft messages from scratch. A copilot can also quickly summarise large amounts of data, like candidate resumes, saving recruiters time that would otherwise be spent poring through documents. By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, an AI copilot can empower recruiters to make the most of their time and resources, allowing them to focus on high-value processes while automating rote tasks.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>Streamlined operations<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An AI copilot serves as a powerful tool to streamline operations, driving efficiency and productivity through automation and process optimisation. It can automatically identify recommendations for candidates already in your database, ranked based on data found in their resume and candidate profile. Plus, instead of creating prompts on your own, an AI copilot can create more specific prompts to help you get the results you want. With these optimisations in place, agencies can place candidates more quickly and pitch clients more often. These streamlined operations not only save time and resources but also lead to increased candidate satisfaction by providing a smoother and more personalised recruitment experience.<\/span>\r\n<h3><b>Efficient recruiting<\/b><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An AI copilot is the key to more efficient recruiting; they harness advanced technology across various recruitment channels to conduct comprehensive candidate assessments. By automating tasks like candidate sourcing, screening, and engagement, AI copilots streamline the recruitment process while ensuring a consistent employer brand. Because AI copilots are capable of analysing vast amounts of candidate data, they can also provide recruiters with actionable insights into candidate performance and suitability for roles. This data-driven approach not only enhances efficiency but also improves the quality of hires. By leveraging AI copilots, recruiters can optimise their recruitment strategies, reduce time-to-hire, and make more informed decisions, ultimately driving better outcomes for their organisations.<\/span>\r\n<h2>AI copilot use cases<\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An AI copilot built directly into your recruitment workflow can help with any number of day-to-day tasks, like:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quickly summarising profiles<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generating email and SMS messages<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pitching candidates for a job<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Analysing if a candidate is good fit for a job<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Creating screening questions<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adjusting and improving messages<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automatically finding the best candidates<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Automatically building a search for a new job<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Notifying at-risk alerts and opportunities<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AI copilots are changing the game for industries everywhere, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/products\/copilot\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">recruitment is no exception<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

So how can you ensure a smooth transformation process to start seeing results faster?\r\n\r\nAt our recent Tech at the Tower event in Sydney, we were joined by implementation experts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nuuco.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nuuco<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/1218global.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1218 Global<\/a> as well as Nathan Hodges, Divisional CEO of Healthcare & Community at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peoplein.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PeopleIN<\/a> as they shared their experiences and actionable strategies, plus proven tips for navigating technology implementation.\r\n<h4>Consolidating onto a unified platform<\/h4>\r\nPeopleIN has three core divisions covering the industrial, professional and healthcare and community sectors.\r\n\r\nLed by Hodges, PeopleIN recently went through a project to consolidate and move their healthcare recruitment operations onto a single unified system on the Salesforce platform. Recognising the need to support the business\u2019s continued growth, this project allowed PeopleIN to \u201cstandardise procedure, so we can utilise resources across states\u201d, explained Hodges.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe want to retain a lot of the personal innovation and drive that a lot of our brands hold but we need to ensure we\u2019re optimising efficiencies across the group\u201d, Hodges continued.\r\n\r\nOne of the core benefits since moving on their single unified platform, is optimised efficiencies and reporting capabilities. PeopleIN has been able to be highly focused on its people, both internally and externally. According to Hodges, PeopleIN now has \u201cmore time to invest in our existing workforce in terms of upskilling, communication, candidate care, and other things of that nature. We have a more comprehensive service not just to clients but our recruiters, making sure they feel supported on their journey\u201d.\r\n<h4>Championing change<\/h4>\r\nImplementing any new technology into your recruitment business can be complicated. Successful change management requires deep planning, thoughtful execution and continued refinement.\r\n\r\nBen Barnett, Founder & Lead Advisor at Nuuco encouraged recruitment leaders to clearly define their business objectives, understand the impact to internal people and roles as well as external clients and candidates. He stated, \u201cTechnology is the enabler for the business to change.\u201d but it cannot replace the human element essential to a successful transformation.\r\n\r\nFor PeopleIN, this meant identifying people that are open to change and willing to explore how to advance the company towards its goals. \u201cYou need to champion the people that are drivers of change\u2026people that are going to see the benefit of change, you\u2019ve got to put these people front and centre\u201d, Hodges emphasised.\r\n<h4>Fostering a culture of innovation<\/h4>\r\nOne crucial component of a successful adoption is having comprehensive documentation, which ensures clarity and continuity as the system evolves or as people shift in the business. Deep documentation \u201cimproves success in a project\u201d, said Simon Bishop, Lead Implementation Consultant at 1218.\r\n\r\nHaving great champions of change, detailed documentation and the adoption of Salesforce, a highly customisable and evolving platform, allows PeopleIN to implement its best practices effectively across all their offices. Bishop stated, \u201cSalesforce is an evolving platform, it's great because you can constantly evolve it, improve it and make it more efficient where a lot of other systems you don\u2019t have that opportunity.\u201d\r\n\r\nFurthermore Barnett said, \u201cSalesforce offers a culture of innovation.\u201d and many customers don\u2019t realise the power within the platform. Hodges aptly concluded, \u201csystems improve performance but it doesn\u2019t carry your performance\u201d. Use technology while fostering a culture of innovation among your people to continuously improve so the business can meet its mission.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nInterested in more insights from Tech at the Tower?

From helping improve the candidate experience to measuring NPS and freeing up recruiter and salesperson time, it\u2019s no doubt active automation users see the ROI in these platforms.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But when automation is new to you, starting can feel like a daunting task \u2013 not to mention the uphill climb of determining what to build, how to execute, and what signals success.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By following a process (and not skipping any of the steps!) when developing your strategy, you can ensure that you stay focused on building automations that will make an impact on your business.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>1. Determine your goals<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Are you looking to drive more candidate applications? Do you need more job orders? Is your candidate experience once jobs are filled lacking? Before you start building any automations, it\u2019s important to think of the area where automation can make the biggest impact on your business. This part is either obvious to you or you need to get your team together to discuss current gaps.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Common goals automation programs help solve include:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Improving the candidate experience<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Redeploying candidates coming off assignments<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Qualifying new candidates before recruiter follow-up<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reactivating old clients or candidates in your database<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moving contacts through your sales pipeline<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You don\u2019t need to choose just one goal, but it\u2019s important to narrow your focus before you start building so everyone stays pointed in the right direction. Homing in on your business goals can also help you laser-focus on metrics that signal the greatest ROI once your automations do launch.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>2. Map out your client\/candidate journey<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you\u2019ve determined the area(s) you want to focus on, mapping out your client or candidate journey is a great way to spark ideas for where to start with individual automations or touchpoints. Getting team feedback at this step is important\u2014what manual tasks can help free up recruiter time? What efforts do your salespeople want to keep personalised?<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you have your journeys mapped out, take a look at where there are gaps.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some gaps and ways automation can solve them:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Delay in response time from recruiters when candidates apply = automate a thank you email once you receive a new application<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recruiters constantly following up with unqualified candidates = send a survey with an application confirmation that asks qualifying questions<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lack of follow up with prospects after business development process = create a passive touchpoint journey to send new information to top prospects every month<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><strong>3. Review your ATS data<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For automation to work properly, the data in your ATS and CRM needs to be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/au\/data-hygiene\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">updated and maintained<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. You don\u2019t want to send a message asking someone you placed yesterday if they\u2019re looking for work! Before starting any automations, make sure everyone on your team is on the same page with the fields you\u2019ll be using to trigger messages and build audiences. If processes aren\u2019t aligned, you risk your automations not working or hurting the candidate\/client experience with your outreach.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consider the following processes before building your automations:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Changing candidate\/client statuses<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adding start\/end dates<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adding qualifying candidate information<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moving clients through different sales stages<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You can even use automation to clean up your database if you find that you have large sums of candidate or client data that is outdated or incorrect. Examples of this include archiving records you haven\u2019t updated in the past five years, changing the status of candidates who haven\u2019t been placed recently, or marking bounced contacts as inactive.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>4. Revisit your brand voice<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The purpose of automation is not to replace your teams but to improve their processes to reduce repetitive, manual work. Automation often takes the place of consistent outreach with both candidates and client contacts and if your brand voice isn\u2019t consistent within your touchpoints, it can cause some confusion.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before you start implementing automation within your organisation, consider your current brand voice and if your teams are aligned with this voice. How do you typically address talent? Is your communication more upbeat and positive or to the point? Ensuring the message you\u2019re conveying in your touchpoints is consistent with your team\u2019s messaging can improve the effectiveness of your automations by maintaining consistent communication across the board.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>5. Educate your team<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Would you roll out large changes to your organisation before communicating the purpose and implications with your team? Why would automation be any different? Because automation touches every part of your business from candidate sourcing to sales and even sometimes payroll, it\u2019s important to educate your team through the rollout.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some tactics you can use to communicate with and train your team:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Start with a focus group to test automations and get immediate feedback<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assign a champion in each department to help your team see the benefits on their day-to-day<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Document all touchpoints, who they\u2019re sending to, and when they send to use in training<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Solicit feedback on performance to gauge whether automation is helping meet your goals<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hold training sessions once a quarter so teams are updated on new automations and features<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Individuals who feel involved in the process are always quicker to adopt, so make sure implementation meetings and brainstorms aren\u2019t exclusive to leadership or marketing teams. Include your teams in every step of the process for more buy-in and better rollout.<\/span>\r\n<h3><strong>6. Determine what to measure\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019re at the final step! Your automations are live and you\u2019re feeling good. Now, how do you prove return on your investment? How do you know everything was worth it? This is where everything comes full circle. Remember those goals you determined at the beginning of this process? Time to revisit them!<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When looking at measuring ROI, think about what metrics give you the greatest signal that you\u2019re achieving your goals. Were you looking to automation to improve the candidate experience? Take a look at your NPS since implementation. Wanted to re-engage your existing client base for new business? Check how many job orders came in from existing clients.
