Earlier this year, I traveled to London to visit Bullhorn\u2019s UK Managing Director, Peter Linas, and his growing team<\/a> at our UK headquarters. During my trip, I had a number of in-depth discussions with Bullhorn clients, prospects and Bullhorn Marketplace partners. Our goal was two-fold: First, validate the product localisation work that we had already introduced (DD.MM.YYYY date formats, currency symbol flexibility, and UK postcode radius searching). Second, to learn more about the recruitment process in the UK and identify areas we could further improve Bullhorn to meet the needs of our growing user base there. Universally, the single piece of feedback that we heard from each and every client and prospect was: \u201cwe need SMS!\u201d I knew Short Messaging Services<\/a> (SMS, or \u2018text messaging\u2019) is a substantial part of the recruitment workflow in the UK, but it wasn\u2019t until this trip that I saw just how valuable SMS is to UK recruitment professionals.<\/p>\n

SMS provides a few important advantages over email that ultimately help recruiters make more placements:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Responsiveness<\/strong>: Using SMS, you can quickly notify a list of existing candidates about a new vacancy and get back to your clients before any of your competitors.<\/li>\n
  2. Read Rates:<\/strong> Unlike email, candidates will read nearly every SMS message they receive \u2013 just be sure to use this advantage selectively!<\/li>\n
  3. Availability:<\/strong> Candidates tend to have their mobiles on them at all times, so you can communicate with them without having to wait until evenings or weekends when they can check their personal emails outside of their workplace.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With all this in mind, I\u2019m excited to announce SMS for Bullhorn! In partnership with Sheffield-based Dialogue Communications, we\u2019ve built SMS messaging capabilities directly into the Bullhorn system. You can now send an SMS message to candidates, contacts, and distribution lists \u2013 enabling you to leverage the benefits of SMS without having to spend time copying and pasting mobile numbers from Bullhorn into a separate system. Right now, we\u2019ve rolled out this capability exclusively to our UK-based clients. So, if you\u2019re based in the UK and are interested in learning more about SMS for Bullhorn, visit our Bullhorn Marketplace listing for details. We\u2019re also interested in hearing from those of you in other locales. Is SMS functionality something you\u2019re interested in using as well? Leave a note in the comments \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear your thoughts.<\/p>\n
