Bullhorn’s new integration with LinkedIn Apply Connect just made recruiting easier
At Bullhorn, we’re always looking for new ways to innovate and invest in our platform to streamline recruitment for our users, their candidates, and their clients. Today, we’re excited to announce a new integration with our partner, LinkedIn: LinkedIn Apply Connect.
The LinkedIn Apply Connect integration will help streamline the application process and empower recruiters to work smarter, not harder. By bridging the gap between LinkedIn and the Bullhorn ATS, this integration delivers a seamless experience for both candidates and recruiters—reducing drop-off, boosting efficiency, and improving your bottom line.
A seamless candidate experience
Today’s talent are looking for simplicity and speed; according to Bullhorn’s most recent GRID Talent Trends Report, 80% of candidates expect to be placed in less than 20 days. With LinkedIn Apply Connect, job seekers can apply directly on LinkedIn via Easy Apply, with their application data automatically synced to the Bullhorn ATS in real time, eliminating friction in the application process. If your company is using LinkedIn Recruiter, your candidates receive automatic status notifications, ensuring transparency and keeping them informed throughout the hiring journey—boosting both satisfaction and trust in the recruitment process.
An easier recruiting workflow
For recruiters, this integration eliminates manual data entry, ensuring that every LinkedIn application is captured instantly in the Bullhorn ATS. With real-time job syncing, recruiters no longer need to manage job postings separately within LinkedIn. Any changes to job descriptions, status updates, or details in Bullhorn ATS are instantly reflected on LinkedIn, providing a single source of truth for all job postings.
A few benefits this integration brings for recruiters include:
- Instant application syncing – No more manually adding candidates from LinkedIn.
- Enhanced applicant insights* – View real-time LinkedIn profile data within Bullhorn ATS for better candidate evaluation.
- Improved efficiency – Less administrative work means recruiters can focus on high-value tasks like candidate engagement and client relationships.
- Automated candidate notifications* – Keep candidates informed automatically when their applications are viewed, resumes are downloaded, or decisions are made.
*Requires LinkedIn Recruiter license

In a recruitment landscape where every second counts, firms leveraging Bullhorn’s LinkedIn Apply Connect integration gain a significant competitive edge. By reducing candidate drop-off, increasing recruiter efficiency, and offering an enhanced application experience, agencies using Bullhorn ATS will stand out from competitors still relying on fragmented, manual processes. Additionally, according to data from LinkedIn, Apply Connect attracts up to three times more qualified applicants compared to offsite applications.
