Bullhorn’s Amplify Chat is the AI tool used by small staffing agencies that run their day inside an ATS and CRM. It reads your Bullhorn records directly and answers from your actual candidates, jobs, and clients. Over 70% of Bullhorn customers have fewer than 10 users, so small agencies get a staffing LLM, not an enterprise-only tool.
Start your day with your priorities
Ask who’s ready to place, which roles are closest to filling, and which clients need attention. Going far beyond a traditional recruiting assistant, Amplify Chat is a staffing LLM that reads your desk and tells you exactly where to spend the day.
✓ Who’s ready to place ✓ Jobs closest to filling ✓ Clients that need attention
Try asking:
“Prioritize my day by key tasks due today, ranked by what generates the most revenue.”
Zoom in on any record
Open a candidate, job, or client record and ask what’s going on. Amplify Chat summarizes 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 summarized ✓ Best next step
Try asking:
“Summarize Jane Doe’s experience for the Marketing Manager role and draft 5 behavioral interview questions.”
Turn people you already have into placements
Your best next candidate is often already in your database. Going far beyond a traditional recruiting assistant, Amplify Chat is a dedicated staffing LLM that surfaces silver medalists, re-qualifies candidates for new roles, and turns unplaced talent into fresh business-development targets.
✓ 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, personalized 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.

The new Bullhorn user interface (UI), rolled out in 2026, brings cleaner navigation, faster data scanning, and more speed and clarity across the entire platform. With the new Bullhorn UI, existing data, workflows, customizations, and integrations stay the same.
Yes. Amplify Chat is an LLM purpose-built for staffing but it’s much more than that. Unlike general-purpose LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, it is connected to your Bullhorn data and understands the recruiting and sales lifecycle, generating answers from your actual records.
No. Because Amplify Chat understands the staffing lifecycle, you can use plain language. “Who are the strongest candidates for this job?” or “Summarize my notes from today” is all it takes.
Yes. Amplify Chat is available for small agencies as part of Bullhorn Amplify.
No. Amplify Chat takes on the busywork around recruiting, such as summarizing and updating records, drafting emails, and prioritizing the day. Recruiters still build client relationships, advise candidates, and make the final decisions. Bullhorn designs Amplify to enhance human decision-making, not replace it. Amplify Chat is the staffing LLM inside Bullhorn, included in Bullhorn Pro and Bullhorn Max, and it works on your own Bullhorn data, so solo recruiters and small teams work faster within one unified platform.
Amplify Chat is the staffing LLM; ChatGPT is a general-purpose LLM trained on public web data. ChatGPT needs you to paste your records into it, a security risk. Amplify Chat is connected to your Bullhorn data and never shares it with public models.
Yes. Amplify Chat answers questions about your staffing database directly, without ChatGPT. Ask in plain language and it reads your Bullhorn records, so you never export data or paste anything into a public tool.
Yes. Amplify Chat is safer than ChatGPT for candidate data because your data never leaves Bullhorn’s secure environment. It reads your data in place and never uses it to train public models.
Amplify Search and Match ranks best-fit candidates for a specific job; Amplify Chat is the conversational layer across your whole database. Search and Match finds people for a job; Amplify Chat answers questions and acts across everything.
Start with one daily routine on your own database. Because Amplify Chat gives small agencies a dedicated staffing LLM rather than a generic assistant bot, getting started is straightforward: Bullhorn Pro or Bullhorn Max. Starter and Core customers can move up on the same platform, and their data and workflows carry forward. Implementation is free on Pro and quoted separately on Max, and small agencies can go live in under two weeks. Second, pick one repetitive task, such as prioritizing your day, summarizing candidate records, or drafting emails, and ask in plain language. No Boolean or prompt training is needed. Third, save the prompts that work so the whole agency can reuse them, then add outreach and screening.
