Introduction

Founded in 2006, Get Recruited has evolved into a multi-sector recruitment consultancy specialising in sales, marketing, insurance, and finance roles. Led by owner Matthew Ager, the agile team of 12 has built a reputation for excellence. For more on how our software helps small, agile teams, see our page on recruitment software for start-ups and small agencies. Central to their operation since 2011 is Bullhorn, which has become the agency’s single source of truth and the engine for its growth. “We’re competing with some of the biggest agencies out there, and succeeding,” Matthew states. “And that’s all with the backing of the technology platform that helps our recruiters to keep that competitive edge.”

 

The challenge: Scaling without a safety net

Before partnering with Bullhorn, Get Recruited struggled with a series of clunky and inefficient recruitment systems. “The user interface wasn’t particularly friendly,” recalls Matthew. “The data didn’t flow logically from a recruiter standpoint, and the systems didn’t play nicely with others.”

This lack of integration and poor user experience led to low adoption, forcing recruiters to work outside the platform and creating data silos. For a small business without a dedicated IT department, this was unsustainable. Get Recruited needed a scalable, reliable, and intuitive platform. These are the key features we built into our recruitment software for small agencies. Get Recruited needed a scalable, reliable, and intuitive platform that could:

  • Provide a central hub for all recruitment activity.
  • Integrate seamlessly with other critical tools.
  • Empower recruiters instead of hindering them.
  • Offer the power and stability to level the playing field with larger, resource-rich competitors.

The solution: A unified tech stack for a competitive edge

Get Recruited found its solution in the Bullhorn platform, adopting a suite of integrated tools that transformed its operations. “It’s a rule in our business: if it’s not in Bullhorn, it didn’t happen,” says Matthew. The agency now has a powerful, unified tech stack that serves as its operational backbone.

Bullhorn ATS: The core platform provides the single source of truth, giving the team a seamless, 360-degree view of their clients and candidates. Its intuitive design drove immediate user adoption.
Bullhorn Automation: Get Recruited has built hundreds of automations to handle everything from candidate communication to administrative tasks… ‘It’s saved us so much time,’ Matthew notes. “We’ve made real efficiencies where we’ve not actually needed to hire that extra administrator as the recruiting team has grown.”.

Bullhorn Analytics: Moving away from manual spreadsheets, the team now has real-time data at their fingertips. This allows leadership to track performance and profitability, while also empowering recruiters to manage their own activity and learn from top performers in the business.
Marketplace integrations: Using tools like CloudCall for telephony and Broadbean for job posting, all fully integrated with Bullhorn, ensures a seamless workflow and that all data is captured centrally.

Every time we add a tool to the system or make an efficiency in the workflow, our revenues take a leap up.

The results: Increased profitability and a future-proofed business

By embracing digital transformation with Bullhorn, Get Recruited has achieved tangible results that directly impact its bottom line and competitive standing.

Direct impact on revenue: “Every time we add a tool to the system or make an efficiency in the workflow, our revenues take a leap up,” Matthew confirms. This direct correlation, tracked via Bullhorn Analytics, proves the ROI of investing in the right technology.
A level playing field: The sophisticated tech stack gives Get Recruited the capabilities of a much larger organisation. This is the goal of our all-in-one staffing solution for small businesses. “We’re partnering with a global business (Bullhorn) which is investing millions in developing a platform that businesses of our size can take huge advantage of,” says Matthew.
Preparing for the future with AI: Get Recruited is leaning into the power of AI through Bullhorn’s innovations. The team is already using AI Assistant features to help with creating screening questions and email drafts. They see AI not as a replacement for recruiters, but as a complementary tool that handles administrative tasks, freeing up consultants to focus on what they do best: building relationships. “The relationship becomes more important than ever before,” Matthew explains. “We don’t want to get left behind, and we know that we’ve got Bullhorn as a global partner that’s way ahead of the game in that respect.”
