6 tools to help your team win more clients

6 Tools to help your team win more clients

Across the recruitment industry, business development is the name of the game. Over 1,400 recruitment pros listed winning new clients as their top priority for 2024 in our most recent GRID Industry Trends Report for the second year in a row. Overall, 59% of agencies were focused on client relationships, whether the goal was to win more clients or strengthen existing relationships. 

Although competition remains fierce, the GRID Industry Trends Report data indicate that digital transformation and the implementation of sales-support technology drive sales wins. Agencies that saw revenue increases in 2023 are giving themselves a competitive edge by leveraging technology, and we can expect that trend to continue in 2024.

When it comes to building a tech stack for business development, it can take a lot of work to know where to start. What are your business needs? Are you planning to differentiate your business through your brand strategy? Are you focused on accelerating your sales cycle? Are you looking to decrease client churn, increase new opportunities, or both? And how can technology help achieve your business goals?

To tailor your tech stack to your needs, look no further than the Bullhorn Marketplace. Our 100+ vetted partner technologies integrate with the Bullhorn platform to help you build out a recruitment tech stack that gives you a competitive edge.

Below, check out some of the top Marketplace partners to help you win – and keep – more clients.
