Bullhorn can save you a lot of time with its out-of-the-box configuration, but you can really take Bullhorn to the next level by tailoring it to the person using it. Here are 5 simple ways to customise Bullhorn to your specific needs!<\/span><\/p>\n

Rearrange Your Menu<\/b><\/h2>\n

Did you know you can rearrange your menu icons and choose to group or ungroup folders? Having a clean and familiar menu will help people to get where they\u2019re going a lot faster. Every second adds up, after all!<\/span><\/p>\n

To rearrange menu icons, click and drag the icon to its new position.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

 <\/p>\n

You can also group icons into folders and ungroup icons from folders. Let\u2019s say you want to have the items in the <\/span>Tools<\/span><\/i> folder display on the menu instead of in the folder for easier access\u2014to do this, open the menu and click <\/span>Add\/Remove<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

 <\/p>\n

Look for the <\/span>Tools<\/span><\/i> section and then click the slider to have all of these icons appear directly on the menu.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

 <\/p>\n

Have you noticed you have a bunch of icons on your menu that you never use? You can take care of those, too! From the same <\/span>Add\/Remove<\/span><\/i> menu, uncheck boxes to remove the icons from the menu display. Make sure to click <\/span>Done<\/b> to save your changes!<\/span><\/p>\n

Update User Preferences<\/b><\/h2>\n

User preferences are exactly what they sound like; they\u2019re preferences that are set on a user-by-user basis! Need to update your date\/time format or change the unit of distance for radius searches? How about choosing screens to display when Bullhorn loads, or creating an awesome email signature? The User Preferences page gives you access to these items and more. From your menu, open <\/span>Tools <\/span><\/i>and click <\/span>User Preferences<\/b>. If you ungrouped the <\/span>Tools <\/span><\/i>folder, then <\/span>User Preferences <\/b>will appear directly on your menu – but you know this by now!<\/span><\/p>\n

Start-up Screens are near the top of the page. To add a start-up screen, click into the field, begin typing the name of the screen, then click on the screen name when it appears.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

 <\/p>\n

Your date\/time format and radius format options are found under <\/span>Localisation<\/span><\/i>. You can choose your date\/time format from the dropdown menu and toggle the radius between miles and kilometers.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

 <\/p>\n

You can further customise Bullhorn by creating a custom email signature from your User Preferences. This lets you format your contact information, links, and any other information into an easy to use, easy to read email signature that your candidates and contacts will find super helpful!<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

 <\/p>\n

Favorite Searches and Column Layouts<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you do not use favorite searches and\/or column layouts, I highly recommend that you do. You will find yourself saving a lot of time when performing the same tasks over and over again. Create a favorite search to run searches with the click of a button. Use column layouts to easily change the fields you see on lists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As an example, let\u2019s say you regularly search for Candidates who have placements ending soon. From the Candidate list, we\u2019ll search for the following criteria:<\/span><\/p>\n
