Since lockdown, many companies have been taking full advantage of the extra time they have (albeit derived from unfortunate circumstances) and taken a look at their Bullhorn data, with a view to tidying this up.
Over the years, you may have been adding data in to Bullhorn for candidates, clients, jobs, notes, appointments etc. This data can quickly become messy and inconsistent making reporting inaccurate.
We have had an influx in Bullhorn data cleansing projects over the last few months with recruiters wanting to tidy up their data. Here are some of the projects we have worked on;
- Tidy up addresses
Rushing data entry or having multiple people enter data can lead to inconsistencies. A city being in the town field or postcode in the country field for example. We wrote scripts to tidy up data for candidate and client addresses within Bullhorn, a process that by hand would have taken many months. Now when they run a report to view candidates living in London, they receive an accurate list. - Email marketing preferences
Bulk emailing is a simple but effective method of contact, however GDP rules mean that you can only contact those who consent. Our customer used several third party email marketing tools. Our scripts communicate with these tools and add unsubscribes, bounced and rejected email status to Bullhorn to prevent any future issues. - Closing old jobs
One customer had not closed a single job in Bullhorn for over 10 years and did not know which jobs were active or old. Our scripts automatically closed jobs with no activity on them for xx days, from either applications, edits, appointments or notes. Now they have a manageable job list and promise to close old jobs from now on (although no problem if they didn’t, we can just run our scripts again to tidy it all back up, just like magic). - Tidy up Bullhorn Leads
What ever happened to those leads? Our scripts can tidy them up for you quicky and efficiently.
They were just four recent projects, we can tidy up any entity you wish in Bullhorn. These projects can be run as a one off, or scheduled to run automatically at set intervals to keep your data in perfect condition. Some clients use our scripts daily, others once or twice a year whilst others prefer an on demand basis.
Could any of your Bullhorn data benefit from a tidy up? Contact us for a chat to see how we can help you, at a great price.
