Looking for a Bullhorn alternative for healthcare staffing?
Here's what teams switching to — or adding — Gigin say.
What Gia handles
- Sources from 75M+ candidate profiles
- Calls every applicant within 3 minutes
- Delivers a ranked shortlist — no manual screening
- Live in one day
Important context: Gigin AI integrates with Bullhorn. Many healthcare staffing agencies run both — Bullhorn as their record system, Gigin as the action layer that sources, calls, and shortlists. This page is for teams evaluating whether to replace Bullhorn entirely or add Gigin alongside it. Both paths work.
Why healthcare staffing teams look beyond Bullhorn
-
Bullhorn holds the pipeline — it doesn't fill it
Bullhorn is an excellent record system and CRM. But for healthcare staffing agencies trying to fill per diem and travel shifts in 24–48 hours, the ATS is a passive tool. It holds the pipeline; a recruiter still has to pick up the phone and work it. When speed is the product you sell, recruiter-dependent first contact is a bottleneck.
-
No voice AI means sourcing is a manual, recruiter-gated process
Bullhorn doesn't call candidates, assess them, or produce a shortlist autonomously. Healthcare staffing requires high-frequency outreach to nursing candidates who receive multiple calls per day from competing agencies. The recruiter who calls first and screens fastest wins the placement — and Bullhorn alone can't provide that speed.
-
Sourcing is a separate problem Bullhorn doesn't solve
Bullhorn surfaces candidates in your existing database. If that database is thin on RNs with ICU experience in a specific market, Bullhorn has nothing to show you. Active outbound sourcing — reaching passive nurses who aren't in your system — requires a separate capability that Bullhorn doesn't include.
What Gigin does differently
- →
Gia fills your Bullhorn pipeline — or replaces it. Brief Gia on an open order. Gia sources candidates, calls them within minutes, runs a voice assessment, and returns a shortlist. That shortlist can flow directly into your existing Bullhorn pipeline via integration — or into Gigin's native ATS if you're ready to consolidate.
- →
First contact in minutes, not hours. Healthcare staffing is won or lost on speed. Gia calls sourced candidates within minutes of identifying them — before a competing agency's recruiter picks up the phone. That speed advantage compounds across every open order.
- →
Active sourcing beyond your database. Gia reaches into a 100M+ candidate pool to find nurses and allied health workers who aren't in your Bullhorn database and wouldn't respond to a job posting. The top of funnel expands without recruiter effort.
