What Bullhorn does well
The dominant staffing ATS for a reason.
Bullhorn is the record system most US staffing agencies trust - candidate history, job orders, client CRM, and pipeline management all in one place. Its depth in staffing-specific workflows is unmatched.
Client and order management.
Bullhorn handles the full staffing agency business process - from client account management and job orders through to submission and placement tracking. It is the system of record, not just an applicant tracker.
Deep ecosystem and integrations.
Bullhorn's Marketplace has hundreds of connected tools - payroll, VMS, job boards, and more. If you're already on Bullhorn, the ecosystem provides flexibility to extend your stack.
Where Bullhorn falls short
Bullhorn holds the pipeline - it doesn't fill it.
Bullhorn tracks candidates but doesn't source them, call them, or assess them. First contact depends on a recruiter picking up the phone. In healthcare staffing and high-volume roles, that speed gap costs placements.
No voice AI or autonomous assessment.
Bullhorn has added some automation features, but there is no voice AI layer that calls candidates, assesses them, and returns a shortlist without recruiter involvement at each step.
Sourcing is a separate problem.
Bullhorn relies on job board integrations and inbound applications. Active outbound sourcing - reaching passive candidates and running them through an assessment - requires additional tools outside Bullhorn.
What changes with Gigin
Gigin fills Bullhorn - not replaces it.
Many agencies run Gigin alongside Bullhorn. Gia sources and shortlists; placements and client records live in Bullhorn. You keep your record system and add the action layer that Bullhorn doesn't provide.
First contact in minutes, not days.
Gia calls sourced candidates within minutes of identifying them. For healthcare staffing where a 24-hour delay means a competitor fills the shift, speed is the differentiator - and Bullhorn alone can't provide it.
Assessments your recruiters didn't have bandwidth for.
Gia screens every candidate with a voice assessment call - not just the ones a recruiter got to. Your shortlist reflects assessed quality, not whoever happened to get called first.
