      Got its mojo back in a major way

      Pros

      The leadership is passionate about customers and innovation. Bullhorn has always been a great place to work, but the last 3 years in the staffing industry have been pretty awful. All the customers have been downsizing and it's really impacted the company negatively. But, recently, things have turned positive in a pretty dramatic way Leadership used the market downturn to return to our roots of innovating and the created an AI offering that has customers freaking out about how awesome it is. I've never heard customers rave about software like that before. It's breathed a whole new energy into the company and it's really fun again.

      Cons

      The staffing industry can be tough to serve at times. The customers are very demanding, to be fair, if you do a good job, they really shower you with praise, but you really have to deliver for them.

      Pros

      Unlimited PTO (when approved by your supervisor)

      Cons

      Very few growth opportunities for female managers (its a boys club vibe which is typical for the tech space) Management lacks experience and is unable to deliver constructive feedback. Bullhorn is ok when you're drinking the kool-aid but the truth is that there is a rampant sexism/harassment problem that is continuously swept under the rug by HR. Promotions are often political and not earned. As far as compensation goes, Bullhorn will continue to lose exceptional talent to other competitive companies here in St. Louis.

      Its really unfortunate that you’ve left Bullhorn feeling this way. This is not at all reflective of the environment we have worked hard to create. We take any claims of harassment very seriously. We conduct deep and thorough investigations and Bullhorn has always taken immediate action whenever we find misconduct. As a female leader that oversees employee career growth and has been promoted several times myself at Bullhorn, I have to disagree with your comments around the opportunity for women at Bullhorn as I've seen many of my female coworkers' careers take off here over the past 4 years of my tenure.

      Cronysim, Agism

      Pros

      Good product Good benefits and generally competitive comp Relaxed pace--people don't have to work hard at all to be successful. In fact that's why people stay there. It's very easy to be successful without breaking a sweat. At HQ, most people call it quits around 5:30pm.

      Cons

      Cronyism practiced by senior leadership team along with overt age discrimination. At this years' sales kickoff in front of a large audience of employees, the CRO threw an age-related dig at the oldest person in the Sales org. Several exec team members along with HR people were in the room and there was no response. It's not just a one-off--he's done this before, and it's also not the first time discriminatory or offensive remarks have been made in front of the exec team without any response. And they just announced the promotion of a young sales leader who missed his quota last year after having been given a blank check to hire as much as he wanted and who's known for changing strategy/focus every 1-2 months and keeping poor performers on his team. But he's part of the boys club after being with the company for 14 years, since graduating from college. Meanwhile, older sales leaders who keep hitting their quota with more limited resources stay at the same level. Extremely limited competence at exec team level--half have never worked anywhere else besides Bullhorn, and I don't think any have ever been on exec team in another company. President overtly lies about product roadmap at big customer events year after year and Sales then has to wipe-up from the mess of unfulfilled promises. Exec team members don't practice the values they preach. They spend lots of time spouting off slogans about inclusiveness and how everyone's voice should be heard, but when the rubber hits the road, that's not really what they want--the only voices they want to hear are their own.

      It seems that you’re really frustrated about something that happened to you while you were here. You haven’t shared anything about your personal experience, so I can only speculate. Whatever the case, I’m really sorry that you had such a negative experience at Bullhorn. Regarding the leaders you mentioned, I want to offer a full account: Our CRO made a reference at sales kickoff to the age of an employee with whom he is close. That’s not acceptable behavior at Bullhorn and he immediately realized his mistake, recognizing how the comment could have been perceived and apologized to the employee. Listening and responding to customer feedback is a critical part of our culture. When our President/CTO presents a long term vision to customers, we make it clear that not all of the elements of the presentation will make it into our products, that the explicit purpose of that presentation is to share our vision with customers, gather feedback and adjust our roadmap accordingly. Our track record shows we deliver the vast majority of the vision every year. Most importantly, our Customer Experience Index has increased consistently for the past 20 quarters. We promoted a leader who came in slightly short of his plan in 2018. However, it’s important to recognize that his team's performance increased a staggering 50% over 2017. And, that team achieved 120% of plan in Q1 this year. All three of these people are great leaders who care about their people and improving their leadership skills. Their employee engagement scores are off the charts and customers love working with them. Lastly, Bullhorn makes every effort to balance our leadership across our business. We count among our 185 leaders a wide variety of diversity including age, gender, experience and ethnicity. Of the 6 executives on my Senior Leadership team, 2 have built their careers at Bullhorn while the other 4 have worked at senior levels with companies such as IBM, Harvard, Pega Systems and PWC.
