Investment will help global staffing agencies of all sizes accelerate their digital transformation and scale without friction

BOSTON – NOVEMBER 09, 2021 – Bullhorn®, the cloud computing company that helps staffing and recruiting organizations transform their businesses, today announced that it has acquired cube19, a longstanding Bullhorn Marketplace partner and the provider of analytics and reporting solutions for the Bullhorn platform. This acquisition is the latest major investment by Bullhorn in helping staffing agencies around the world to transform their businesses in an era of ubiquitous digitization. The combination of cube19’s analytics suites and Bullhorn deliver real-time, actionable insights to business executives and operational leaders to help them achieve highly scalable growth.

Staffing as an industry is undergoing a massive shift towards digitization accelerated by the unprecedented increase in technology reliance necessitated by a distributed and frequently remote workforce, as well as rising expectations from clients and talent alike. C-suite executives at staffing firms are grappling with not only navigating through periods of intense change and uncertainty, but also on maximizing financial ROI and propagating smart operational improvements that are well aligned with an organization’s long-term growth strategy.

cube19’s suite of solutions are uniquely designed to provide dynamic, activity-level metrics to manage at any level of the organization: recruiter, team, office or region. cube19’s highly usable and accessible interface makes powerful reporting easy to generate for non-technical users, which results in better performance on the front lines while also providing macro-level insight that helps leaders make better business decisions. Ultimately, by enabling staffing companies to grow their revenue quickly while growing their costs more slowly, cube19 facilitates highly scalable growth. Additionally, cube19’s offerings are purpose-built for staffing agencies using the Bullhorn platform.

The acquisition of cube19 comes at a pivotal moment in the trajectory of the industry as a whole, and addresses a critical need among senior staffing leadership. Through research conducted by Bullhorn, staffing agency executives unanimously voiced a desire for truly real-time, actionable business intelligence and reporting that could help them connect their financial decisions to operations and delivery optimization and connect functions and business units towards improved service levels and growth. The combination of cube19 and Bullhorn provides exactly that.

“I’m excited to welcome Dan, Joe, Nick, and the cube19 team to the Bullhorn family,” said Matt Fischer, president and COO of Bullhorn. “This joining of our companies feels very right in large part due to the amazing culture that Dan and his team have built, and how well it aligns with Bullhorn’s focus on creating an incredible customer experience. The cube19 team builds analytics products that customers love and pair those with excellent service, and I know they’ll fit in perfectly at Bullhorn. I’m also thrilled to work with Dan as he leads the development of new purpose-built analytics products in the near future, meeting our customers’ needs and wants in the new world of work.”

“When we started cube19,” said Dan McGuire, founder and CEO of cube19, “we set out to transform the way staffing companies operated and I’m incredibly proud of how the cube19 team has turned that vision into reality. Since we became a Bullhorn Marketplace partner in 2013, we’ve had tremendous success helping Bullhorn customers achieve highly scalable growth and we’re all very excited to join the Bullhorn team as we continue that mission together.”

cube19’s executive team, including Dan McGuire, Joe McGuire, and Nick Graves-Morris, will join the Bullhorn leadership team in key positions, leading the company’s growing investment in real-time business intelligence across its global customer base.

Terms of the transaction will not be disclosed.

Bullhorn Strengthens Commitment to Global Recruitment Agencies Using Bullhorn for Salesforce with Acquisition of Sirenum https://www.bullhorn.com/eu/news-and-press/press-releases/bullhorn-strengthens-commitment-to-global-recruitment-agencies-using-bullhorn-for-salesforce-with-acquisition-of-sirenum/ Wed, 08 Sep 2021 03:23:25 +0000 https://www.bullhorn.com/eu/?post_type=press_release&p=73743 BOSTON – JULY 20, 2021 – Bullhorn®, the cloud computing company that helps staffing and recruiting organizations transform their businesses, today announced that it has acquired Sirenum, a provider of shift scheduling and workforce management solutions for enterprise staffing companies on Salesforce. This acquisition is a major investment to help Bullhorn for Salesforce enterprise customers, especially those in Europe, grow and scale their businesses in the new world of work.

As the world emerges from the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic, recruitment firms have recognized that accelerating their digital transformation initiatives will help them compete with the emerging threat of online staffing platforms and other potential disruptors. Subsequently, forward-looking agencies are leveraging a digital arsenal of tools to compete and grow in an era of automation and self-service.

Additionally, recruitment firms are facing the growth of shift-based work over the last 24 months and the challenges associated with managing their workforce at scale. To address these challenges, Bullhorn has acquired Sirenum to help Bullhorn for Salesforce customers leverage complex shift management and workforce management solutions in order to grow and scale their businesses on the Salesforce platform.

Sirenum’s suite of solutions encompasses scheduling and shift management, compliance in complex regulatory environments, and optimization for workforce deployment. Almost 500,000 workers currently use the Sirenum mobile app, and the company processes 300,000 shifts per month.

“We’re incredibly excited about the progress we’ve made in driving efficiencies for recruitment agencies using Salesforce, and we’re looking forward to Sirenum’s accelerated growth as part of the Bullhorn family,” said Benjamin Rubin, founder and CEO of Sirenum. “We already have many joint customers with Bullhorn, and they’ve seen such tremendous results from the partnership that joining forces is a natural next step. Together we’ll be able to help firms transform their approach to workforce management to grow and scale their businesses.”

“We’re dedicated to helping large, predominantly European staffing companies, many of whom manage thousands of workers per day and have built their businesses on top of the Salesforce platform, succeed in a complex business environment where supporting shift-based workers is a key competitive differentiator,” said Art Papas, founder and CEO of Bullhorn. “Sirenum’s customers already manage half a million workers using the solution, and we’re looking forward to accelerating that growth and unlocking greater value for recruitment agencies using Salesforce in Europe.”

Josh Pines, co-founder and head of corporate development and marketing at Sirenum, will join the Bullhorn leadership team to drive success for Sirenum and Bullhorn customers around the world as part of this exciting new chapter. With the global reach and expansive R&D resources available within the Bullhorn family, this acquisition will expand Sirenum’s product roadmap and development efforts to deliver the greatest customer value.

Bullhorn’s last corporate acquisition was in January of 2020 when it acquired Herefish, a provider of automation and candidate experience solutions. Like Sirenum, Herefish was a best-of-breed staffing software provider with a proven track record of excellence and numerous joint customers. Since being acquired by Bullhorn, Herefish has seen its revenue increase by 350% percent, growing from 100 customers to 450, now automating 2.3 million interactions daily on the Herefish platform, and saving customers more than 1.5 million hours of administrative work per month.

Terms of the transaction will not be disclosed.

Recruitment Agencies Have Accelerated Digital Transformation in Response to COVID-19 https://www.bullhorn.com/eu/news-and-press/press-releases/staffing-firms-have-accelerated-digital-transformation-in-response-to-covid-19/ Tue, 09 Feb 2021 13:30:22 +0000 https://www.bullhorn.com/eu/?post_type=press_release&p=70892 The last year saw a dramatic rise in the number of staffing businesses employing a digital transformation strategy, according to Bullhorn‘s 2021 Global Recruitment Insights and Data (GRID), a survey of more than 2,000 recruitment professionals. Forty-three percent of global recruitment firms now have a digital transformation strategy in place, compared to 25 percent a year ago. Eighty-two percent of those firms with a strategy in place (and two-thirds of all respondents) said that COVID-19 directly caused them to adopt or ramp up their digital transformation efforts.

Matt Fischer, President and CTO at Bullhorn, says: “The leading staffing and recruiting firms today are focused on digital transformation, a three-pronged journey that combines the digitization of huge volumes of data with automation and, eventually, artificial intelligence, to unlock new levels of productivity and truly transform the way businesses operate. The challenges facing firms over the last year has underscored the need for this approach.”

Other Key GRID 2021 Findings:

The majority of firms expect revenue to increase in 2021

Firms are largely optimistic about their performance expectations for the year ahead. Seventy-one percent of respondents expect revenue to increase in 2021, and one-fifth of respondents expect revenue to increase by more than 25 percent. Contract/SOW firms have the most positive outlook (75% expect revenue to increase), while 70 percent of temp and perm placement respondents reported expected gains in the year ahead. The size of the company made no difference in revenue expectations.

This is perhaps connected to a strong finish in 2020. While 43 percent of firms said their revenue went down in 2020 compared to 2019, this represents a strong rebound from the first six months of the year. In June of 2020, 67 percent of respondents said their revenue in the first half decreased compared to the previous year.

The impact of COVID-19 on the labor market

Respondents cited the unemployment rate as the largest impact of COVID-19 on the industry in 2021. Additionally, 63 percent of respondents cited COVID-19’s effects on the labor market as a top challenge for 2021, making it the top challenge overall. However, the majority (55%) still believe there is a talent shortage, and 44 percent said it was a top challenge for the year. The continued prominence of the talent shortage amidst high unemployment rates may be due to a lack of qualified talent in specialized industries. Notably, 72 percent of light-industrial staffing firms reported a shortage. Another possible explanation: respondents reported an increase in challenging job requisitions as their number-two client-related challenge this year.

Candidates and clients still dominate the agenda for 2021

While the industry underwent a lot of change in 2020, the top three priorities for staffing and recruitment businesses remained the same: it’s all about candidates and clients. Candidates and clients account for four of the top five priorities. Fifty-four percent reported candidate acquisition as a top priority of 2021. Winning new clients (45%), candidate engagement (30%), marketing and brand development (22%), and improving client relationships (19%) round out the top five priorities. The biggest debut of the year is optimizing remote work, a top ten-priority that wasn’t on the radar heading into the year.

Remote work is here to stay

When asked about the long-term impact of COVID-19, respondents overwhelmingly pointed to the presence of remote work. Respondents picked the increase in remote jobs as the single-most consequential impact of COVID-19 on the industry (56%) and the increase in remote recruiting (33%) as the most significant impact on how their firm will operate. 

Furthermore, 30 percent of respondents say their business will operate entirely remotely in 2021, and 15 percent plan to operate entirely remotely permanently.

Bullhorn’s Global Recruitment Insights and Data research is the result of a global survey conducted among 2,100 recruitment professionals in November and December of 2020. The findings spotlight the industry’s take on the current recruitment landscape—from financial forecasts and top priorities to persistent challenges and emerging technologies.

Bullhorn Announces New Strategic Investment from Stone Point Capital to Fuel Company’s Continued Growth https://www.bullhorn.com/eu/news-and-press/press-releases/bullhorn-stone-point-capital-partnership/ Tue, 08 Sep 2020 16:00:22 +0000 https://www.bullhorn.com/eu/?post_type=press_release&p=64063 Bullhorn®, the cloud computing company that helps staffing and recruiting organizations transform their businesses, today announced that Stone Point Capital will become the lead investor to power the next phase of the company’s growth. Insight Partners and Genstar will remain investors in the business. Stone Point was attracted to Bullhorn on the strength of its long-term opportunity to serve the global staffing and recruiting industry, its consistent revenue growth, and its reputation for customer success. The entire Bullhorn management team will remain with the company to execute on its strategic roadmap and continue its mission to create an incredible customer experience. 

 

The staffing and recruiting industry has increasingly embraced digital transformation, reexamining how their businesses should operate to drive deeper candidate and client relationships, to improve margins, and to compete effectively as the talent acquisition landscape fundamentally changes. The staffing and recruiting market is currently in the midst of transformational change, driven by several trends: 1) consolidation, necessitating process and system overhauls to facilitate greater responsiveness to customer needs; 2) a rethinking of service models, led by customer demand and exacerbated by the distributed nature of a COVID-impacted workforce, which requires flexible delivery frameworks predicated around candidate communication and engagement; and 3) increasing competition from peer firms and online staffing platforms alike, creating a need for speed and scale. Bullhorn is helping to shape this transformation, as companies invest in upgrading their technology infrastructure and business processes to meet the changing needs of their customers, candidates, and the industry at large.

 

Stone Point’s sector expertise in staffing and financial services will help to guide Bullhorn’s continued momentum with its pay and bill solutions, which allow staffing firms to align their sales and recruiting teams with finance and operations on a single platform that unifies operational and finance information so that firms can make better business decisions and deliver a superior customer experience. Stone Point is already an investor in one of Bullhorn’s fastest-growing partners, Prism HR, which provides an integrated payroll and benefits solution that extends the power of Bullhorn’s pay and bill solutions. The additional financial flexibility gained by Bullhorn in connection with Stone Point’s investment will enable the company to supercharge its previously announced Unified Workforce Management strategic roadmap to deliver a cohesive candidate experience through the entire recruitment lifecycle — from getting started to getting paid.  

 

“We are very excited to be working with the team at Stone Point as we enter the next phase of Bullhorn’s growth,” said Art Papas, founder and CEO of Bullhorn. “We have a tremendous opportunity to help the global staffing industry execute on their digital transformation strategies, and Stone Point’s experience and industry expertise will be invaluable as we grow the company to the next level. We’re also happy that Insight and Genstar will remain investors, as they have been integral to helping us more than double our revenue over the last three years.” 

 

Chuck Davis, CEO at Stone Point Capital, added: “We are excited about the long-term opportunity to work with Bullhorn. We are in the early stages of the industry’s adoption of digital transformation initiatives, and we couldn’t be more excited about partnering with an experienced team that knows the industry, their customers, and how to build a business with a deep focus on customer experience.”

 

“We’re thrilled to announce this investment by Stone Point in Bullhorn,” said Deven Parekh, Managing Director at Insight Partners. “While we weren’t actively seeking new investment, Stone Point’s deep experience in the finance and staffing industries and their strong conviction in Bullhorn makes them an incredibly valuable partner for the journey ahead. Bullhorn has and continues to outperform our projections as they help staffing firms digitally transform all aspects of their operations.”

 

“Despite the current macro-environment, we continue to find that great companies attract interest from leading investors,” said Eli Weiss, Managing Director at Genstar Capital. “It’s been great to work with Art and the team, and we’re looking forward to continuing to be a partner through this next phase of growth.”

 

Bullhorn expects the investment by Stone Point to close early in the fourth quarter of 2020. Terms of the deal will not be disclosed. Lazard and District Capital Partners served as financial advisors to Bullhorn in connection with this transaction.

Bullhorn Acquires Herefish to Help Accelerate Automation of Staffing Processes https://www.bullhorn.com/eu/news-and-press/press-releases/bullhorn-acquires-herefish/ Wed, 08 Jan 2020 14:59:40 +0000 https://www.bullhorn.com/eu/?post_type=press_release&p=63229 BOSTON – JANUARY 8, 2020 – Bullhorn®, the cloud computing company that helps staffing and recruiting organizations transform their businesses, today announced that it has acquired Herefish, a provider of automation solutions for staffing firms. As part of Bullhorn’s goal to serve as a trusted partner to staffing businesses, the acquisition of Herefish will help firms accelerate their transformation journey by enabling companies to automate time-consuming and manual spreadsheet-based processes to improve bottom-line and top-line growth. 

 

Herefish, a longtime Bullhorn Marketplace partner, is one of the leading providers of staffing business process automation, and its solutions will help Bullhorn customers improve recruiter productivity, maintain higher data quality and accuracy, and improve communication between recruiters, colleagues, candidates, and customers. On average, Herefish automates 7.2 million actions per month and saves 2.55 hours per recruiter per day. As Herefish expands to support more use cases and works with more companies, these productivity enhancements will continue to grow.

 

As a leading Marketplace partner, Herefish helps staffing and recruiting firms automate many of the manual, time-consuming process and messaging tasks throughout the recruiting process so that their teams can focus on what’s most important – building and nurturing human relationships. By eliminating error-prone manual tasks and maintaining completeness and accuracy of a firm’s database, employees not only have more time in their day to focus on revenue-generating activities, but also produce better results because they’re working with higher quality data. Herefish allows firms to effectively replicate their best employees by automating the ideal workflow across every employee – ensuring that everyone performs the right actions, every time – and subsequently allowing the entire team to benefit. 

 

“Staffing firms face numerous challenges across their businesses, but one thing is constant: all firms are looking to keep up with customer demands,” said Art Papas, founder and CEO of Bullhorn. “Moving to a fully digitized infrastructure with automated processes will help these firms keep pace. Herefish provides critical building blocks to enable this transformation, so that our customers can reap the benefits from improved productivity and top-line growth.”

 

“Automation is critical to the digital transformation of the staffing industry,” said Jason Heilman, CEO of Herefish, “and we’re excited to join the Bullhorn team and bring productivity and messaging efficiencies to the top staffing firms in the world. Bullhorn and Herefish have very customer-centric cultures and we cannot wait to help our customer base to prepare for the future and prepare to win.”

 

Terms of the transaction will not be disclosed.

Bullhorn Acquires Erecruit to Help Staffing Businesses Accelerate Their Digital Transformation Journey https://www.bullhorn.com/eu/news-and-press/press-releases/bullhorn-acquires-erecruit/ Tue, 01 Oct 2019 15:59:26 +0000 https://www.bullhorn.com/eu/?post_type=press_release&p=62709 BOSTON – OCTOBER 1, 2019 – Bullhorn®, the cloud computing company that helps staffing and recruiting organizations transform their businesses, today announced that it has acquired Erecruit, a provider of applicant tracking and pay and bill solutions and a leader in candidate experience for the staffing and recruitment industry. Terms of the transaction will not be disclosed. Following the extremely successful June release of Bullhorn One – the first start-to-finish staffing solution – the acquisition of Erecruit is designed to help Bullhorn further enhance its vision of delivering a unified solution to firms looking to leverage the power of automation to streamline operations and drive business growth. 

 

The acquisition of Erecruit is a strategic investment in Bullhorn’s vision to help staffing companies realize the promise of digital transformation in their businesses. Specifically, Bullhorn is excited about three strengths that the Erecruit team will provide. The first is intellectual property, which includes deep pay and bill, onboarding, and mobile candidate experience capabilities. The second is strong internal talent, comprising employees who have in-depth knowledge of the staffing industry, pay and bill processes, and large-scale pay and bill deployments. And the third is the Erecruit team’s long-standing relationships with some of the leading staffing firms in the industry and experience in addressing their diverse needs. 

 

In the quest to integrate sales, recruiting, and finance operations, staffing companies of all sizes face numerous challenges, the primary of which centers on leveraging technology to eliminate the inefficiencies of manual data management at various stages of the recruitment lifecycle. Bullhorn has long been known for providing a single system in which recruiters and salespeople can “live,” harnessing the power of the Bullhorn partner ecosystem, and managing recruiting delivery, sales, onboarding, VMS integration, and most recently, pay and bill processes in a unified platform. With the continued proliferation of temporary labor models as an attractive solution for the global talent shortage, the time has never been better for Bullhorn to further invest in its pay and bill solutions that underlie Bullhorn One. 

 

The acquisition of Erecruit will assist in furthering the already-significant market momentum of Bullhorn One and help the company drive greater productivity and results for customers of Bullhorn and Erecruit. Additionally, for Erecruit’s customers, becoming part of the Bullhorn family means access to $40 million in annual R&D and technical operations expenditure, a strong delivery engine and experience delivering enterprise projects at scale, continued innovation (including investments in cutting-edge artificial intelligence research and technology), and unparalleled staffing expertise developed over twenty years. 

 

“We’re excited to welcome Erecruit’s diverse portfolio of customers into the Bullhorn family,” said Art Papas, founder and CEO of Bullhorn. “Both companies have always shared a desire to serve the staffing and recruitment industry and help its constituents grow and achieve their business goals, and being able to do this as a collective unit is a privilege and affords a huge opportunity to advance the industry. Staffing firms face enormous pressures from investors, clients, candidates, and employees to digitize their businesses while simultaneously facing historically low unemployment. The timing has never been better for a unified team to address these challenges head-on for our customers.”

 

“Bullhorn’s commitment to delivering an incredible customer experience has long been an inspiration to its partners and peer technology providers to the staffing industry,” said Dominic Gallello, CEO of Erecruit, “and we’re looking forward to joining their team. We’ve always had ambitious goals that we’re eager to bring to fruition, and with Bullhorn’s resources and best practices powering us, we can deliver amazing ROI to our customers.” 

 

Erecruit has been delivering innovative software that serves the entire recruitment lifecycle, with the goal of helping organizations of all sizes and scale grow and succeed. Erecruit’s management team, including founders Judd Hoffman and Danko Fatovic, will join Bullhorn as crucial members of the extended leadership team to support and drive success for Erecruit customers.

 

Bullhorn was advised by District Capital Partners and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP on the transaction. Erecruit was advised by Paul Hastings on the transaction.

 

About Erecruit

Erecruit offers a comprehensive and innovative end-to-end staffing software platform designed to empower users to achieve exceptional results. The company serves the entire recruitment lifecycle with Erecruit Front Office, Middle Office, Credentialing, and VMS solutions for enterprise staffing firms; Adapt Front and Back Office software for newly formed to mid-sized firms; and eStaff365 Onboarding, TempBuddy temporary workforce management platform, and Innovantage for recruitment analytics and insights.
