Bullhorn ®, the global leader in on demand recruitment software, today announced the release of Bullhorn Universal Search, which provides the most extensive and intelligent candidate search solution available to date. Using Universal Search, recruiters can simultaneously search over 70 million CVs from more than 10,000 paid and free sources including LinkedIn, Monster, JobServe, Jobsite and professional and social networks from directly within Bullhorn. Cutting-edge matching technology identifies the best fits for the job to cut down manual screening time so that recruiters can more quickly contact the strongest talent.

Peter Linas, Managing Director of Bullhorn UK commented:

"Searching for candidates can be a real headache for recruiters, when they have to visit each job site independently and test keywords and trawl through CVs, many of which are duplicated across sites. This can make comparing and cross-referencing difficult.  Universal Search solves these issues by providing a one-stop solution to finding the best possible candidates across the widest range of sources in the least amount of time."

Universal Search provides users with the ability to run searches immediately or at scheduled intervals and receive email notifications when new results arrive. With this ‘set it and forget it' feature, users can walk away and focus on other priorities, knowing that Universal Search is continuously working behind the scenes. Recruiters can also compare results across various boards and, because all of the data is in Bullhorn, easily determine which sources produce the best results.

"Sourcing the best candidates is critical to our business, but searching the multitude of forums, social media and job boards and sorting through hundreds of CVs takes way too much time," said Donna Hewett of London-based recruiter Spencer Ogden. "With Universal Search, we look forward to getting through the search phase faster so we can begin engaging candidates sooner."

Universal Search is the latest addition to Bullhorn's arsenal of innovative technologies that help staffing and recruiting professionals fill jobs faster and easier. Its time-saving technology enables recruiters to forget about administrative tasks and focus instead on more direct revenue-generating activities. Universal Search is available to all Bullhorn clients. To learn more, please visit www.bullhorn.com/sourcing.php.
