Increase the positive effect you have without adding more hours to your working week.

Feeling the pressure? Three Bullhorn tips to increase your impact in 2022

If you hit 2022 feeling refreshed and ready to take on the new year but are starting to feel the pre-holiday pressures and burnout beginning to creep back in, it’s natural to assume that you need to lessen your workload.

But research suggests that burnout isn’t always the result of high workloads; it’s often the result of too little impact! Fortunately, there are ways of increasing the positive effect you have without adding more hours to your working week.

Read on to learn three ways to get that ‘new year feeling’ back when you’re not achieving the impact you set out to have.

1. Save effort and errors in candidate and client paperwork

Even with the best of intentions, we’re all at risk of making manual errors. Sometimes these are harmless, but what if you add the wrong salary/rate of pay or incorrect start and end dates to a contract? This can result in not only a serious mess to sort out but damage to your reputation, too.

Adding the correct information is only one part of the process involved in managing your recruiting paperwork. We all know that speed is essential when securing candidates. But formatting CVs to look consistent and professional, creating packs containing multiple documents, saving them to the correct place, and even sending them for signature all takes time.

What if there was a way that you could streamline and automate these processes - creating, signing, and managing your documents - all without leaving Bullhorn? Introducing Kyloe AwesomeDocs, the end-to-end document automation system designed with recruitment in mind (and the product your competitors don’t want you to know about!).

From CVs to contracts and terms of business to non-disclosure agreements, Kyloe AwesomeDocs has been used to generate over 2.9 million documents by our clients, helping them win more placements and business, reduce compliance risk, and improve the client and candidate experience.

2. Banish duplicate Bullhorn records

Recruitment and staffing companies often underestimate the negative impacts of having duplicate records in their Bullhorn database, but they really can have harmful knock-on effects.

We ran a survey to find out how duplicate CRM records affect recruiting and staffing firms. 80% of respondents said that duplicate Bullhorn records were a real problem for their recruiting and staffing company (see infographic here).

The day to day impacts of duplicate records

48% said that this makes running searches in the CRM difficult
38% said that it made their reporting inaccurate
38% said that they wasted time creating the same contacts over and over

The impacts go far beyond daily annoyances and workarounds though, and can actually damage your business.

Thankfully, deduping records has never been easier, quicker, or more affordable thanks to Kyloe DataTools – watch our short video to learn how.

3. Keep your data ready for automation and reporting

Dirty data doesn’t stop at duplicates. If you’re running automations that aren’t working as you’d hoped, or you’ve learned to take your reporting with a pinch of salt, it’s likely that inaccurate data is the culprit.

Cleaning this data up could be the key to reaching your business goals. For optimum results, ongoing data hygiene needs to be part of company culture, with proactive data cleansing practices embedded into the day-to-day behaviour of your firm.

In addition to deduping your Bullhorn records, Kyloe DataTools gives you the ability to make mass updates to your Bullhorn data, without the cost, time investment and scripting knowledge normally needed.

More accurate reporting

Your data is always decaying - a one-time fix isn't enough. Base your reporting (and decisions) on up-to-date data that you can trust. Kyloe DataTools sets a great foundation for Canvas and other reporting tools.

Run successful automations

If you’re not getting as much out of your automations as you hoped it’s likely that you’re hitting roadblocks due to poor quality data – Kyloe DataTools helps fix this and enables you to get more ROI on automations such as Herefish and Sense.
