However, outdated data can lead to inefficiencies and delays. A messy CRM makes tracking vacancies difficult, finding top talent challenging, and increases sorting time and back-office errors.\r\n\r\nA well-maintained CRM ensures smooth recruitment and improved business development. Top-performing agencies digitize their data, as highlighted in the 2024 Bullhorn GRID report.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/data-hygiene-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out the data hygiene guide<\/a>\r\n \r\n\r\nTo achieve your goals and set your consultants up for success, it's essential to clean your CRM. While it may seem daunting, I've broken down the process step by step for you so you can have a clean database in just 4 weeks:\r\n<h2><strong>Week 1: assessment and planning<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<strong>Audit Current CRM Data:<\/strong> Commence by rigorously evaluating your current CRM setup. Sift through the existing database to pinpoint duplicate entries, outdated contacts who have left company records partial information and candidates who haven\u2019t had a note in over 3 years.\r\n\r\n<em>*Holly\u2019s Top Tip* Run each search and save the criteria as a favourite search. Any records that also fit this criteria will join the list, and you can refer back to this search at any point. When it\u2019s time to clean the data, you will know where to begin!<\/em>\r\n\r\n<strong>5 searches you should run are:<\/strong>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Vacancies open longer than 90 days<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Leads open longer than 30 days<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Candidates with no note added in the past 3 years<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Candidate with no email address and no phone number<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Contact has no email address and no phone number<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<strong>\r\nDefine Data Standards and Protocols:<\/strong> Establish best practices for data entry, ensuring consistency and reliability across all records. Check your field mappings to see if any fields need to be made mandatory to ensure the correct data is added to the system; this really helps drive a data-first approach. You should also already have a data retention policy to govern the lifecycle of information within your CRM. Double-check that this is still up to date with legislation and relevant to your workflows.\r\n\r\n<strong>Set a goal:<\/strong> Set clear, actionable objectives for the clean-up effort, considering the size and complexity of your database. If you are using automation, the time taken for the clean-up should be significantly reduced as the system can do large amounts of it for you. Allocate time to involve your team to help them understand why you are carrying out this process and how this will improve their experience using the CRM when doing business development and finding top talent. Most importantly, you need to define what will happen to each record that needs cleaning.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<em>*Holly\u2019s Top Tip* Make a list of the different records that need cleaning, e.g., Open leads older than 2 years, and then detail the recommended action, e.g., closing the lead. When you speak to other team members about what you will be doing and why, you will already be two steps ahead of how this process will work.<\/em>\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n<strong>Approval process:<\/strong> I often encounter people who are scared to archive large amounts of data from the system. My advice is to help them understand that your business will have better results once the out-of-date records have been removed. You can always add a temporary status, e.g., \u2018to be removed\u2019, which may bridge the gap while you confirm system archiving from those not 100% sure.\r\n<h2>Week 2: data cleansing and de-duplication<\/h2>\r\n<strong>Remove Duplicate Records:<\/strong> Bullhorn Automation automatically provides you with an exportable of your duplicate records. If you don\u2019t have access to Bullhorn Automation make sure your team are trained on how to report a duplicate record so it can be merged accordingly.\r\n\r\n<strong>Remove outdated information:<\/strong> engage with candidates to refresh their profiles, ensuring all records reflect their current details. Archive data outside its retention period or remove it if it lacks relevance to present and future recruitment activities.\r\n\r\n<strong>Action those saved lists:<\/strong> Now it\u2019s time to start cleaning up those favourite searches.\r\n\r\nDepending on the record type will determine what action you need to take, you may need to close old jobs, approve current placements or archive out-of-date clients and candidates.\r\n\r\n<em>*Holly\u2019s Top Tip* If you have a large number of lists to clean, do them gradually so it isn\u2019t too overwhelming!<\/em>\r\n\r\n \r\n<h2>Week 3: Process Optimisation and Automation<\/h2>\r\n<strong>Review and optimise workflows:<\/strong> Analyse and refine your current recruitment workflows and get feedback from the sales team on how the system is delivering for them. Redefine these workflows emphasising speed and simplicity to further capitalise on getting results from your CRM and supporting your recruitment consultants.\r\n\r\n<strong>Implement automation:<\/strong> Identify routine tasks that can be automated, such as sending pre-screen forms to collect information, adding relevant skills based on job title and automatically closing jobs or leads after certain time periods. Not forgetting, you can also create automated notifications and tasks to keep track of important dates, ensuring your recruitment process and compliance stay on course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Test and refine new processes:<\/strong> after implementation of any new process or automation, methodically test the new automation and workflow improvements. Request feedback from your team and tweak the CRM or process where necessary to get the desired results.\r\n\r\n \r\n<h2>Week 4: maintenance and future-proofing<\/h2>\r\n<strong>Develop a continuous data maintenance plan:<\/strong> Establish a regular cycle for data quality audits so that CRM maintenance becomes an ingrained, ongoing practice rather than an annual chore.\r\n\r\n<strong>Train the team on best practices:<\/strong> Ensure your team is well-versed in the new standards and processes. Encourage an environment where data quality is everyone\u2019s responsibility, fostering a shared commitment to maintaining a pristine CRM.\r\n\r\n<strong>Evaluate the cleanup and plan ahead:<\/strong> Review the progress made against your initial goals and address any outstanding concerns. Discuss strategies to keep your CRM at the core of recruitment technology and processes.\r\n\r\nBy following these steps, you will not only clean your CRM but also pave the way for a more streamlined and profitable recruitment process. But remember, the journey doesn't end here, continue to foster the culture of proactive CRM maintenance so your team can see ongoing benefits.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWant to learn more about making the most of recruitment technology?

While you\u2019re tackling your home, why not extend the same care to your Bullhorn database? Just like that overstuffed drawer or cluttered cupboard, your CRM can accumulate a lot of mess over time.\r\n\r\nHere\u2019s how you can effortlessly tidy up your Bullhorn data.\r\n \r\n\r\n<a class=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/data-hygiene-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check out the data hygiene guide<\/a>\r\n \r\n<h3><strong>Why is cleaning my Bullhorn database important?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nUnderstanding the importance of cleaning your Bullhorn CRM is crucial before diving in. Here are some reasons why it matters:\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Tap into revenue opportunities<\/strong>\r\n\r\nInaccurate data leads to wasted time and missed revenue opportunities. When your data is clean and reliable, your team can work more efficiently when searching for suitable candidates. Your clients and candidates will enjoy a better experience and you\u2019ll see improved redeployment and utilisation rates, and increased revenue.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Enable informed decision-making<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAccurate reporting relies on trustworthy data. Cleaning up your database ensures that the insights you get from your reports are based on solid foundations, enabling better decision-making for your company.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Maximise the value of your Bullhorn and optimize your integrations:<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe effectiveness of your Bullhorn integrations (for example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/products\/copilot\/\">AI<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/products\/vms-automation\/\">VMS<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/products\/recruitment-automation\/\">Bullhorn Automation<\/a>) hinges on the quality of the underlying data. By cleaning up your database, you set the stage for successful integrations that actually boost your ROI.\r\n\r\nWhat data should I clean up?\r\n\r\nThe specific data cleanup needs will vary for each company. However, here are some common areas you can focus on regardless of your size, industry or market:\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Duplicate records<\/strong>\r\n\r\nDuplicate records clutter your database and lead to inefficiencies. Identifying and merging duplicates streamlines your operations, improves reporting accuracy, and enhances automation outcomes.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Incomplete candidate records<\/strong>\r\n\r\nEnsure that your candidate records contain essential contact information and CVs\/resumes. Identifying records with missing data or outdated information improves the quality of your searches and enhances candidate engagement efforts.\r\n\r\n<strong>3. Standardization of data<\/strong>\r\n\r\nConsistent data formatting is essential: standardize data fields that are used for things like reporting, generative AI, emailing or Bullhorn Automation.\r\n<h3><strong>How can I clean up Bullhorn?<\/strong><\/h3>\r\nYou have several options for cleaning up your Bullhorn database:\r\n\r\n<strong>1. Manual updates<\/strong>\r\n\r\nTime-consuming, manual updates can be effective if you have the resources available. But this is a really expensive way of doing it! Assigning consultants to clean up the database can also put you at risk of manual error and takes time and effort away from engaging with clients and candidates.\r\n\r\n<strong>2. Custom projects<\/strong>\r\n\r\nConsider outsourcing a custom data cleanup project to a third party.

Bullhorn Copilot will span the entire Bullhorn platform, beginning with Copilot Starter, a set of generative AI capabilities embedded directly in recruiters\u2019 ATS\/CRM. Copilot Starter debuted at the Bullhorn Engage event in Sydney today ahead of an April product release.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Like many others, the staffing industry quickly adopted generative AI in 2023, with <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/news-and-press\/press-releases\/grid-2024-industry-trends-report\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">55% of staffing firms<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> reporting that they have experimented with AI, according to a recent Bullhorn survey of staffing professionals worldwide. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While the adoption of AI is still in its earliest stages, firms that experimented with AI in 2023 were already 31% more likely to see revenue gains than firms that have not begun experimenting with AI<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Bullhorn\u2019s unparalleled access to data on recruitment outcomes fuels AI investment<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bullhorn Copilot will span the entire Bullhorn platform, with AI-driven capabilities embedded directly into recruiters\u2019 workflows. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bullhorn\u2019s approach will apply AI technology to three categories designed specifically to serve the needs of staffing firms: generative AI, source and match AI, and directive AI.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Generative AI<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will help recruiters write content and messages more efficiently and effectively.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Source and match AI<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will help recruiters and sales teams find the best candidates and jobs, allowing them not only to identify candidates that match search terms the recruiter enters, as they do today, but also to predict which candidates are most likely to be placed successfully.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><b>Directive AI<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> will help staffing professionals identify the most appropriate next step in their work, informed by past successful outcomes.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Copilot allows staffing professionals to harness the benefits of AI right in the workflows they\u2019re already using every day. At the same time, they are able to benefit from the wealth of centralized data and industry expertise within Bullhorn: using prompts informed by Bullhorn\u2019s understanding of staffing, leveraging algorithms that learn from the successes of the most productive recruiters, and being able to apply these insights across all aspects of the business. With 4.4 million placements made in the Bullhorn ATS alone in 2023, machine learning capabilities deployed within the Bullhorn platform are trained on an unparalleled volume of real job placement outcomes.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Generative AI capabilities are the first to launch, with additional source-and-match and directive AI capabilities to follow later in 2024 and 2025.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Copilot Starter offers generative AI purpose-built for staffing<\/b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Copilot Starter, the first set of these new capabilities, puts generative AI functionality directly into the ATS to allow recruiters to draft candidate communications faster and more thoroughly. Using data they have already entered into the system, recruiters can craft more accurate and relevant communications, instead of building their own AI prompts in a second application. Copilot Starter uses generative AI to help recruiters with the following tasks:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creating pre-screening questions<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drafting rejection messages<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pitching a candidate for a job<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Updating a candidate\u2019s resume<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Summarizing a candidate\u2019s profile<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Creating a client pitch<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Improving a message to a candidate<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Copilot supports integrations to multiple AI providers, allowing staffing firms to evaluate and choose the LLM provider that best suits their business needs. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bullhorn Copilot will unlock new levels of quality and productivity, allowing junior recruiters to operate at the level of seasoned professionals and enabling experienced recruiters to work faster with greater accuracy.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Bullhorn has partnered closely with customers on early adoption of this functionality to understand where AI can add the most value for their firms.
