In a significant move, the Adecco Group, a global leader in talent management, has announced an enhanced partnership with Bullhorn, a major player in recruitment software. This collaboration aims to promote innovations in recruitment that are powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI). With the integration of Bullhorn's advanced tools, including the AI-powered Search and Match system within the Recruitment Cloud, Adecco seeks to transform the recruitment process for its clients and candidates alike.
The core of this partnership revolves around the implementation of Bullhorn's latest Applicant Tracking System (ATS), designed to streamline the candidate-job matching process. By utilizing advanced algorithms, the platform can identify the most appropriate candidates quickly and efficiently without the need for tedious manual searches conducted by recruiters. This technology promises to save valuable time, enhancing productivity across Adecco's teams.
Bullhorn’s AI Search and Match system will be seamlessly integrated into Adecco's front-office platform, reflecting a deep commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology for enhanced client experiences. As part of the Salesforce #Agentforce partner network, Bullhorn provides a well-established ecosystem that further supports this integration, ensuring a smooth transition between platforms for users.
This initiative supports the Adecco Group's strategic goals focused on using technology to improve recruitment experiences, setting ambitious targets to achieve double-digit enhancements in hiring rates and reduced time-to-fill for job positions. It empowers clients to find better-matched candidates more reliably and expedites the job search for candidates, aligning opportunities with their expectations more closely than ever before.
Currently, solutions offered by Bullhorn are utilized daily by recruiters across Adecco’s three global business units—Adecco, Akkodis, and LHH. Under the terms of this renewed agreement, the number of Bullhorn Recruitment Cloud users at Adecco is set to increase by 20% by the end of 2025. This expansion will target key markets including Germany and Italy, alongside smaller regions where Adecco operates. This move is a continuation of a ten-year-long relationship that has seen both companies collaborate closely to implement advanced recruitment solutions that adapt to evolving market demands.
Denis Machuel, CEO of the Adecco Group, expressed enthusiasm for the enhanced partnership, emphasizing the critical role of technology in shaping the future of work. He highlighted that over 23,000 employees leverage Bullhorn Recruitment Cloud daily to secure employment for individuals, showcasing the integral role of these technological innovations in recruitment.
“Together, we are developing innovative AI solutions that will redefine recruitment experiences and transform interactions for employees and clients alike,” Machuel stated, underlining the vital collaboration that will continue to evolve.
Art Papas, CEO and founder of Bullhorn, also commented on the partnership, noting that this advancement marks a turning point for the recruiting sector. He believes AI will undoubtedly revolutionize client growth and profitability and sees leaders like Adecco integrating AI into their recruiting processes as key to paving the future for the industry.
