ìAs a former senior level executive at a large staffing and recruiting firm that uses Bullhorn, I know the importance of taking advantage of Bullhorn quickly to drive our growth. Knowing Bullhorn would allow us to start working the way we want to work, immediately, was a huge advantage. Considering all the investments we made to launch our firm -- including software, office equipment, advertising and more -- and all the things that can go wrong with start-ups, Bullhorn was the one thing that went extremely well,î says Tom Otway, partner, Old North Partners. ìThe software allows us to work the way we want to work, and being on demand, it is always available.î
