Human capital is critical, and staffing firms face a crossroads—balancing talent retention and health benefits administration in a dynamic market. 

Benefits in a Card (BIC) is a technology-driven solution that raises the benchmark for managing and delivering benefits to the workforce. Powered by the proprietary Benefits Wizard platform, BIC integrates with technological giants like Oracle, Workday, Avionté, Equifax, and Bullhorn, transforming benefits for temporary staff. These integrations streamline workflows, allowing staffing firms to focus on placements. 

BIC’s ability to offer immediate, comprehensive health benefits to contractors is a key differentiator. It modernizes the work experience for those on specialized or short-term projects, with customizable plans tailored for staffing firms. This approach increases worker satisfaction, loyalty, and commitment. 

A standout offering, FreeRx.com, tackles the crucial issue of health care accessibility by making essential medications affordable, removing cost and access barriers. This ensures employees stay healthy and, by extension, more engaged. The Virtual Healthcare Services Suite further amplifies this benefit, providing proactive, convenient health care for temporary workers. 

Carl Stecker, founder and chief executive officer, shares the company’s strategy: “We listen to our clients and prioritize their needs. Last year, partner integrations were a major focus—and we’re just getting started.” 

BIC champions staffing firms’ resource constraints and redefines the traditional benefits landscape, raising the staffing industry’s benchmark by how benefits are managed and delivered to the workforce. BIC positions itself as an asset through the convergence of technology, health, and a human-centric approach.

Bullhorn reimagines recruitment with AI infused everywhere

With Bullhorn Candidate Matching agent actions, customers will be able to automatically generate lists of qualified candidates to more quickly and accurately fill placements in fewer steps, removing manual work for recruiters.

Agentforce includes a set of tools to create and customize agents as well as a suite of out-of-the-box agents. The Agentforce Partner Network is a global ecosystem of leading partners building new third-party AI agents and agent actions for Agentforce.

Bullhorn’s agent action for Agentforce can be integrated into customers’ existing Salesforce agents in Agent Builder or discovered on Salesforce AppExchange, the leading enterprise cloud marketplace.

Bullhorn Recruitment Cloud delivers front-to-back solution to help enterprise businesses grow

Bullhorn also announced Bullhorn Recruitment Cloud, the latest suite of products on the Salesforce platform that includes ATS, automation, workforce management, middle office, and AI capabilities infused throughout. Informed by 25 years of recruitment expertise, Bullhorn designed Recruitment Cloud to meet the needs of a wide variety of customers, from firms looking for a lightweight ATS to plug into a customized tech stack to those seeking a full front-to-back solution. Recruitment Cloud builds that deep expertise into all the processes that run a recruitment business — from sales to invoicing — through technology that firms can easily customize to differentiate themselves from the competition.

In recent years, Bullhorn has seen a significant increase in adoption of the Salesforce platform. Bullhorn revenue on the Salesforce platform has grown at an average annual rate of nearly 30% since 2019. Bullhorn solutions on the Salesforce platform are currently used across 40 countries, including by four of the five largest global recruitment agencies and multi-billion-dollar public companies.

Eliassen Group, a leading strategic consultancy, now leverages Bullhorn to seamlessly integrate its sales, recruiting, time, and invoicing operations while handling over 20,000 pay/bill transactions per week, with over one million expected in the next year. “Our strategic partnership with Bullhorn has enabled us to pioneer an end-to-end solution that combines the benefits of Bullhorn’s staffing solutions with the Salesforce platform,” said Rob Waddell, EVP and CIO at Eliassen Group. “We’re looking forward to using the power of Bullhorn Recruitment Cloud and its capabilities to continue to innovate and stay on the front lines of AI in the future.”

Marketplace gives firms the ability to build unique solutions to differentiate their brand

In addition to the Recruitment Cloud suite of products, Bullhorn is launching Recruitment Cloud Marketplace, a curated ecosystem of technology partners that provide enterprise-level staffing firms the tools they need to build unique, integrated solutions. The Recruitment Cloud Marketplace includes recruitment-specific vetting and certification of 20 partners currently, and an investment in the infrastructure, documentation, validation, and support staffing firms need to modernize their tech stacks.

“We’ve spent the last 25 years closely studying our customers’ businesses, from the way they win and service their clients to the way they cut paychecks and deliver invoices,” said Art Papas, founder and CEO of Bullhorn. “We are passionate about creating software that helps all of these processes run more smoothly as our customers grow.

More than 60% of candidates would be comfortable with AI handling the entire recruitment process – from job matching to onboarding and even the interview process. That’s according to the Global Recruitment Insights and Data 2024 Talent Trends Report from Bullhorn, the global leader in software for the staffing and recruitment industry. 

With a challenging economy and an increasing demand for skilled workers in industries like healthcare, staffing firms must consider candidate needs to maintain the flexibility and scalability of a contingent workforce. Four in five (80%) candidates expect to be placed in less than 20 days, and 65% of candidates want communication from a recruiter once a week or more, according to the GRID findings.

Among candidates who were dissatisfied with the recruitment process, speed and job fit were among the most common pain points. The report revealed that 56% felt their recruiter didn’t understand what they were looking for in a job, and 44% felt recruiters were too slow to respond. The impact of excellent sourcing goes beyond fighting these pain points – with more than half (53%) of candidates choosing their current staffing agency based on a positive past experience, meaning the value of speed and fit can reap bottom-line rewards.

AI: The secret weapon for candidate loyalty in staffing and recruitment

Artificial intelligence (AI) provides staffing firms with a seamless solution for speed and accuracy within the recruitment process. The report suggests that AI is the key tool to deliver that value, and candidates are fully on board with AI in the hiring process – 81% of candidates say they are comfortable with AI in recruiting if it speeds up the process, and 79% are comfortable with AI if personalization is not compromised.

“AI presents an opportunity to win for candidates, staffing firms, and clients alike,” said Jason Heilman, SVP Product Automation & AI. “Candidates look to AI to speed up the job search process, create more contact, and make sure their value as a prospective worker is properly represented. At the same time, staffing firms want to hire better talent faster for their clients, and their clients want the best people on their teams. AI fuels the hiring process of the future, unlocking the ability for all participants in the process to reap the benefits of a faster, more accurate, and improved experience.”

About the GRID Talent Trends Report

The annual GRID Talent Trends Report is based on a multiple-choice, online survey of more than 2,400 respondents who worked with a staffing firm in the last five years. Respondents work across a variety of industries and around the globe, including North America, the UK and Ireland, Benelux, DACH, and APAC. The survey was conducted in June 2024.
