Bullhorn Acquires Erecruit to Help Staffing Businesses Accelerate Their Digital Transformation Journey

Investment Aligns with Bullhorn’s Vision to Transform the Way Staffing Firms Work from Start to Finish

 

BOSTON – OCTOBER 1, 2019 – Bullhorn®, the cloud computing company that helps staffing and recruiting organizations transform their businesses, today announced that it has acquired Erecruit, a provider of applicant tracking and pay and bill solutions and a leader in candidate experience for the staffing and recruitment industry. Terms of the transaction will not be disclosed. Following the extremely successful June release of Bullhorn One – the first start-to-finish staffing solution – the acquisition of Erecruit is designed to help Bullhorn further enhance its vision of delivering a unified solution to firms looking to leverage the power of automation to streamline operations and drive business growth. 

The acquisition of Erecruit is a strategic investment in Bullhorn’s vision to help staffing companies realize the promise of digital transformation in their businesses. Specifically, Bullhorn is excited about three strengths that the Erecruit team will provide. The first is intellectual property, which includes deep pay and bill, onboarding, and mobile candidate experience capabilities. The second is strong internal talent, comprising employees who have in-depth knowledge of the staffing industry, pay and bill processes, and large-scale pay and bill deployments. And the third is the Erecruit team’s long-standing relationships with some of the leading staffing firms in the industry and experience in addressing their diverse needs. 

In the quest to integrate sales, recruiting, and finance operations, staffing companies of all sizes face numerous challenges, the primary of which centers on leveraging technology to eliminate the inefficiencies of manual data management at various stages of the recruitment lifecycle. Bullhorn has long been known for providing a single system in which recruiters and salespeople can “live,” harnessing the power of the Bullhorn partner ecosystem, and managing recruiting delivery, sales, onboarding, VMS integration, and most recently, pay and bill processes in a unified platform. With the continued proliferation of temporary labor models as an attractive solution for the global talent shortage, the time has never been better for Bullhorn to further invest in its pay and bill solutions that underlie Bullhorn One. 

The acquisition of Erecruit will assist in furthering the already-significant market momentum of Bullhorn One and help the company drive greater productivity and results for customers of Bullhorn and Erecruit. Additionally, for Erecruit’s customers, becoming part of the Bullhorn family means access to $40 million in annual R&D and technical operations expenditure, a strong delivery engine and experience delivering enterprise projects at scale, continued innovation (including investments in cutting-edge artificial intelligence research and technology), and unparalleled staffing expertise developed over twenty years. 

“We’re excited to welcome Erecruit’s diverse portfolio of customers into the Bullhorn family,” said Art Papas, founder and CEO of Bullhorn. “Both companies have always shared a desire to serve the staffing and recruitment industry and help its constituents grow and achieve their business goals, and being able to do this as a collective unit is a privilege and affords a huge opportunity to advance the industry. Staffing firms face enormous pressures from investors, clients, candidates, and employees to digitize their businesses while simultaneously facing historically low unemployment. The timing has never been better for a unified team to address these challenges head-on for our customers.”

“Bullhorn’s commitment to delivering an incredible customer experience has long been an inspiration to its partners and peer technology providers to the staffing industry,” said Dominic Gallello, CEO of Erecruit, “and we’re looking forward to joining their team. We’ve always had ambitious goals that we’re eager to bring to fruition, and with Bullhorn’s resources and best practices powering us, we can deliver amazing ROI to our customers.” 

Erecruit has been delivering innovative software that serves the entire recruitment lifecycle, with the goal of helping organizations of all sizes and scale grow and succeed. Erecruit’s management team, including founders Judd Hoffman and Danko Fatovic, will join Bullhorn as crucial members of the extended leadership team to support and drive success for Erecruit customers.

Bullhorn was advised by District Capital Partners and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP on the transaction. Erecruit was advised by Paul Hastings on the transaction.

Lyneer Staffing Solutions Modernizes Staffing Operations with Erecruit’s Enterprise Staffing Software Platform

Staffing company selects Erecruit’s Enterprise Staffing Software, eStaff365 Onboarding and TempBuddy Mobile Workforce solution to connect its front, middle and back office systems with one platform to streamline operations and provide more seamless customer and candidate experiences.

 

Boston, MA – January 23, 2019 – Erecruit™, the leading global technology provider and visionary for the staffing industry, today announced that Lyneer Staffing Solutions, a national leader in permanent, temporary and temp-to-perm employment services, has selected Erecruit’s Enterprise Staffing Software Platform, eStaff365 Onboarding and TempBuddy Mobile Workforce solutions to support the company’s continued growth.

As Lyneer has expanded in to a national firm supported by a vast network of more than one-hundred local offices, their aging technology applications were no longer able to support the day to day functionality that their candidates, clients and employees need to be successful.  Lyneer found themselves using multiple solutions that do not connect to one another, causing numerous inefficiencies and manual processes that impact business performance. This prompted their search to find an integrated software solution that would provide their team with best-in-class tools and would continue to scale in order to drive their business growth forward.

Twelve staffing software solutions were thoroughly evaluated by Lyneer. While each solution the team considered had its own features that were notable on an individual basis, none, other than Erecruit, were able to provide a complete, integrated platform to run their entire business. Going into the search process with over one-hundred varying requirements the company considers vital to modernizing their business operations, Erecruit proved to be the only solution able to check all of the boxes. Rather than purchasing numerous software applications and integrating them all together, Erecruit’s enterprise platform provides a single solution that includes all of the key functionality Lyneer requires to help them put more people to work, including modern candidate sourcing, onboarding and mobile workforce capabilities, the most robust and flexible middle office pay and bill solution built for large staffing companies, and dozens of existing integrations and open APIs to connect best of breed solutions.

Todd McNulty, CEO of Lyneer notes, “We value our partnership with Erecruit because their vision is congruent with the direction Lyneer is headed. Their game changing technology will undoubtedly provide our team with the tools to improve efficiencies and drive revenue. Erecruit will allow us to meet our current business demands and set pace for future growth.”

With the implementation of Erecruit, Lyneer foresees an overall business improvement from the streamlining of operations due to increasing efficiencies. For their employees, this means a reduction of manual processes, enabling them to spend more time focusing on creating additional revenue and less time handling inefficient administrative functions. The implementation of the Erecruit platform will ultimately allow Lyneer’s team to devote more time to sourcing talent and putting people to work.

“We are honored to partner with Lyneer to provide a platform to support growth and drive efficiency,” said Dominic Gallello, President & CEO of Erecruit. “Our industry-leading Middle-Office, integrated with our Front-Office, Onboarding and TempBuddy mobile application continues to deliver a new level of efficiency for our customers.”
