      Bullhorn Leadership No Longer Follows Core Values

      Senior trainer

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Remote-First Environment Unlimited PTO Decent Healthcare Options 401k Options Collaborative Teams: Despite leadership challenges, many of the team members are supportive and collaborative, making day-to-day work enjoyable.

      Cons

      Bullhorn used to be a place where core values like collaboration, integrity, and employee support were at the forefront. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case. Leadership now openly dismisses feedback, with some leaders (COO & CPO) telling employees who express concerns that they can "find somewhere else to work." This approach creates a toxic environment where feedback is not welcomed, and employees feel unsupported. Leadership and HR are fully aware of these issues, yet they continue to justify them in their responses to negative Glassdoor reviews, which is disappointing. They promote an open-door policy and even include a Energy value stating they encourage to provide feedback. Unfortunately when you do so, you will be retaliated against and pushed out of the company, by no longer being added to projects with visibility, being ignored by leadership, or in some cases provided a surprising negative review after years of being a "Role-Model". Another major concern is the placement of leaders who lack the necessary knowledge and skillsets for their roles, but who have been promoted based on personal friendships rather than merit. This has resulted in ineffective decision-making and has further eroded trust within the organization. Employees with the potential to make impactful contributions are overlooked, while unqualified individuals are placed in key roles simply due to their connections. It is possible to reach the $1B goal while still maintaining a positive employee experience, but that requires leadership to genuinely care about their people and not just the bottom line. Customers have also started to notice the increasing turnover, and many are voicing concerns about no longer receiving the incredible customer experience that once set Bullhorn apart.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and feedback. I agree that it's possible to build and grow our company while maintaining our strong, positive employee experience. The leadership teams and I are personally committed to doing so. I also understand that you feel as though your experience here did not reflect that. Both these things can be true and I'm sorry that you left feeling like this. I welcome any employee to have a 1:1 conversation with me so that I can hear their concerns/feedback and show them that I care about their experience with real action. I have taken action many times if I find that an employee or leader here is not living our core values. We don't shy away from addressing things that can be improved. But the same expectation goes back to our employees. If you cannot live our core values, then we're going to have a tough conversation. We're all ears for constructive feedback. And rejecting feedback that is given in a toxic and unproductive manner certainly does not mean we are gaslighting our employees when they speak up. We ask for feedback twice per year through our formal surveys. We read, review and respond in great detail to these results because we care about the health of our culture. We also welcome informal conversations at any time to address things in real time. Unfortunately, I don’t recall having the opportunity to speak to you about your frustrations. Our belief is that employees should be fulfilled & excited in their roles, and when an employee isn't happy, doesn't like or agree with a change that is occurring, or finds the level of stress to be too much, that they should look for a new job. We do all we can to help solve challenges and don’t shy away from fixing things that are broken. But there are also times where it is perfectly okay to acknowledge that the fit between an employee and the company doesn't work anymore. I would much rather have that mature conversation, and help an employee transition than I would and try to jam a round peg into a square hole. That benefits no one. Life is much too short to wake up stressed every day and dreading work - there are plenty of great companies out there to work for. Ours is one of them. Maybe not for everyone, and maybe not forever. And that's okay. I hope your next role is a great one for you - should you ever want to talk to discuss your personal experience, you know where to find me! - Kelley Morse, CPO

      A great place to work and grow your career

      Pros

      I love the people I work with, and my team is made up of some of the most intelligent, creative, and hardworking people I know. Bullhorn really prioritizes career development, company culture, and uplifting its employees, three things that have kept me here for over 5 years. While every team's experience may differ, overall, I think Bullhorn's leadership team does a great job of communicating company updates and ensuring everyone at the company understands what our core strategy means for them and their job. On top of that, Bullhorn offers great benefits, a generous PTO policy, and tons of learning and development opportunities,

      Cons

      If pivoting and handling ambiguity is not your strong suit, Bullhorn may be a tough environment for you. Since the nature of our industry changes often due to market shifts or economic uncertainty, we also need to be able to pivot and remain agile as a result. This often means changing priorities or updating strategies on a dime... something that can be tough to get used to!

      Great company to work for

      Pros

      I joined the company as part of an acquisition; professionally speaking, that was the best thing that could have happened to me. Bullhorn provides and promotes an environment where you can achieve pretty much anything you set your mind to. Senior leadership will champion your growth and help support you every step of the way if that is what you want out of your career. Constructive feedback to anything and everything is valued and welcomed, ensuring the business continuously evolves and improves for us as employees as well as our customers. I know this company culture is not something that should be taken for granted, but valued and cherished.

      Cons

      The remote-first environment brings definite benefits, but I tend to miss interactions with colleagues who don't join social gatherings or come into the office occasionally. It can limit your contacts to just those you work with frequently, instead of having a bigger group of colleagues to enjoy and get to know.

      Appreciate this review! It's not always easy to come in from an acquisition, but it can open up a ton of new opportunities. I am glad that has been the case for you and you've found a home at Bullhorn. This is really good feedback, and acknowledgement for us as a whole and a leadership team. Please keep the communication flowing and if this ever changes for you, let's talk! THANK YOU! - Kelley Morse, CPO
