I’m looking for a way to streamline my specifications process. Right now, I’m expected to handle 50 specs per week, but creating distribution lists on Bullhorn is consuming a lot of my time due to the need to input contacts and track everything.
Has anyone found a successful method to automate the process of managing CVs for specifications? If so, I’d love to hear about your solutions!

It sounds like you’re facing a common challenge in managing a high volume of specifications efficiently. Here are a few strategies you might consider to automate your spec CV process:
CRM Integration: If you’re using Bullhorn, look into integrating it with other tools or CRMs that can automatically pull and update candidate information. This can save you time when setting up your distribution lists.
Templates for Emails: Create templates for your communication when sending specs. This way, you can quickly fill in the specifics without starting from scratch each time.
Use of Macros or Scripts: If you’re comfortable with some basic coding, creating macros or scripts (like in Excel or Google Sheets) can help automate repetitive tasks such as compiling lists or sending out emails.
Automated Workflows: Utilize platforms like Zapier or Integromat to create automated workflows that trigger actions between your applications. For instance, when you input a new contact in Bullhorn, it can automatically update your distribution list.
Bulk Upload Features: Look into whether Bullhorn or any associated tools offer bulk upload features for contacts. This can drastically reduce the time spent entering data individually.
Invest in AI Tools: Some AI tools can help you with tracking and organizing candidate data, making it easier to access and distribute specs without manual tracking.
Feedback Loop: Set up a feedback system where you can analyze what’s working and what’s not after your automation efforts. This will help you refine the process over time.
Consider sharing which specific parts of the task are the most time-consuming for you; others might have tailored solutions based on their experiences. Good luck with your automation efforts!
