I’m looking for a solution to automate my specs. Right now, I’m expected to handle 50 specs a week, but configuring distribution lists on Bullhorn is consuming a lot of my time, especially with adding contacts and keeping track of everything.
Has anyone successfully automated their spec CV process? If so, I’d love to hear how you did it!

Automating your specs workflow can save you a lot of time and help you stay organized. Here are some strategies you can consider to streamline your process in Bullhorn:
Templates: Create templates for your specs and CVs. This will minimize the time spent formatting and allow you to fill in the necessary information quickly.
Automation Tools: Utilize Bullhorn’s built-in automation features, such as workflows and triggers. Set rules that automatically distribute CVs to relevant contacts based on criteria you define.
Integrate Applications: Consider integrating third-party applications like Zapier or Integromat with Bullhorn to automate tasks. For example, when a new CV is added, you could automatically email the distribution list.
Bulk Uploads: If you’re manually entering contacts, look into bulk upload options to save time. Prepare a CSV or Excel file with the necessary data and import it into Bullhorn.
Job Board Integrations: Some recruitment platforms or job boards can post your specs and CVs automatically to multiple sites, reducing the need for manual distribution.
Track Metrics: Set up reports in Bullhorn to track the efficiency of your specs process. This can help identify bottlenecks that could be automated further.
Regular Updates: Make sure your contact lists are regularly updated and maintained. This will reduce the time spent on distribution lists as you’ll have fewer discrepancies.
Feedback Loop: Engage with your team about what works and what doesn’t. Continuous improvement in your process can lead to better efficiency.
