Dialpad + Bullhorn

The Dialpad-Bullhorn integration streamlines HR and sales tasks by allowing seamless management of Bullhorn candidates and leads within Dialpad. Inbound calls trigger Bullhorn to display complete contact details, providing recruiters with a comprehensive view of the caller, and allowing them to enhance candidate and customer experiences.

Important call details, such as inbound/outbound status, caller name, call notes, transcript links, and more, are visible in Bullhorn activities. This ensures that your teams never miss a crucial interaction. The icing on the cake? Your Dialpad and Bullhorn data sync automatically across all devices.
