About this episode

Jason Heilman, Senior Vice President of Product, Automation, and AI at Bullhorn, and our host James Mackey, offer a masterclass in AI and Automation for recruiting organizations. Drawing from Jason’s experience as co-founder of Herefish (acquired by Bullhorn in 2019), Jason reveals how automation serves as the essential foundation for effective AI implementation in recruiting.

While many companies experiment with AI tools, Jason emphasizes focusing on core recruiter functions - particularly candidate matching and screening. These high-leverage activities not only boost efficiency but also create measurable competitive advantages. Bullhorn's data shows a striking 36% productivity increase for recruiters using automation tools compared to those who don't.
