Joe Shoemaker

Chief Executive Officer at Fathom Recruitment

Has streamlined applicant tracking and helped consolidate all candidate interactions in one, easily searchable system.

What I appreciate best about Bullhorn is its user interface. I enjoy the flexibility that you have with it and how you can customize it to meet your needs. Especially since with some competitors platforms, candidates can only be searched by a specific job, or by keywords only. With Bullhorn, you can search by literally any metric you track; graduation year, major, geogrpahic location (within X miles), etc. It allows you to search the entire candidate pool in your database easily. I have tried many other platforms, and work within some of my client's ATS' as well. Bullhorn just can't be beat.

Offers the capability to customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything

The best thing is we can customize it. For example, there are some standard procedures in CRM, the opportunity that is standard. Other than that, we can create customized software on a business-to-business basis. So, if I don't want to follow any standard upgrade of CRM, I can customize it the way I want, create my own CRM, and create a new closed integration with everything. I can make my own CRM. The analytics in Oracle CX Sales are good. We can use ODA (Oracle Digital Assistant) to track data. There are some out-of-the-box reports for things like currency exchange data or product lists. These features are there by default. If you need to create new custom reports, it's possible to do so. They've been lagging behind the visual builder recently, but the product has improved.

"It covers sales very well."

Cons

"Bullhorn Onboarding, which is a catastrophe; it's not further developed, and they have not provided a new solution for the German-speaking market in five years."

"I think one thing that could be improved is that it's expensive."

"It gives multiple entries for the same data because if you enter it once, it has to populate all other fields that are relevant."

"They could provide more integrated AI features as part of the platform rather than as a separate offering."

"They've been lacking in creating customization from scratch and in sales."

"The tool must allow developers to check logs."

"Improvements for Oracle CX Sales include enhancing the user interface (UI) to meet modern standards. Many clients prefer a more optimized UI over the classic one. The market is moving towards better UI and UX design coupled with functionalities. Oracle has a tool called VBCS that can help improve the UI. With VBCS, the look and feel of the application can be completely transformed. For example, Oracle CX Sales has been implemented for Ferrari, a top automotive industry player."

"We have had some issues with integration between our old database and the Oracle CX Sales Cloud, but it has been working well for the time being."

"They should have a mobile app because the sales folks travel a lot. Rather than logging into an application on the desktop, a mobile application update should be easier for them."

"CX Sales' stability isn't the best - it has a tendency to crap out and need refreshing, especially when creating quotes."
