challenge

Before LanternBRP™

[ 01 ]

Core Business Pain Points

Bullhorn ATS/CRM is outdated and is creating slow candidate matching, manual recruiter workflows, data silos across our 25+ brands, and delays in client reporting, resulting in missed placements and inflated administrative costs.

[ 02 ]

Why It Mattered

In a hyper-competitive talent market with volatile client demand and rising labor costs, real-time visibility and intelligent matching became non-negotiable for maintaining high fill rates, client retention, and 30%+ gross margins while scaling our nationwide network.

[ 03 ]

Who Felt It Most

Recruiters, Branch Managers, Talent Acquisition Leads, Network Operations Directors, and CFO

[ 04 ]

Quantified Impact

25-40% longer time-to-fill on key roles/excess recruiter hours on manual tasks

15-20% lower fill rates due to poor matching, duplicate records, and lack of real-time visibility

Manual data reconciliation and compliance reporting took 10-15 hours/week per team

Payroll/billing errors and missed cross-brand opportunities from disconnected systems averaged 4-6 incidents per quarter

[ 05 ]

Current Workarounds

Relied on Bullhorn + third-party job boards + email chains + Excel for cross-brand visibility

Manual processes led to data silos, duplicate candidate records, version-control issues, and delayed multi-brand reporting
