Boston, MA (PRWEB) July 26, 2006

Bullhorn, the global leader in On Demand, front office staffing and recruiting software, today announced continued stellar growth in the staffing and recruiting software market for the second quarter of 2006, which ended on June 30, 2006. Compared to Q2 2005, Bullhorn’s 103 percent increase in new customer sales aided an overall 55 percent revenue increase, which was strong across all market segments from emerging firms to the enterprise. Growth from existing customers was also solid with an 11 percent increase that demonstrates the strength of Bullhorn’s software as a service business model. Bullhorn’s software as a service business model consists of monthly recurring revenue from new and existing customers and one-time professional services fees.

Bullhorn added 672 “live” users during the quarter, a 76 percent increase from the same period last year. “Live” users are those users that began using Bullhorn for the first time during the quarter. To service its growing client-base, Bullhorn increased its staff in customer support, professional services, development and sales by 108 percent during the last year.

“Our customers, and the market, are increasingly recognizing that an On Demand, integrated front office solution accelerates placements while helping them win new business opportunities,” said Arthur Papas, CEO and co-founder of Bullhorn. “We are now enhancing the value of Bullhorn by innovating in sourcing, through our announced Dragnet and Jobcast solutions, that promises to extend the On Demand, integrated front office into the area of addressing the growing candidate shortage.”

Additional highlights for the second quarter include:

• Bullhorn is rapidly closing in on 500 customers and 7,000 users worldwide.    
• Revenues and user seats from enterprise customers increased by 137 percent during Q2 2006 versus the same period last year.
• Revenues and user seats from mid-sized customers increased by 50 percent during Q2 2006 versus the same period last year.
• Revenues and user seats from emerging customers increased by 117 percent during Q2 2006 versus the same period last year.    
• Bullhorn made several, significant product-related announcements:
•     Dragnet and Jobcast, designed to significantly increase the effectiveness of sourcing candidates by staffing and recruiting professionals, will be available during Q3 2006.
•     Enhancements to Bullhorn in the area of client and candidate relationship management, and a multitude of productivity enhancements across the platform, were made available earlier in the quarter.
•     Bullhorn also announced sourcing-related partnerships with CareerBuilder.com and Monster.
• Bullhorn continued to expand its service delivery through a significant increase in its server capacity and the implementation of a storage area network.
• Bullhorn was named one of the Best Places to Work by the Boston Business Journal.

“During the second quarter, Bullhorn executed on all fronts to ensure our customers received outstanding service, enhancements to Bullhorn and new areas of innovation designed to help them grow their business,” said Barry Hinckley, president and co-founder of Bullhorn. “Early response from our customers indicates that the availability of Dragnet and Jobcast in the third quarter will provide them with a tremendous advantage to change the dynamics of sourcing.”
