The Challenge
Syntax Consultancy, a Derby-based recruitment agency, was facing challenges with its legacy customer relationship management (CRM) system. The system, built by the Syntax IT team in 2004, was no longer sufficient for the growing needs of the agency. The agency required a CRM system with scalable reporting and analysis functionality. The existing system was labor-intensive, leading to inaccuracies in data due to human error. This often resulted in decisions being made based on assumptions rather than concrete numbers. The agency was also spending a significant amount of time correlating multiple spreadsheets from each recruiter. Furthermore, the collation of key performance indicator (KPI) and board-level information was proving to be difficult.
About The Customer
Syntax Consultancy is the largest independent recruitment consultancy in the Midlands, England. The Derby-based agency offers a global recruitment service for IT, engineering, and manufacturing businesses. It specializes in matching highly skilled candidates with organizations that have specific technical requirements. In 2012, Syntax reviewed its CRM and business reporting solutions and decided that both needed to be upgraded. The agency had outgrown its legacy CRM system, which had been built by the Syntax IT team in 2004.
The Solution
After evaluating 12 different Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings, Syntax Consultancy decided to implement Bullhorn as its comprehensive online CRM and reporting solution. This decision was influenced by the additional reporting functionality offered through the Bullhorn Marketplace. The implementation of Bullhorn allowed Syntax to boost productivity and streamline operations into a single system and highly efficient workflow. It also enabled the automation of critical tasks, thereby decreasing error rates and bringing all processes into a web-based system. The new system provided instant access to information, saving time on daily activity and management. It also improved communication within the company as the new SaaS solution enabled the team to easily share resources and expertise from wherever they were working. Syntax was also able to integrate key reporting applications from the Bullhorn Marketplace to measure efficiencies and improve data quality.
Operational Impact
  • The implementation of Bullhorn and its Marketplace partners led to increased process visibility and resolved inefficiencies in Syntax's business processes. The new system revolutionized how candidates and consultants interact with one another and how candidates are measured in their placements. The automation of business intelligence initiatives allowed managers to focus more on strategy and productivity within their teams. The new system also freed up IT resources, allowing them to take on additional contracts with external clients, thereby increasing the overall agency revenue. The improved communication within the company facilitated easy sharing of resources and expertise, regardless of the team members' location.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Syntax earned £7,000 within days of implementation after successfully placing a candidate that wouldn’t have been found without the use of Bullhorn.
  • The automation of business intelligence initiatives freed up managers' time to focus on strategy and productivity within their teams.
  • The new system allowed IT resources to take on additional contracts with external clients, increasing overall agency revenue.
