Bullhorn, the global leader in software for the staffing and recruitment industry, has launched Bullhorn Insights, a new research and data platform designed to provide near real-time visibility into labor market trends across the UK and Ireland.
The new site builds on Bullhorn’s unique vantage point in the employment ecosystem. Temporary labor and recruitment activity have long served as leading indicators for the broader job market—typically contracting one to two quarters before wider employment slowdowns and expanding ahead of economic recovery. With access to millions of proprietary hiring and placement data points flowing through its platform, Bullhorn is able to surface emerging workforce patterns well before they appear in government labor reports or traditional economic data.
Bullhorn Insights expands on the company’s established Global Recruitment Insights & Data (GRID) research by offering more frequent, forward-looking insights based on aggregated and anonymised customer data.
What’s New in Bullhorn Insights
The platform introduces two new data sets alongside its existing GRID research:
Hiring Outlook
Provides recruitment and hiring metrics that signal employer confidence, including fill rates, hiring selectivity, and demand shifts across sectors. Bullhorn’s broad customer base—spanning staffing firms of all sizes and specialisations—offers a wide-angle view into changing hiring behaviour.
Job Market Trends
Delivers a forward-looking view of UK job openings by industry, role type, skill set, and compensation level. The data is drawn directly from millions of live records within Bullhorn’s proprietary software, offering insight into where demand is forming rather than where it has already peaked.
GRID (Global Recruitment Insights & Data)
Bullhorn’s long-running annual research report remains a core component of the platform. GRID aggregates survey data from thousands of staffing leaders worldwide, highlighting evolving business priorities, technology adoption, and workforce expectations.
Designed for Faster, Better Decisions
By consolidating near real-time market signals with long-term trend analysis, Bullhorn Insights is intended to help staffing firms, recruiters, and workforce strategists:
-
Spot shifts in hiring demand earlier than traditional data sources
-
Identify growth opportunities before competitors
-
Adjust recruiting strategies based on live market behavior
-
Make more informed decisions amid economic uncertainty
As labor markets continue to move quickly—and unevenly—Bullhorn is positioning Bullhorn Insights as a data advantage rooted in day-to-day hiring activity rather than lagging indicators.
