Bullhorn Integration — Simple Guide

How to connect Bullhorn to Bilflo, and how to get it working again if it stops syncing.

Connect Bullhorn

You’ll need four things from Bullhorn first: Client ID, Client Secret, API Username, and API Password.

1. Go to Settings → Integrations and open Bullhorn.
2. On the Connection tab, type in the Client ID, Client Secret, API Username, and API Password.
3. Click Authenticate with Bullhorn.
4. Log in at Bullhorn when it asks, then you’ll come back to Bilflo.
5. You should see ✓ Connection Established.

Then finish the rest of the Connection tab so syncing actually does something:

• Required Settings — pick the default time collection methods for W2 and 1099 jobs.
• Placement Types and Statuses — type these to match Bullhorn exactly (no extra spaces).
• Data Mapping — match your existing people, clients, and jobs so you don’t get duplicates.

How to know it’s working: the Last sync time on the Connection Status card updates about once a minute.

Fix it when it stops syncing

The sign something’s wrong: the Last sync time stops moving, and new Bullhorn placements or status changes stop showing up in Bilflo — even if it still says “Connection Established.”

The fix (works almost every time):

1. Open Settings → Integrations → Bullhorn → Connection.
2. Make sure Pause Bullhorn Syncing is not checked.
3. Click Authenticate with Bullhorn again.
   • You don’t need to re-enter anything.
   • You don’t need to click Revoke Access.
   • Your placement types, statuses, and mappings are all kept.
4. Wait 1–2 minutes and refresh. Last sync should start moving again.

If that doesn’t fix it, check these:

• Is Pause Bullhorn Syncing unchecked?
• Did anything change in Bullhorn — the API user’s password, the Client ID, or the Client Secret? If so, update those fields on the Connection tab first, then click Authenticate with Bullhorn.
• Did changes happen in Bullhorn while it was disconnected? Those may not come over on their own. Make a small edit to that placement in Bullhorn (or re-save its status) so it syncs again.
• Still stuck? Contact support and tell them roughly when Last sync stopped and whether any Bullhorn login details changed.

Tip: Don’t use Revoke Access just because it stopped syncing — that disconnects everything and makes you set it all up again. Re-authenticating (the steps above) is faster and keeps your settings.
