Herefish Co-Founder Jason Heilman to Lead Bullhorn’s Artificial Intelligence Business Unit
Summary
Heilman was founder and CEO of Herefish, a staffing business process automation provider that was acquired by Bullhorn in January of 2020. Digital transformation, once a desirable goal of forward-looking businesses seeking to solidify their competitive advantage, has become all but mandatory as a means of helping staffing firms to navigate major experiential shifts. These include 1) candidates need for simplicity and responsiveness, and their desire to embrace platforms that help them find work but maintain a human touch; 2) grappling with increasingly challenging demands from clients, including the need for time savings, cost efficiency, and access to flexible talent pools at scale; and 3) a new industry landscape defined by a rise in mixed labor models (involving a combination of W2 and 1099 workers, sometimes simultaneously), broad-scale economic uncertainty favoring contingent work, and an increasingly distributed workforce. I can’t wait to see how Jason works his magic to transform the customer and candidate experience in staffing intelligently using the power of AI!” “We want to help firms drive an amazing experience for their candidates and customers, with the increased focus on a distributed workforce and technology as a means of enhancing productivity, now is an important time to introduce artificial intelligence to the staffing market.” said Jason Heilman. “We realize that in order for AI to be actually successful and adopted on a large scale, our customers need for it to be built on a foundation of automation and data hygiene.
