Fields Linked Between Records

When you create a new record from an existing one, Bullhorn automatically copies certain fields to save time and maintain consistent data. The fields that carry over depend on the type of record you're creating.

Below are the fields that populate between Candidate, Contact, and Placement records.

Creating a Contact from a Candidate

When you add a Contact directly from a Candidate record, Bullhorn copies a set of personal and contact details. This helps keep information consistent when a candidate becomes a client contact.

Candidate fields that populate the new Contact:

Fields in the Candidate Record	Populate These Fields in the Contact Record
Owner	Owner
NamePrefix	NamePrefix
FirstName	FirstName
MiddleName	MiddleName
LastName	LastName
NameSuffix	NameSuffix
PreferredContact	PreferredContact
Occupation	Occupation
Address1	Address 1 & SecondaryAddress1
Address2	Address 2 & SecondaryAddress2
City	City & SecondaryCity
State	State & SecondaryState
Zip	Zip & SecondaryZip
CountryID	CountryID & SecondaryCountryID
WorkPhone	Phone
Phone	Phone2
Fax	Fax
Pager	Pager
Mobile	Mobile
ReferredByUserID	ReferredByUserID

 

Creating a Contact From a Placement

When creating a Contact from a Placement, Bullhorn pulls data from both the Candidate and the Job associated with the placement.

Because Placement records do not store job title or address information, those values come from the Job record.

Fields copied into the new Contact:
