Using the Gmail Add-On

The Bullhorn for Gmail Add-On lets you manage Bullhorn tasks directly from Gmail without leaving your inbox. You can create candidates, add tasks and notes, attach files, and open existing records, all while reading an email.

To use the Gmail Add-On, you need to be logged into both Gmail and Bullhorn in the same browser. If you haven't installed the add-on yet, see Enabling the Gmail Add-On.

Log In to the Add-On

  1. In the same browser, log into Bullhorn.

  2. Open an email in Gmail and click the Bullhorn for Gmail Add-On (it appears in the right sidebar).

  3. Click the Login button.

You're now logged in with your Bullhorn credentials. The add-on is ready to use.

Log Out

Click the menu icon (three dots) and select Logout.

Add a Record

Click the + button to create a new candidate from the email sender's information.

Create a Task

  1. Click the menu icon (three dots).

  2. Select Create Task.

The task is created in Bullhorn and linked to the email sender.

Create a Note

  1. Click the menu icon (three dots).

  2. Select Create Note.

The note is created in Bullhorn and linked to the email sender.

Attach a File to a Record

  1. Click on the attachment in the email.

  2. Click Attach.

The file is uploaded and attached to the relevant Bullhorn record.

Open a Record

  1. Click the menu icon (three dots).

  2. Select Open in Bullhorn.

The record opens in a new tab.

View Social Media Profiles

Click the social media icon (LinkedIn, Twitter, etc.) to open the contact's public profile. Only profiles that are publicly visible will open—private or restricted profiles won't be accessible from the add-on, even if you're connected with the person.

Troubleshooting

Add-On Selects the Wrong Email

By default, the add-on selects the most recent email in a conversation thread. If you want to work with a specific email instead, turn off Conversation View in your Gmail settings: go to Settings > toggle Conversation View to Off. This lets you use the add-on with any individual email.

Links are Opening in Multiple Windows

If you're using Chrome and links from the add-on are opening in multiple windows instead of the same window, adjust your Chrome pop-up settings to allow Bullhorn links to open as expected.

  1. Click the Menu icon (three dots) in the upper-right corner of Chrome and select Settings.

  2. Scroll to the bottom and click Show advanced settings.

  3. Under Privacy and security, click Site settings.

  4. Click Pop-ups and redirects.

  5. Look for any URLs containing "bullhornstaffing.com" in the Allow list and remove them by clicking the X icon next to each one.

  6. Close the Settings page.

Links from the add-on should now open in the same window.
