Understanding Business Sectors / Industries

You use Business Sectors to designate different industries your company does business with, such as Automotive, Entertainment, or Energy.

On candidate records, business sectors indicate what industries the candidate has worked in or would like to work in. On company and contact records, business sectors indicate what industry the company does business in. Finally, on job records, business sectors indicate what industry the particular job is in. The default list of Business Sectors that Bullhorn provides is as follows:

  • Apparel
  • Automotive
  • Banking
  • Building & Construction
  • Business Services
  • Commercial Public Services
  • Distribution & Restaurants
  • Domestic Services
  • Fashion & Footwear
  • Finance
  • Healthcare & Pharmaceuticals
  • Industry & Agriculture
  • Law & Insurance
  • Media
  • Office Equipment
  • Others
  • Publishing & Production
  • Real Estate
  • Retail
  • Transports
  • Travel & Tourism

Using Business Sectors is optional; some companies prefer not to have business sectors and instead just use categories for the same purpose. Unlike categories, however, Administrators cannot add new or edit existing Business Sectors, Bullhorn Support must do this. Editing existing business sector names or adding new ones is unavailable on Team edition.
