Understanding Locations

Bullhorn’s Locations feature lets you create one or many Locations on Company records. Locations are defined as places associated with a Client, where company related business is transacted, such as work sites, bill to addresses, and send to addresses. Data flows from Locations to Jobs and Placements.

Benefits of Using Locations

Using Locations has multiple benefits:

Manage multiple offices or worksites for a single client.
Especially helpful for staffing companies with many locations (think parent/child relationships).
Improves data integrity.
Provides insight into past, present, and future client Locations.

Actions You Can Take on Locations

You must have the appropriate entitlements to add, delete or edit Locations and Location Versions. Contact Bullhorn Support to update your access.

The following actions can be taken on Locations:

Adding a Location: Add a new location to designate a new place associated with a client.
Adding a New Location Version: Locations may evolve over time. When a location changes, you can create a new version of the existing location that better suits your needs. This ensures you can update the location without changing any historical data with the associated Billing Profile, Jobs and/or Placements.
Deleting Location Versions: You can delete past Location Versions, but not Locations themselves. This helps to preserve data associated with Locations. You may need to delete a version if it was added by mistake.
Editing Locations: Locations can be edited, however you should only edit a Location if you do not need to preserve historical data associated with the original Location details. Otherwise create a new version.

Location Versions

If a Location needs to be updated, best practice is to create a new version instead of editing the original information.

Creating a new version of the existing location ensures you can update the location without changing any historical data with the associated Billing Profile, Jobs, and/or Placements.
