Using SMS Timesheets

SMS Timesheets allows Placements to record and submit their hours through SMS text message. AI then parses the information into the appropriate Bullhorn Time & Expense timesheet. This gives Placements a quick and easy way to submit their weekly hours and supports Admins by reducing the manual effort it takes to chase and enter time.

Coming Soon: The following Amplify feature in BTE is coming soon. Contact your Bullhorn Account Manager to get on the Early Access list.

Your agency must enable you to use this feature. If you are not enabled to use SMS Timesheets you will receive an error message.

Follow the steps below to use SMS Timesheets to submit your time.

  1. Text "Start <employee Last Name>" to 229-526-1968. For example, "Start Jones".
