OVERVIEW

Connecting HubSpot and Bullhorn to Power a Smarter Sales & Marketing Engine

This staffing agency partnered with ManoByte to onboard HubSpot and integrate it with Bullhorn — their applicant tracking system (ATS). With no native integration available between the two platforms, the agency needed a custom-built solution to sync contact, job, and communication data. ManoByte delivered a fully tailored onboarding, integration, and enablement experience — driving immediate results in visibility, automation, and operational efficiency.

Technology Stack and Integrations
  • HubSpot Sales Hub
  • HubSpot Marketing Hub
  • HubSpot Operations Hub
  • Bullhorn ATS
  • Tray.io

Challenge

The company faced several operational roadblocks:

HubSpot and Bullhorn lacked a prebuilt connector like those available for Salesforce or G Suite.

Contact and job information had to be managed manually in both systems.

Sales and marketing teams couldn’t scale outreach or personalize job promotion.

Prior tools were either misconfigured or under-adopted, reducing ROI.
