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.
