Can Claude search our Bullhorn database for candidates?

Yes, Helm can set Claude up to search and summarise candidates already in Bullhorn, which helps consultants find people before advertising. Final shortlists should still be checked by a consultant.

Does Claude change records in Bullhorn?

Only if you want it to. Helm usually starts agencies on read only access, and any updates are kept to clearly defined tasks a consultant confirms.

Is it safe to connect Bullhorn to Claude?

Yes, when it's set up properly. Helm agrees with you what Claude can see and do, uses the narrowest permissions Bullhorn allows, and keeps everything under your own accounts.

Does this work with ChatGPT or Microsoft Copilot?

Often, yes. Most modern connections use MCP, an open standard that ChatGPT and Copilot Studio also support. We'll confirm what's possible for Bullhorn on the call.

Can Claude connect to Bullhorn?

Yes. Bullhorn doesn't have an official Claude connector yet, but Helm connects it for you, securely and with only the access you approve.
