Today, Bullhorn acquired KonaSearch (“Kona”), a BasisTech portfolio company based in Massachusetts that offers an AI-powered search and match solution for staffing, recruiting, and executive search businesses on the Salesforce platform.
Staffing, recruiting, and executive search businesses need access to deep, comprehensive historical data on job histories and career achievements. Kona’s powerful, easy-to-use, cross-entity, and deep-text search matches against this kind of data, specifically for the Salesforce platform. Acquiring Kona provides Bullhorn with expertise and technology to support faster, higher-quality placements for its customers on the Salesforce platform.
Through partnerships with 10,000 customers globally, including nearly 1,000 clients on the Salesforce platform, Bullhorn is a global top 10 Salesforce ISV partner and the largest Salesforce partner for the recruitment industry. Bullhorn has built a vast knowledge base of recruitment best practices and deep domain expertise to help firms scale their businesses. This acquisition is Bullhorn’s latest investment to help accelerate its AI sourcing strategy and underscores the company’s strong commitment to both the Salesforce platform and the executive search market.
