Work Tech: The Past, Present, and Future of Staffing and Staffing-Tech Host: George LaRocque, WorkTech Founder Guest: Art Papas, CEO and Founder, Bullhorn Bullhorn is the clear market leader for staffing tech. CEO and Founder Art Papas has been at the helm for 24 years. He’s led the company from its startup roots in South Boston to a global staffing industry powerhouse with offices and team members on several continents. In the early 2000s, when Bullhorn had just a handful of customers, Art was known to say “All roads lead to Bullhorn.” Seems like he’s paved the way for that to sound more like an observation of current staffing tech adoption than the goal it was back in the day. Art stopped by WorkTech to check in with Founder George LaRocque on the state of staffing and staffing tech, and to chime in on some of the trends George has been noticing in the market. The result, a conversation that quickly ties the past, present, and future of staffing and staffing tech. LaRocque sees tech-forward staffing firms tying into employer’s Work Tech stacks while providing a high level of service. Papas sees a relationship-driven industry that requires humans in the loop. In this conversation, you’ll learn about Bullhorn’s culture, leadership, and strategic view of the market and the trends that are shaping it. Thank you for joining the show today!
