Bullhorn is working to restore its staffing software after disabling platform access to contain a cyberattack, BleepingComputer reported. The company says it has eradicated the immediate threat and is conducting security reviews with CrowdStrike specialists.

Major outages affect its recruitment management, automation, back-office and talent services. Bullhorn says it serves more than 10,000 customers worldwide and has not determined whether customer data was exfiltrated.

Users who do not use single sign-on must reset passwords on their next login, and API passwords require rotation to protect integrations. Customers can request data exports through support while services remain disrupted; Bullhorn has given no restoration timeline.
