Able, now operating as a key component of the Bullhorn Talent Platform, began its journey as EmployStream, an entity born from the direct experience of a Cleveland-based staffing agency. This origin provided the foundational team with a deep understanding of the complex challenges tied to onboarding a high volume of employees. In August 2020, following a $7 million funding round, the company rebranded from EmployStream to Able, sharpening its focus on simplifying and automating the processes that delay a new hire's start date. The firm was subsequently acquired by Bullhorn, a major player in software for the staffing industry.
The company's core business revolves around a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform designed to automate and streamline the entire candidate onboarding process, primarily serving the staffing and recruiting industry. Its clients range from large global staffing agencies to companies in sectors like healthcare that require high-volume hiring. The business model centers on providing this technology to firms, enabling them to hire significantly faster and at a lower cost.
The platform is a cloud-based, mobile-first solution that consolidates all onboarding activities into a single portal for the candidate. Key features include configurable workflows that can be tailored to specific job roles, automated task reminders sent via email and text, and straightforward management of compliance documents like e-signatures, I-9s, and E-Verify. A significant selling point is its ability to integrate with existing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, such as Avionté and Bullhorn, which ensures data flows seamlessly and maintains a single source of truth for candidate records. This automation gives recruiters back a substantial amount of time, allowing them to concentrate on sourcing and placing talent rather than administrative tasks.
