Add an Existing Credential to an Account

Adding existing Bullhorn Web credentials to an account allows users with multiple accounts to combine all of their Bullhorn Web data for import into PCS version 2.5 or later.

There must be existing credentials associated with an account to be copied and added to another account. Refer to Add a New Credential for an Account for details on creating credentials.

The Active Customer IDs section of an account's Bullhorn API Setup page indicates which accounts are tied together.

Steps to Daisy Chain Multiple Bullhorn Accounts Together

You must perform the following steps to tie together data from multiple Bullhorn accounts successfully:

  • Create a new credential in the first account.

  • Copy and paste the API Client ID and API Client Secret from the first account into the Add Existing Credential prompt of the second account. Both accounts should be listed in the Active Customer IDs section when viewing the credential's API Client ID and API Client Secret.

  • Copy and paste the API Client ID and API Client Secret from the second account into the Add Existing Credential prompt of the third account. All three accounts should be listed in the Active Customer IDs section when viewing the credential's API Client ID and API Client Secret.

  • Repeat until all accounts are captured, rolling forward the API Client ID and API Client Secret from the most recently added account.
