Bullhorn, the global leader in On Demand, front office staffing and recruiting software, today announced that its CEO and co-founder, Art Papas, has been named as a CEO of the Year category-finalist for the Mass Technology Leadership Council’s 2006 Mass Technology Leadership Awards.

The only awards program to recognize outstanding achievement in both the development and implementation of information technology, the Mass Technology Leadership Awards honor Massachusetts companies and individuals who best exemplify leadership and excellence in business and technology.

With more than 400 customers and 6,000 users, Bullhorn has exceeded growth expectations for 16 straight quarters and increased the number of its employees by 108% over the past year. Bullhorn was named the 10th fastest-growing private company in Massachusetts (Boston Business Journal, March 2006) and one of the state’s Best Places to Work (Boston Business Journal, April 2006).
As co-founder and CEO, Art Papas is responsible for leading Bullhorn’s operation and strategic initiatives. He is also Bullhorn’s technical leader and the principal architect of the Bullhorn Development Platform (BDP).
“The Mass Technology Leadership Council is committed to fostering entrepreneurship and promoting the success of companies that develop and deploy technology across industry sectors. These awards are an important part of this effort,” said Joyce Plotkin, president of the Mass Technology Leadership Council. “The finalists for this year’s honors represent the spirit of innovation, the history of accomplishment and the future promise that define the Massachusetts technology community.”
