PaidIndustry-leading ATS and CRM built specifically for staffing and recruitment agencies.
What is Bullhorn?
Bullhorn is the most widely used ATS and CRM in the staffing industry, holding roughly 40 percent of the agency market. Its defining strength is that candidates and clients live in the same system, so recruiters and salespeople work from one record set across job orders, placements and billing. It offers deep temp and contract functionality including VMS integration and back-office time and billing, plus the largest integration marketplace in the category.
The published price is the floor, not the figure. Starter runs about $99 per user monthly and Core about $165, but the sales CRM sits on a quote-only tier and automation, analytics, AI search, SMS and onboarding are separately licensed products. Agencies report realistic all-in costs well above the sticker once implementation, data migration and annual uplifts are counted. Below roughly 50 users, lighter agency platforms usually deliver comparable core functionality for less.
