Bullhorn review

Bullhorn is the most complete platform here, and its pricing page shows how far it stretches. For small agencies, Starter at $99 per user per month covers applicant tracking, resume parsing, client management and job posting with a career portal, with free implementation. Core at $165 adds the 300+ partner marketplace, custom fields and workflows, LinkedIn Recruiter System Connect and Apply Connect, and an email sidebar. The recruitment CRM sales pipeline, AI search and match, the Amplify Chat staffing model, call transcription and a dedicated account manager arrive on Pro, which is priced by quote, and Max adds AI Digital Workers that screen, match and run outreach. Larger agencies can move to Front Office plans with SMS, interview scheduling and forecasting, or Bullhorn One, which adds timesheets, invoicing and pay and bill automation. The breadth is real, but buyers who want a client pipeline will need a quote rather than the listed prices.

Who it is for

Staffing agencies that expect to grow into pay and bill, a large integration marketplace or AI automation.
