Bullhorn
The agency ATS conversation.
From $99/user/mo API
Bottom line
The default agency ATS conversation: staffing CRM, automations and a large marketplace. Starter is published at $99/user/month, with everything above it quoted.
Stands out for: Staffing CRM plus a marketplace of more than 300 partners on Core.
Watch out for: Only the two small-agency tiers are published. AI, automation and analytics all sit behind a quote.
Overview
Bullhorn is the agency ATS conversation. Staffing CRM, automations and back-office links sit in one product that agency desks still orbit, and it is the ATS of record for many staffing firms. There is no MCP, though an API is available.
Teams pick Bullhorn when the marketplace and staffing shape matter more than a modern interface. Starter is $99 per user per month and Core $165, both aimed at small agencies and both excluding VAT. Pro, Max and the enterprise tiers are quoted, and that is where the CRM sales pipeline, AI search and automation live.
