Bottom line

Candidately is an AI layer on staffing ATS systems, especially Bullhorn. Client Portal is listed at $99/month for the first user and $49/month per extra user, billed annually. AI Resume Builder is a separate usage line.

Stands out for: Client Portal replaces email threads with branded candidate profiles, magic links, live client chat, and AI recruiter notes. Pricing is not tied to the agency's Bullhorn seat count.

Watch out for: All plans are billed annually. Talent Marketplace and Candidate Search AI are talk-to-sales. Resume Builder is usage-priced (vendor pages also cite $1 per exported resume).

Overview

Candidately sits on top of staffing ATS tools (Bullhorn is the named core) and adds a client portal, AI resume builder, candidate search, and an optional talent marketplace. Recruiters turn raw CVs into branded profiles and send magic links instead of PDF piles.

Client Portal is $99/month with 1 user included and $49/month for each additional user, billed annually. Talent Marketplace and Candidate Search AI are sales-led. Resume Builder can be tried and is also described as $1 per exported resume. Y Combinator and Bullhorn Ventures are backers.
