The short answer

  • TempWorks : The system most Aqore reviewers switched from: also ATS, payroll and tax in one system, with a longer track record and more outside reviews. From Sales-quoted
  • Avionté : Usually on the same shortlist; one Aqore reviewer picked Aqore because Avionté's back office ran as a separate system. From Sales-quoted
  • Bullhorn : The default agency front office if you want a large integration marketplace and can run payroll elsewhere. From $99/user/mo

Why people look past Aqore

No published price. Outside reviews are thin (seven on Capterra, all vendor invited), and reviewers mention reporting gaps that needed custom reports, a clunky advanced search and some settings resetting after major updates.

What we noted

  • No published price
  • Few outside reviews, all vendor invited
  • No MCP

Not the right fit for

  • Corporate in-house talent teams
  • Search firms with no payroll to run
  • Teams that want self-serve pricing

Worth keeping in mind: Front and back office really are one system, ATS through payroll, invoicing, AP and AR, plus ZenTime, a tablet time clock that keeps taking punches offline at job sites and resolves split shifts, duplicate SSNs and overlapping assignments before payroll. Several of its reviewers moved over from TempWorks for that combination and for the support.

What each one does differently

TempWorks

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: The system most Aqore reviewers switched from: also ATS, payroll and tax in one system, with a longer track record and more outside reviews.

Stands out: The back office goes further than most staffing ATSs: payroll processing, W-2 and ACA forms, tax services and payroll funding through Lone Oak Payroll can all come from TempWorks itself.

Watch out: No published price, and the product is shaped around US temp payroll, so it is the wrong fit for corporate talent teams or search firms with no payroll to run.

Best for

  • US temporary staffing agencies
  • Agencies that want payroll and billing in house
  • High volume temp placement desks

Avionté

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Usually on the same shortlist; one Aqore reviewer picked Aqore because Avionté's back office ran as a separate system.

Stands out: Payroll and compliance sit next to the staffing ATS rather than as afterthoughts.

Watch out: No published price, and it is the wrong shape for a corporate talent team.

Best for

  • US staffing firms
  • Desks that need tracking plus payroll
  • Compliance-heavy staffing operations

3.9 on Capterra from 168 reviews

Bullhorn

$99/user/mo API

Why it comes up: The default agency front office if you want a large integration marketplace and can run payroll elsewhere.

Stands out: Staffing CRM plus a marketplace of more than 300 partners on Core.

Watch out: Only the two small-agency tiers are published. AI, automation and analytics all sit behind a quote.

Best for

  • Staffing agencies
  • Desks that need client management next to jobs
  • Firms that live on the Bullhorn marketplace
