Where they pull apart

BrightHire

Stands out: Interview recordings and coaching attached to the candidate record in the ATS.

Watch out: No published price, and it needs an ATS underneath it.

Not the right fit for

  • Small businesses with no ATS
  • High-volume hourly chat screening

CoRecruit

Stands out: Native write-back into Bullhorn, Vincere, Crelate and Loxo, which most note-takers ignore.

Watch out: It is a note-taker, not an ATS, and it needs one of those systems underneath.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house teams on corporate trackers only
  • Buyers who need a published price
