Where they pull apart

Bullhorn

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.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house tech talent teams that want structured hiring
  • Teams that need MCP today

ChooseBloom

Stands out: Unlimited recruiter seats on every plan. You pay for company coverage, not headcount.

Watch out: Prices are in pounds and billed annually. Live CRM connections today are Firefish and Recruitly only.

Not the right fit for

  • US teams that need a dollar rate card
  • Agencies whose CRM is still on the roadmap
