What each one does differently

Avionté

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: US staffing ATS plus payroll if back office is the buying reason.

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

JobDiva

Quote-based API

Why it comes up: Staffing ATS plus vendor management for managed-programme desks.

Stands out: Vendor management and timesheets on a staffing ATS rather than a corporate tracker.

Watch out: The interface is not the selling point, and there is no published price.

Best for

High-volume staffing firms
Managed vendor programmes
Desks that need timesheets in the ATS

4.5 on Capterra from 1,185 reviews

Bullhorn

$99/user/mo API

Why it comes up: The agency ATS default if marketplace matters more.

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

Tracker RMS

$79/user/mo API

Why it comes up: Agency ATS and CRM with a published per-user price.

Stands out: A published per-user price for staffing front office plus reporting, rather than a quote.

Watch out: The entry plan is capped at around five users, so growing desks move up quickly.

Best for

Staffing firms wanting a published per-user price
Agency front office plus reporting
Desks comparing CATS and Recruit CRM
