The short answer

  • JobAdder : JobAdder is typically sold per user, while RecruitOnline sells unlimited users and adds labor-hire rostering in one fee. From Quote-based
  • Bullhorn : Bullhorn is a global staffing suite, while RecruitOnline is a smaller ANZ product with a published flat fee and shift compliance. From $99/user/mo

Why people look past RecruitOnline

Beyond the allowances, each extra booked person costs $5, each chatbot conversation $0.15 and each video interview $2.50. Enterprise terms for multi-brand groups, including per-seat options and a 99.9% uptime SLA, are quoted.

What we noted

  • Usage charges beyond included allowances
  • Prices differ across US, AU and NZ
  • Enterprise multi-brand terms are quoted

Not the right fit for

  • In-house HR teams needing HRIS and payroll
  • Agencies that want no usage-based charges
  • Multi-brand groups wanting list prices

Worth keeping in mind: The flat fee covers unlimited users plus 30 people in bookings, 300 RecruitChatBot conversations and 50 completed video interviews a month. Rostering blocks candidates with expired tickets from shifts, aimed at labor hire and healthcare.
