Bottom line
Candidately is an AI layer on staffing ATS systems, especially Bullhorn. The only published price is AI Resume Builder at $1 per exported resume. Client Portal and the other products are custom priced.
Stands out for: Client Portal replaces email threads with branded candidate profiles, magic links, live client chat, and AI recruiter notes. Pricing is not tied to the agency's Bullhorn seat count.
Watch out for: All plans are billed annually. Client Portal, Talent Marketplace, Candidate Search AI and Job Board are custom priced. Resume Builder is $1 per exported resume.
Overview
Candidately sits on top of staffing ATS tools (Bullhorn is the named core) and adds a client portal, AI resume builder, candidate search, and an optional talent marketplace. Recruiters turn raw CVs into branded profiles and send magic links instead of PDF piles.
AI Resume Builder is $1 per exported resume, with unlimited users and a free start with no card. Client Portal, Talent Marketplace, Candidate Search AI and Job Board are custom priced and billed annually. Y Combinator and Bullhorn Ventures are backers.
