Bullhorn pricing for staffing agencies
By Drippay, Inc.Published 8 min read
Bullhorn pricing is not one number. The current public page shows per-user prices for Starter and Core, while Pro, Max, Bullhorn One, and additional products route buyers to sales. The practical question is which staffing workflow the quote covers: ATS, recruiting CRM, job posting, automation, analytics, middle office, or the full operating stack.
This page uses Bullhorn’s own pricing and product pages checked October 6, 2026. It does not fill quote-only tiers with old review-site numbers. dreach is adjacent rather than a Bullhorn replacement. It helps the employer side of the business by flagging new openings at known clients, identifying the hiring manager, and showing the warmest way in. The firm works the outreach from its own accounts.
while you compare
dreach shows the client ledger.
Your team decides who to contact.
the short version
- Start with Starter if you need core applicant tracking, resume parsing, client management, job posting, and a career portal for a smaller agency.
- Choose Core if you need custom fields and workflows, LinkedIn integrations, email sidebar work, and a larger app marketplace around the ATS and CRM.
- Ask about Pro or Max if you need Bullhorn’s recruitment CRM, AI search and match, automation, analytics, or agentic workflows and can evaluate a quote.
- Ask about Bullhorn One if your staffing operation needs front, middle, and back-office workflows in one larger platform discussion.
- Consider dreach beside Bullhorn if the ATS is the system of record but client development is still missing live demand, manager names, and warm paths.
Current public Bullhorn prices
Bullhorn’s current pricing page lists Starter at $99 per user per month and Core at $165 per user per month. The same page presents Pro and Max with “Talk to us” rather than a public dollar price. It also routes larger agency and Bullhorn One discussions through sales. The page does not give a reliable public number for those quote-only products.
| Edition or scope | Public price | Published direction |
|---|---|---|
| Starter | $99 per user per month | Core ATS and CRM functions for a smaller agency |
| Core | $165 per user per month | More workflow, integration, and marketplace capability |
| Pro | Not published; talk to Bullhorn | Recruitment CRM, AI search and match, enrichment, automation, and analytics |
| Max | Not published; talk to Bullhorn | Agentic workflows and larger operating scope |
| Bullhorn One and additional products | Not published; quote required | Confirm the modules, seats, implementation, and support in the proposal |

What Starter and Core cover
Starter is the basic operating layer. Bullhorn lists applicant tracking, resume parsing, client management, job posting and a career portal, expert support, and free implementation. That is a sensible starting scope when the firm needs one system for candidates, jobs, and clients and does not yet need the higher automation package.
Core adds the features Bullhorn lists for custom fields and workflows, LinkedIn integrations, an email sidebar, and access to an app marketplace with more than 300 partners. Confirm which integrations are included, what requires a separate partner contract, and which workflows need implementation work.

What drives a Pro, Max, or Bullhorn One quote
Bullhorn’s pricing page lists Pro features such as a recruitment CRM, AI search and match, Amplify Chat, data enrichment, process automation, resume formatting, call transcription, and real-time analytics. Max adds agentic workflows. Neither tier has a public dollar amount on the page.
For a larger staffing operation, ask whether the quote is for the front-office ATS and CRM only or for Bullhorn One and related products. The applicant-tracking and CRM page describes candidate, job, client, workflow, integration, and reporting scope. A quote can change with seats, modules, data migration, implementation, support, and the middle or back office the firm needs.
- Number and type of users, including managers and back-office users.
- ATS, CRM, job board, messaging, analytics, and automation modules.
- Data migration, implementation hours, training, and support level.
- Marketplace partners and any separate partner subscription.
- Renewal terms, price changes, exports, and the cost of leaving.
The first-year quote checklist
Ask Bullhorn to show the first year in one table. Put seats, editions, modules, migration, implementation, training, integrations, usage limits, support, taxes, renewal terms, and any partner products on separate lines. “Free implementation” is shown for the smaller public tiers, but do not assume that a complex migration or a larger package has the same scope. Ask what free means in hours and deliverables.
Then run one real workflow before signing: take a job order from intake through shortlist, client update, placement, and reporting. Run a client-development sequence beside it. The ATS should own the record. It should not be expected to be the only system that finds new employer demand.

Where dreach fits beside Bullhorn
Bullhorn can be the ATS and CRM where the firm keeps candidates, jobs, clients, and activity. dreach covers a different part of the workflow. It watches past clients and selected employers for new openings, names the hiring manager with a current email and phone, and shows the warmest way in. The team decides the message and sends it from the firm’s own accounts.
That means dreach is not a Bullhorn alternative and does not replace the system of record. It is a client-development layer beside it. Pricing is not published. Scope, data access, and terms are confirmed for the firm before starting.

Use Starter or Core as the public price reference, then ask for a complete quote when Pro, Max, Bullhorn One, or extra modules enter the discussion. Score the real ATS workflow and the client-development workflow separately. Bullhorn can own the system of record. dreach can sit beside it and surface the employer demand worth working.
