Brightmove alternatives
If Brightmove is not the right fit, these are the products worth putting next to it, and the situation each one answers. Nothing here is ranked, and nothing is scored.
Applicant tracking built for staffing agencies, RPO providers and recruiting firms, priced by utilisation rather than by flat seat. Standard starts from $125 a month, the RPO add-on is $100 per recruiter seat, and the Back Office and Wizdom analytics modules each start from $499 a month, so the working configuration decides most of the bill.

Products a buyer would genuinely put next to Brightmove, with the reason you would pick each one instead. They are not ranked against each other. Last checked August 2026.
Choose JobAdder if you want an agency-capable ATS bought as a system rather than assembled from separately priced back-office and analytics modules.
Choose Bullhorn when the client and placement side of the desk is the main purchase and you need a staffing system of record with a much larger installed base.
Consider Crelate if you want to shape agency workflow around how your desk already runs, with per-seat pricing that is simpler to model than a module configurator.
