Brightmove

🎯 Should you use Brightmove?

Buy if: You run a mid-size agency with 15-plus recruiters and need white-label ATS branding without Bullhorn pricing.

Skip if: You're a solo recruiter or need transparent pricing before committing to a sales call.

⚡ In practice

• ●Setup: 2-3 weeks with data migration, longer for multi-office agencies
• ●Resume parsing: Works but misses formatting on PDFs with columns
• ●Candidate matching: Basic keyword scoring, not true AI recommendation engine

⚠️ Where it breaks

• ●No published pricing means you waste a week on discovery calls before learning it costs $8k-$12k annually per seat.
• ●Reporting dashboard requires manual CSV exports for anything beyond surface-level metrics.

💸 Is it worth the money?

Pricing sits between Loxo ($60/month) and Bullhorn ($10k+ annually), but you won't know the exact number until after two sales meetings. For agencies billing $500k+ annually, the white-label branding justifies the cost if you're client-facing.

🆚 If not this

• ●Bullhorn -> Pay 20% more but get deeper integrations and actual enterprise support
• ●Loxo -> Skip the enterprise bloat, get transparent pricing at $60/seat/month for small teams

🎯 Final verdict

Viable for agencies that need ATS white-labeling, but opaque pricing and weak AI features make it a hard pass for solo recruiters.
