OpenReqs vs Bullhorn

The ATS for staffing agencies who don't want to pay per seat

Bullhorn is the category leader for a reason — 10,000+ customers and 26 years of enterprise depth. But if you run a small-to-mid staffing agency, you're paying per seat for power you don't use. OpenReqs gives you the same daily-driver tools at one flat per-company rate.

The pricing difference, in dollars

Same 10-person team, very different bill.

Bullhorn
~$990/mo
10 recruiters × per-seat pricing

Every recruiter you add raises the bill. A 25-person team pays roughly 2.5× a 10-person team.

OpenReqs
$199/mo
Whole team, one flat rate

Grow from 5 to 25 recruiters and the price stays the same. One subscription per company.

Why teams switch to OpenReqs

The core ATS and staffing CRM tools, without the per-seat tax.

Per-company, not per-seat pricing

Bullhorn charges per user — a 10-person team pays around $990/mo. OpenReqs is one flat subscription ($199–$399/mo) for your whole team, no matter how many recruiters you add.

Add recruiters without the bill climbing

On a per-seat model, every new hire raises your monthly cost. On OpenReqs, growing your team from 5 to 25 recruiters costs the same — one rate for the company.

The core ATS/CRM tools staffing agencies use daily

Radius/zip-code job search, client profiles with submission steps and hiring guidelines, applicant pipeline tracking, and candidate sourcing with contact unlocks — in one place.

Risk-free to try

A 30-day money-back guarantee backs every plan. Not right for you in the first 30 days? Full refund, no questions asked.

When Bullhorn is still the right call

We're not here to pretend OpenReqs replaces Bullhorn for everyone. If you're a 50+ seat enterprise that needs advanced telephony, deep business-intelligence reporting, and a mature integration marketplace, Bullhorn's 26 years of category focus is hard to beat. OpenReqs is built for the small-to-mid staffing agency that wants the daily tools, flat pricing, and nothing it doesn't need.

Frequently asked questions

Is OpenReqs a good Bullhorn alternative for a small staffing agency?

If you run a small-to-mid team (roughly 1–25 recruiters) and you're paying per seat for tools you only half-use, yes. OpenReqs gives you the core ATS and staffing CRM — radius job search, client profiles, pipeline tracking, and candidate sourcing — for one flat per-company price. If you're a 50+ seat enterprise with complex phone and reporting needs, Bullhorn's maturity is still the safer call.

How does OpenReqs pricing compare to Bullhorn?

Bullhorn charges per seat — a 10-person team pays around $990/mo. OpenReqs charges one flat per-company subscription ($199–$399/mo) for your whole team, no matter how many recruiters you add. Same team, one rate.

Does OpenReqs have every feature Bullhorn has?

No. Bullhorn has 26 years of enterprise features we don't aim to match — advanced telephony, deep business intelligence, and a large integration marketplace. OpenReqs focuses on the tools small-to-mid staffing agencies use every day, without the per-seat tax or the enterprise complexity.
