Looking for the best Bullhorn alternative?

Firefish is the perfect solution for recruitment agencies that need a genuine all-in-one recruitment CRM, rather than just a  database with extra plugins at significant cost.

Ok, let's cover the basics:

Bullhorn offers standard recruitment CRM functionalities.

While Bullhorn is a great database solution, its marketplace integration strategy means that it lacks many native features. As a result, agencies have to buy several add-on packages and tools, meaning it is much more expensive than Firefish.

With Firefish, you'll get:

  • Real-time Reporting: Take the guesswork out of growth and build your business on real-time insights.
  • Single Source of Truth: Unite your recruitment teams around a single source of truth when all funnels lead to Firefish.
  • UK Support: Our team of ex-recruiters are on-hand to resolve your queries whenever your agency needs them.
  • Fixed Pricing: No annual price increases built into your contract.
