Considered Both Products
Brightmove
Chose Brightmove
Brightmove does all we need from a resume database and ATS and job board posting perspective compared to Zoho Recruit. When we initially started with BM, it was a more cost-effective and simple solution...which is why we chose Brightmove. Ironically, now we are looking at the …
Chose Brightmove
It isn't even remotely close how much better Brightmove is compared to PCRecruiter. PCRecruiter is living in the early 90s, while Brightmove has brought recruiting and ATS software into 2018. Highly recommend it.
Chose Brightmove
More affordable, easier to learn, more included features, best resume parser. Job board is very easy and yields good candidates.
Chose Brightmove
Brightmove seems to be pretty similar to Vurv, but overall the functionality of the other systems I have used has been better. I didn't select to implement Brightmove, it was already in place when I joined the company.
Chose Brightmove
I have only used one other system - it was antiquated and could not hold a candle to Brightmove.
Chose Brightmove
Brightmove is visually appealing and easy to use. It has great functionality when it comes to looking at the candidate page, job page, or a dashboard that is fully customizable. Brightmove makes it easy to post jobs to internal sites and external sites. It does lack on the …
Chose Brightmove
I greatly prefer Bullhorn over Brightmove. The email functions offered through Bullhorn are exceptional, tracking candidates is a breeze, and uploading resumes to specific job orders is a snap.

Chose Recruit CRM
It's crucial for every recruiting team to measure KPIs and performance metrics, and Recruit CRM makes reporting more detailed than ever. You can generate the following reports using the ATS + CRM: Team performance. Candidate lifecycle.A recruiting tech stack is a collection of …
Chose Recruit CRM
We selected this tool because it was easy to set up and use, and the customer support team is super helpful.
Chose Recruit CRM
We evaluated about 3-5 different vendors. The low barrier to entry made it an easy target to test out. Forcing an upfront annual fee was not in our interest without extensively testing the product. We also had a very basic requirement - an easy way to intake a large number …
Chose Recruit CRM
Every system has its pros and cons I believe that RCRM is very similar to Smartsearch.
Chose Recruit CRM
Recruit CRM has a better workflow and is easier to use than AkkenCloud. Akkencloud is more suited for Temp Agency. Bullhorn in my opinion is too complex and more suited for larger organizations. Recruit CRM in my opinion is the best ATS on the market and the Customer service …
Chose Recruit CRM
We use several different systems among all of our clients. We used Zoho Recruit ourselves for many years. We have found RCRM to be MUCH more user friendly and customizable. I can't speak on the customer service for the other systems, but Zoho customer service was awful. …
Chose Recruit CRM
Better functionality
Nicer people
Competitively priced
Chose Recruit CRM
I have not used very many other options, but we were drawn to this software because it was very visual and intuitive and would definitely reduce training time.
Chose Recruit CRM
Recruit CRM is our go-to tool for anything in the hiring process.
Chose Recruit CRM
It is a great tool because they are constantly updating things and creating more functionality.

User Testimonials
BrightmoveRecruit CRM
Likelihood to Recommend
Brightmove is well suited to a large active team of recruiters. It is too expensive to be good for a smaller shop, especially if there are several users. If you are considering this product, I recommend that you ask about upgrades and improvements, "up time", what the service response is like, what new interfaces they are planning, what will be included in the next release, and how that new release will be communicated in advance

Recruit CRM is would make a great choice if you are looking for a CRM/ATS partner. Their training and support make it impossible to not have the tools necessary for success from the first sign-on. They continue to improve their product by soliciting direct feedback and suggested features from users. Their customer support is live 24-7 and the response time for any questions or issues is outstanding which is critical for a company with employees in different time zones or one without on-site technical support.

Cons
  • Brightmove could offer more detailed and user friendly reports.
  • Brightmove could add more screening questions to applicants when they are applying to a job. The feature that is already there is not really useful.
  • Brightmove needs to separate internal applicants from external applicants.
Read full review
  • They are adding a lot of features all the time which can be annoying
  • They are usually catching up with features that other programs have rather than being more innovative
  • Other than this, I do not really have any complaints about this software

Brightmove has worked well as we are a company with 120 employees. For as long as we stay around this size, we will continue with Brightmove, but as we grow we will start looking for an ATS that can directly tie into our CRM (NetSuite). The price point is great for the functionality when compared to other ATS solutions

There is always room for improvement and I believe RCRM is a great system that is adapting to what it's users want and need. The system suits our needs and is a huge improvement from our previous system. I can't say enough good things about the customer service. They have great follow up and always get back to me within the same day. If there is ever an unknown, there is a timeline given for follow up and a promise to get it resolved. They always come through. It's important to have a team behind your software that listens and adapts.

Support Rating
The Customer Support is the best part of using this ATS vs others. They have a chat feature on the home page where you can ask a question and have a Customer Service rep help you in less than a minute. I have found that to be invaluable and a life saver on several occasions. I'm not sure you get that kind of service from a bigger ATS provider.

Again, the customer service team is awesome. They always respond in the same day and have resolved any issue I have ever had. They have made improvements to the system on a weekly basis, always improving for their users. There is a forum where you can leave your feature suggestions and vote on ones left by other users. The reps will jump on a call or screen share with you if you need to be walked through anything. They go above and beyond.

Return on Investment
  • Positive ROI in terms of time spent by our recruiting team. Our old ATS was clunky and forced users to spend more time on mundane tasks.
  • Positive ROI in terms of connecting without outside job boards and finding job candidates.
  • Positive ROI in terms of motivating our team by seeing their numbers in an easy to understand/read dashboard.
Read full review
  • Huge Impact on ROI (This is going from having no ATS to having an ATS)
  • Allowed us to focus more work on our user experiences rather than building our own tool to manage recruitment operations
  • Has allowed us to maintain a relatively low cost in our tooling
