Applicant tracking system
BrightMove isn’t a bloated enterprise system built for teams with a dedicated IT department. It’s a lean, professional ATS a two-person or ten-person agency can run from day one, with no lengthy implementation cycle.
Applicant Tracking Built for Small Staffing Agencies
Purpose-built for small and independent staffing agencies: activate in days, manage every client from one login, and compete with enterprise firms without enterprise overhead. Plans start as low as $125/month, with optional add-ons as you grow.
Why small staffing agencies choose BrightMove
Job distribution
Post to Indeed, ZipRecruiter, Dice, and dozens of other boards through JobGorilla with one click, so a small team can reach the same candidate pool as a firm ten times its size.
Candidate communication
Engage SMS keeps candidates engaged without adding headcount, so a lean team can respond as fast as a large one.
Data-driven hiring decisions
Wiz Submittal Eval scores every candidate automatically the moment they are submitted, so a small team does not need a dedicated analyst to know who to submit first.
Brand management
Present a polished, branded experience to every client, even if your agency has just a handful of recruiters on staff.
Customer support
Small agencies rarely get a dedicated success manager at most ATS vendors. BrightMove gives every customer direct, human support regardless of size.
BrightMove Staffing ATS for Small Temp Agencies
Small temp agencies need to track temporary candidates, fill orders fast, and redeploy good workers without a large team. BrightMove gives a small temp desk the same tools a large agency uses, without an IT department.
