Compiled from Bullhorn's public product pages, documentation and pricing. Last reviewed August 2026. Spotted something out of date? Tell us and we'll fix it.
Every record coded for your niche on arrival, so lists, matches and BD targets come from a market model, not keyword search.
Send the export from Bullhorn; we clean, dedupe and code it, and you review a sample before go-live. No weekend of CSV wrangling.
Cross-tenant isolation attacked by 20 automated probes before every deploy, encrypted credentials, and a public security page that names the mechanisms.
That's exactly who it's built for. Bullhorn earns its keep in high-volume staffing with ops teams; SearchOS is built for permanent and retained search desks of one to twenty, where nobody has time to be a systems administrator. Everything in the table above ships included. There is no add-on marketplace because there are no add-ons.
Send us your export (or we'll help you get it). We clean it, dedupe it, code every record for your market, and hand back a working desk: candidates, clients, notes and files. You review a sample before anything goes live.
Our pricing is public. See the pricing page, including the Founding 100 rate. Bullhorn is quote-only, so the honest comparison is: ask them for the all-in number including the add-ons you'd actually use, then compare that to one figure that includes everything.
The comparison that matters is a week of your real work. Free trial, no card, and your data comes in coded, not dumped.
