JobDiva vs Bullhorn Pricing and AI Screening

Short answer: Bullhorn is the only one of the two with a price you can read before a sales call, $99 per user a month on Starter and $165 on Core. JobDiva publishes no price at all and sells one in-house platform that runs from applicant tracking through timesheets, billing and its own VMS. Neither one publishes what it costs to have every inbound applicant read and ranked. JobDiva's AI has no printed rate, and Bullhorn's agentic screening sits on the quote-only Max plan.

Both products are systems of record for a staffing agency, which is why they end up on the same shortlist. The figures and feature claims below were read from jobdiva.com and bullhorn.com/pricing, checked October 7, 2026. Where a number comes from a third-party listing, the text says so and does not present it as the vendor's price.

How much do JobDiva and Bullhorn cost?

JobDiva does not say. Checked October 7, 2026, jobdiva.com/pricing returns a 404, and the site shows no plan names, no per-user rate and no trial. Software Advice lists "Pricing available upon request", Capterra says to contact the vendor, SaaSworthy says custom pricing and Vendr's marketplace listing shows no price data. Aggregator pages circulate ranges of $80 to $250 per user a month with no source behind them. Those are unsourced estimates, not JobDiva figures, and we do not treat them as prices. Our JobDiva pricing page separates what the vendor states from what is guessed.

Bullhorn prints two of its four small-agency rates. Starter is $99 per user a month and covers applicant tracking, resume parsing, client management, job posting with a career portal and support. Core is $165 and adds a marketplace of more than 300 partners, custom fields and workflows, LinkedIn integrations and an email sidebar. Pro and Max both say "Talk to us". The plans for larger agencies, Front Office Growth, Front Office Enterprise and Bullhorn One, are quote-only, and so are the add-ons. The Bullhorn pricing breakdown walks through every tier.

Team	Bullhorn Starter	Bullhorn Core	JobDiva
5 recruiters	$495 a month, $5,940 a year	$825 a month, $9,900 a year	Quoted
10 recruiters	$990 a month, $11,880 a year	$1,650 a month, $19,800 a year	Quoted
25 recruiters	$2,475 a month, $29,700 a year	$4,125 a month, $49,500 a year	Quoted

Those totals do not include Amplify AI, agentic screening, timesheets or billing, because none of those are in Starter or Core.

Is JobDiva cheaper than Bullhorn?

Nobody can answer that from published information. What you can do is make the two quotes comparable, because the products draw their boundaries in different places.

A JobDiva quote is for one product. Its own FAQ lists applicant tracking, client CRM, job management workflow, a careers portal, a job board resume harvester, VMS job spidering, timekeeping and billing, and a VMS and MSP system, and says "All these components have been developed by JobDiva as an integral part of the one JobDiva solution." A Bullhorn Starter or Core seat is front office only. Timesheet management, time interpretation, invoicing and pay and bill automation arrive with Bullhorn One, which is quote-only.

So a fair comparison is JobDiva's quote against a Bullhorn quote that includes the back office and the AI tier you were shown in the demo, not against $99. Ask both for the per-user rate, the seat minimum, the implementation fee and the renewal uplift in writing. The same exercise against another staffing platform is in our Ceipal vs Bullhorn comparison.

Which one screens applicants with AI?

JobDiva's strength is search on the database you already own. It holds a patent on "Search Skills by Relevant Years of Experience", and its ATS page says recruiters "see suggested matches immediately" and then narrow them with that search. This is recruiter-run search and match, not a published score for each new applicant with written reasons. Its AI page says the R&D team uses large language models, naming OpenAI and Google Gemini,, and describes resume summaries, email templates, chatbots, sentiment analysis and data extraction as rolling out. No price or metering for AI is published.

Bullhorn is clearer about where the AI sits. Amplify AI starts on Pro and covers AI search and match, Amplify Chat, data enrichment, process automation, resume formatting and call transcription. Agentic workflows, including agentic screening and agentic AI matching, are on Max only. Our guide to Bullhorn Amplify pricing covers what each tier adds.

Capability	JobDiva	Bullhorn
Search and match on your database	Patented search by relevant years of experience, with suggested matches shown to the recruiter	AI search and match in Amplify AI, from Pro
Screening inbound applicants	DivaVMS matching tool scans incoming resumes against job requirements. e-interview scores exams and questionnaires	Agentic screening, Max only
Chatbot	DivaChat answers placed contractors and new hires	Amplify Chat from Pro, website chatbot on Max
Outreach automation	DivaReach sends automated emails, texts and tasks	Process automation from Pro, multi-step AI outreach on Max
Per-applicant score with written reasons	Not published	Not described on the pricing page
Price of the AI	Not published	Not published. Pro and Max say "Talk to us"

What does each platform cover after the placement?

JobDiva covers more in one contract. Its native back office handles timesheets, billing and contract and SOW projects, and it adds more than 1,000 reports, a mobile app, a white-label applicant app and a timesheet app. Support is by email or phone for all users.

Bullhorn covers it through tiers and partners. Core opens the marketplace of more than 300 partners, and Bullhorn One brings pay and bill in house.

Neither back office covers every obligation of an agency that places contractors at client sites. Clients and VMS programs ask the agency for current certificates of insurance, and tracking certificates of insurance is not listed among the back office features of either platform, so plan for it separately.

Which is better for VMS and MSP staffing?

JobDiva, on published scope. VMS job spidering pulls requisitions from vendor management systems into the ATS. For agencies that run programs themselves, DivaVMS is JobDiva's own vendor management system for supplier-neutral MSP programs, pitched as "deploy in days, not months". Bullhorn lists VMS Automation as a quote-only add-on, so its VMS coverage depends on what your quote includes.

Who should pick JobDiva and who should pick Bullhorn?

Your situation	Better fit	Why
5 to 10 recruiters, direct clients, need a number today	Bullhorn Starter or Core	$99 or $165 per user a month is printed, with free implementation listed
Contract staffing with timesheets and billing in the same system	JobDiva	The back office is native. On Bullhorn it means Bullhorn One, quote-only
Most orders arrive through client VMS portals, or you run MSP programs	JobDiva	VMS job spidering and DivaVMS are part of the product
The pain is hundreds of unread applicants per job	Either, with a screening layer beside it	Neither publishes a price for reading and ranking every applicant

What if the real problem is the applicant pile?

Many agencies comparing these two already have a system that holds candidates fine. What they lack is the hours to read every application before the client's deadline. Changing the system of record does not fix that, and on both vendors screening is the part you cannot price before a call.

Prescreener does that one job and runs beside Bullhorn, JobDiva or any other ATS. It reads every inbound resume, applies your knockout rules the same way to every applicant, scores role-fit with the written evidence behind each score and ranks the pile so recruiters open the strongest matches first. A recruiter makes every decision, and it never auto-rejects anyone. There is no seat pricing. Plans are $199, $499 and $1,290 a month, or $99, $249 and $645 a month billed yearly, and Starter reads and ranks up to 1,000 applicants a month. The numbers are on the Prescreener pricing page.

For the agency workflow, see resume screening for staffing agencies. If you are already on Bullhorn, our page on AI screening beside Bullhorn shows where a screening-first tool fits without replacing the ATS.

JobDiva vs Bullhorn frequently asked questions

Is JobDiva cheaper than Bullhorn?

Nobody can say from published prices. Bullhorn prints $99 per user a month for Starter and $165 for Core, while JobDiva publishes no price and quotes every customer. JobDiva's quote also covers timesheets and billing, which Bullhorn sells in the quote-only Bullhorn One, so compare quotes for the same scope.

How much does JobDiva cost per user?

JobDiva does not publish a per-user price. Its site has no pricing page, and Software Advice, a third-party listing, shows pricing available upon request. Ranges of $80 to $250 per user a month that circulate on aggregator pages carry no source and are not JobDiva figures. The only real number is a quote.

Does JobDiva have AI?

Yes. JobDiva says its R&D team uses large language models, naming OpenAI and Google Gemini, alongside its own models. It describes resume summaries, email templates, chatbots, sentiment analysis and data extraction as rolling out, plus the DivaChat chatbot and a patented skills search. It publishes no price or metering for any of it.

Does Bullhorn include AI screening?

Not on its two printed prices. Starter at $99 and Core at $165 per user a month carry no AI screening. Amplify AI, including AI search and match, starts on Pro, and agentic screening is listed on Max only. Both tiers say "Talk to us", so the screening price comes from a quote.

Which is better for VMS and MSP staffing, JobDiva or Bullhorn?

JobDiva, on published scope. It includes VMS job spidering that pulls requisitions from vendor management systems and sells DivaVMS, its own system for supplier-neutral MSP programs, inside one in-house product. Bullhorn lists VMS Automation as a quote-only add-on, so its VMS coverage depends on what your quote includes.
