There is no single best ATS, and the ATS is only half the question. It is your system of record, and most do that job well. What decides how fast you fill roles is the work around it - reading orders, matching candidates, engaging them first. That is what AI agents do.
For most staffing agencies the best ATS is the one you already run. The real gap is not the database, it is the manual work around it. Globus.ai adds a team of AI agents on top of your existing ATS to read incoming orders, match and rank candidates with explained reasoning, and keep candidates engaged around the clock, with your recruiters in control through the Control Room.
A capable ATS is exactly that, capable. It stores candidates, tracks jobs and keeps your data in order - that is its job, and replacing it is rarely the answer. The question that actually moves your speed to fill is what handles the AI work on top of it.
| Capability | Traditional ATS | AI-agent platform (Globus.ai) |
|---|---|---|
| Job and order intake | Manual entry, forms or add-ons | Read and structured the moment they land, from email, portal or message |
| Candidate matching | Keyword and rules-based search | Explained AI matching - every shortlist comes with the why |
| Time to first shortlist | Hours of manual sourcing | Minutes |
| Candidate engagement | Sequences a recruiter starts | 24/7 engagement and re-engagement |
| Customer ordering | Phone and email, re-keyed by your team | Branded self-service portals - customers create requests themselves |
| After hours and weekends | Waits for the next shift | Always working |
| System of record | The ATS - that is its job | Your ATS stays the system of record |
| Human in control | via the Control Room |
Globus.ai works with the tools staffing agencies already run, including Bullhorn, Access, Teamtailor, RecMan, WebTemp and Salesforce. No data migration, no replatforming project.
Each agent owns a slice of the recruiting workday, from reading the order to engaging the candidate. They multiply what your recruiters can do, they never replace them.

What is the best ATS for staffing agencies?
For most agencies, the best ATS is the one your team already runs well - the bigger gap is the manual work around it. Choose an ATS for solid data, workflow fit and integrations, then add AI agents for order intake, matching and candidate engagement on top. That combination, not the database alone, is what decides how fast you fill roles.
What are AI agents for recruitment?
AI agents for recruitment are named digital colleagues that each own a step of the staffing workflow, working alongside your team rather than replacing it. At Globus.ai, Eira reads and structures incoming orders, Saga searches and matches candidates with the reasoning shown, Freja routes offers to the best-matched available candidates, Nora keeps candidates engaged, Viktor handles intake and screening, Ingrid tracks compliance, Magnus handles presentations and Arne data enrichment. Recruiters review and approve through the Control Room.
Is Globus.ai an ATS?
No. Globus.ai is not an ATS and not a rip-and-replace system. It is a team of named AI colleagues for staffing and recruitment agencies that runs on top of the existing ATS, which stays the system of record. Recruiters keep control via the Control Room.
Do we have to replace our ATS to use AI agents?
No. Globus.ai is designed to augment the system you already run, so you add AI order intake, explained matching and candidate engagement without a migration. Your data stays where it is, your team keeps their workflow.
Which tools does Globus.ai work with?
Globus.ai works with the tools staffing agencies already run, including Bullhorn, Access, Teamtailor, RecMan, WebTemp and Salesforce. No data migration, no replatforming project.
