Meet the team

Named AI colleagues, not a black box

Each agent owns a slice of the desk end to end, inside Globus.ai as your system of record.

    Eira Inbox Intelligence

  • Saga
    Saga Search & Match

    Searches the way a senior recruiter thinks, not the way a keyword index does. Every shortlist arrives with a written explanation, and Saga learns from what you accept and reject.

  • Nora
    Nora Engagement

How a move works

Your pace, your choice

  1. 01

    Choose your path

    A full switch, or a phased transition running Globus.ai alongside Bullhorn while your team gets comfortable. Either is a real option.

  2. 02

    Calibrate

    Your roles, skills, compliance rules and client preferences are mapped and migrated. The agents learn your desk, not a generic one.

  3. 03

    Go live, one workflow at a time

    Start with order intake or candidate engagement. Add the next once the first has proven itself, no big-bang cutover date required.

“We went from ten phone calls about availability to a couple of clicks.”

Bullhorn alternative, common questions

Does Globus.ai replace Bullhorn?

It can. Globus.ai is a full agentic ATS, your own system of record with AI colleagues built into every step, not a layer bolted onto Bullhorn. Many agencies choose a phased transition instead: Globus.ai running alongside Bullhorn at first, then a full cutover once the team is comfortable. Both paths are real, and there is no forced switch date.

What does moving off Bullhorn actually involve?

A guided migration: your candidate and client data is mapped and moved for you, not exported and rebuilt by your team. Most desks are live on a first workflow within days, with the full move phased over the timeline that suits the agency.

How is this different from Bullhorn's own AI features?

Bullhorn's AI is built to make Bullhorn's existing screens faster, and it does that reasonably well. Globus.ai is a full agentic ATS built around named AI colleagues who own a job end to end, from order intake through placement, as the core of the platform rather than a feature added to an older architecture.

Is Bullhorn a good ATS?

Yes. For agencies that need deep back-office capability, broad job-board distribution and the largest partner ecosystem in the category, it is one of the strongest choices on the market. This page is for agencies asking what a modern, AI-native alternative actually looks like, not arguing that Bullhorn is bad.

Where is our data processed?

In the EU. Human-in-the-loop review is built into the Control Room, and every automated decision carries an explanation and an audit trail, designed for the EU AI Act and for healthcare and public-sector buyers.

What does Globus.ai cost?

Pricing is usage-based rather than per seat: you pick the AI agents you need and pay for the work they do, measured in Globus Credits, with plans from Core through Enterprise. See how the model works on the pricing page, or book a demo and we will size a plan for your agency.
