What one healthcare staffing agency measured
Where the two approaches actually differ
Crelate is a genuinely capable, highly configurable ATS/CRM, with real strength in full-desk sales tracking and client portals for perm and executive search. The difference is architectural: Crelate's AI agents and Co-Pilot are gated to its higher-priced tiers; Globus.ai is built as an agentic ATS from the ground up, with AI colleagues standard on every plan and a specific focus on temp, shift and healthcare workflows Crelate itself does not target.
| Feature | Globus.ai | Crelate |
|---|---|---|
| System of record | Built in -- one agentic ATS, not a bolt-on layer | Crelate, an established US ATS/CRM built for full-desk recruiting |
| Order intake from client email, PDF, portals | Automatic, any format, under a minute | Entered manually; no stated native email-parsing layer |
| Temp, shift and assignment filling | Core: priority-based routing with SLA, availability confirmation, quick booking | Perm and executive-search-oriented workflow; not built for heavy shift-based temp scheduling |
| Healthcare compliance and credential monitoring | Continuous credential and expiry monitoring with audit trail | Not a stated focus |
| AI included | Standard on every plan, an orchestrated agent team | Discover and Insights agents plus a Co-Pilot, gated to the Business Plus tier and above -- entry-level plans do not include them |
| Full-desk CRM and client portals | Focused on the agentic ATS layer, with client-facing self-service built in | Deep sales/BD pipeline tracking and client portals for candidate review -- a genuine strength for perm and executive-search desks, the reason many agencies stay |
| Moving from Crelate | Guided migration, handled for you, or a phased coexistence period | Crelate cites 1-3 weeks for basic field data; relational data such as submission history needs paid professional-services migration |
| Pricing model | Usage-based Globus Credits, published model | Essentials $85/user/month capped at 2 users; Business $119/user/month with a 5-seat minimum; higher tiers custom-quoted, with a reported annual price escalator on renewal |
Named colleagues, each owning a job end to end

Crelate alternative, common questions
Is Crelate a good ATS/CRM?
Yes. It is an established, highly configurable system with real strength in full-desk recruiting: sales and BD pipeline tracking alongside candidate delivery, strong client portals, and SOC 2 / ISO 27001 certification. If your desk is US-based perm or executive search working to a defined budget, it deserves to be on your shortlist.
So when should we choose Crelate over Globus.ai?
When your desk is genuinely perm or executive-search led in the US, you want deep full-desk customisation and client portals in one system, and you do not need shift-specific automation or continuous compliance monitoring. Choose Globus.ai when temp, shift or healthcare desks are the job, or when Nordic and UK market coverage and enterprise references matter to your buyers.
Does Globus.ai replace Crelate?
It can. Globus.ai is a full agentic ATS, its own system of record, with AI colleagues built into every step and included on every plan rather than gated to a higher tier. Many agencies choose a phased transition instead, running Globus.ai alongside Crelate at first, then a full cutover once the team is comfortable.
What about Crelate's client portals and sales/BD tracking?
Globus.ai includes client-facing self-service as part of the agentic ATS itself, but it is not a like-for-like replacement for Crelate's dedicated full-desk sales pipeline tooling. If deep BD forecasting is central to how your desk works today, that is a specific conversation to have during a demo, not a blanket promise.
How does the pricing compare?
Crelate publishes Essentials at $85/user/month (capped at 2 users) and Business at $119/user/month (5-seat minimum); its AI agents and Co-Pilot require the custom-quoted Business Plus tier and above. Globus.ai is usage-based through Globus Credits, so cost follows the volume of work the agents do rather than the number of seats, with AI colleagues included from the start. Ask us to model it against your actual volumes.
Do you have European data residency?
Yes. Data is processed in the EU, with GDPR compliance, human-in-the-loop review and an audit trail on every automated decision.
