What agencies running volume desks measured with Globus.ai
Two tools built for two different desks
Invenias is built for retained executive search inside Microsoft 365, with real strength in Outlook workflow, client transparency and enterprise-grade compliance backed by Bullhorn. Globus.ai is a full agentic ATS built first for temp, contract and healthcare staffing, where volume and compliance are the job every day, not the exception.
| Feature | Globus.ai | Invenias by Bullhorn |
|---|---|---|
| Retained executive-search workflow (longlists, off-limits, confidential mandates) | Not our specialty - Invenias is purpose-built for this | Core strength: mature, methodology-driven retained-search tooling |
| Outlook-native workflow | Not our focus - a web-first platform | Signature strength: deep, native integration recruiters live in |
| Contract, interim and shift-based placement at volume | Core: order intake, availability confirmation, compliance, SLA-based routing | Not a stated focus - built around a single retained-search methodology |
| AI matching and search | Reasoning-based semantic match across the whole database, included in every plan | AI roadmap exists, but runs on a "bring your own model" basis - a separate OpenAI or Azure licence, purchased and configured independently |
| Advanced analytics and reporting | Built into the platform, no separate licence needed | Deeper reporting needs the Executive package plus separate Power BI licences from Microsoft |
| Automation | Built into every agent by default | Sold separately as Bullhorn Automation |
| Desktop/browser experience | One web platform, consistent on every device | Historically Windows-first; users report a weaker Mac and browser experience |
| Pricing model | Usage-based Globus Credits, published model | Custom pricing, not published - estimated from roughly $129-189 per user/month, plus add-ons |

Keep retained search where it works

Invenias alternative, common questions
Should a firm running only retained executive search switch from Invenias to Globus.ai?
No, not if that is the whole business. Invenias is purpose-built for retained search, its Outlook integration is a genuine, well-earned strength, and Bullhorn's enterprise backing brings real stability. Globus.ai is a full agentic ATS built first for temp, contract and healthcare staffing volume, a different job.
What if a firm runs both retained search and contract or interim desks?
That is the actual fit. Many agencies keep retained search on the specialist tool it was built for and run everything else, contract, interim, healthcare, on Globus.ai as a full agentic ATS. The two do not have to be the same platform.
Is Invenias different from Bullhorn's main ATS?
Yes. Invenias is the retained-executive-search product Bullhorn acquired in 2018 and still sells as a distinct offering, separate from Bullhorn's broader staffing and recruiting ATS/CRM. If your firm is weighing Bullhorn's general platform rather than Invenias specifically, see our Bullhorn comparison instead.
What does Invenias cost?
Bullhorn does not publish flat-rate Invenias pricing - licences are quoted, with independent estimates placing the base cost roughly between $129 and $189 per user/month, before Power BI licences, a separate AI model licence, or Bullhorn Automation. Ask Bullhorn for the all-in number rather than the base licence alone.
How does the AI compare?
Invenias AI runs on a "bring your own model" basis: you supply your own OpenAI or Microsoft Azure licence and Bullhorn enables it against your data. Globus.ai's agents include semantic matching, candidate conversation and compliance monitoring natively, in every plan, with no separate model licence to buy or manage.
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.
