The Essential ATS plan with low-per-user, day-to-day-usage pricing is unique to staffing industry

BrightMove, a pioneer in cloud-based recruiting software solutions, has introduced a low-per-user, day-to-day-usage applicant tracking software (ATS) pricing plan to provide a new option for budget-conscious organizations.

Daily costs – therefore, monthly costs – vary under the new BrightMove ATS Essential plan, depending on: the number of users and active jobs; career portal usage; and the amount of storage used for jobs, applicants and contacts. The Essential plan’s daily pricing is:

• Users – $.25 per user (1 user keeps account open, at about $7.50/mo.)
• Career portal – $.25 per portal
• Storage for jobs, applicants, contacts – $.10 per block of 1,000, per category
• Open jobs – $.05 per job

The beta version of the Essential plan was announced in February under the name CM (consumption model).

Reaching underserved and virtually unserved markets

“There’s such growth in small staffing companies and independent recruiters that could use what ATS offers to help make them successful,” said David Webb, BrightMove’s cofounder and CEO.

“This underserved market, as well as the virtually unserved market of seasonal hirers, nonprofits, and many small businesses, should have the same tools that deeper-pocketed enterprises have to help them hire right and hire fast. That’s why we developed the Essential plan.”

“We use BrightMove ATS under the Essential plan for recruiting, business development and candidate intake; we use it to raise brand awareness and push jobs on social media,” said John Perton, TalentYeti cofounder and managing partner. “We are literally using it to run our business on a day-to-day basis.”

Perton continued: “It absolutely streamlines the hiring process and boosts efficiencies through the roof. We just hired someone who hopped on a BrightMove new-user training call around 1:00pm and by 6:00pm he’d submitted 28 candidates to a job we had open.

“That’s productivity on day one.”

“We knew we had to move our searches to the online arena,” said Terry Trim, director of operations for both restaurants. “And BrightMove had a cost-effective way for us to enter the 21^st Century and ‘the cloud.’

“We were surprised at how many applicants the system produced as soon as we went live. In the first two weeks we had more than in the previous whole year. And the first 20 led to three new hires.

“This plan is perfect for independent restaurants and small chains,” Trim continued, adding that he never thought that Kooky Canuck “could afford a staffing system comparable to those used by large enterprises.”

Trim has recommended BrightMove to other restaurants.
