Bullhorn vs. Recruit CRM: Finding the Right ATS/CRM for Your Agency
The Great Divide: Enterprise Legacy vs. Mid-Market Simplicity

RecruitCRM is the affordable challenger for smaller agencies, but often lacks the depth and AI needed for rapid scaling. Jarvi is engineered as the modern solution that captures the best of both worlds: enterprise-level AI and functionality with transparent pricing and simplicity.
