AI candidate screening tools that work with Bullhorn
Four options for agencies running Bullhorn, including Bullhorn’s own. What each one screens, what it charges for, and which one suits which desk.
Agencies on Bullhorn have four realistic options for AI candidate screening: Bullhorn Amplify, which is first-party; ConverzAI and Sense, which screen by voice and messaging across many ATS platforms; and Alert Hire, which runs a written first-round interview, key checks first, with candidates added from a pasted list, a CSV or one interview link from any ATS. None of the four publishes a price.
What AI screening tools work with Bullhorn?
Four are worth comparing. Bullhorn ships its own, Amplify, whose Screen capability its site describes as conducting, summarising and scoring candidate interviews and routing top talent to the right recruiter. ConverzAI runs voice, SMS and email screening and lists Bullhorn among eleven ATS integrations. Sense runs AI phone screening and conversational messaging and lists Bullhorn too. Alert Hire interviews the candidates your own screening leaves you with, in writing: the key checks first, then your questions, with every score quoted from the candidate’s own answer.
The split that matters is how the interview runs and what you get back. ConverzAI and Sense reach candidates by voice and messaging. Amplify runs its interviews inside Bullhorn. Alert Hire runs a written interview in a web page, marks the key checks against the answer you set, quotes the candidate’s own words behind every score, and works the same whichever ATS the candidates came from. Which fits depends on whether you want candidates spoken to, or answers you can read and check.
| Tool | How it screens | What it is priced on | Where it sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bullhorn Amplify | Conducts, summarises and scores candidate interviews, routes top talent to a recruiter | Not published, quote only | First-party, inside Bullhorn |
| ConverzAI | Voice calls, SMS and email, described as a virtual recruiter | Not published | Third party, 11 ATS platforms |
| Sense | AI phone screening plus SMS, WhatsApp and chatbot engagement, with matching and scoring | Not published | Third party, wider engagement platform |
| Alert Hire (ours) | Written first-round interview from an emailed link: key checks, then your questions, every score quoted from the answer | Three-month pilot at cost, then priced against the consultant time it saves | Third party, from a pasted list, a CSV or the job’s interview link, any ATS |
The honest part
Where each one wins
Including where they beat us.
Bullhorn Amplify
First-party. Nothing to integrate and nothing to break when Bullhorn changes an API, one vendor and one invoice, and candidate data never leaves the system you already trust. If you are on a tier that includes it, trying it costs nothing.
ConverzAI
Voice, not text. If you want candidates spoken to rather than answering in writing, that is a different category and Alert Hire does not compete in it today. It also covers eleven ATS platforms, which matters for a group running more than one.
Sense
Screening is one part of a much wider engagement, redeployment and nurture platform. If your problem is the whole candidate lifecycle rather than the top of the funnel, Sense covers far more of it than we do.
Alert Hire
Key checks marked against the answer you set, a quote from the candidate’s own answer behind every score, and it never declines anyone. Priced per agency rather than per seat, works the same from a list, a CSV or one interview link whatever ATS you run, and candidate data stored in Australia.
Questions
The general list is on the home page. Anything else: admin@alertai.com.au.
Yes. Bullhorn Amplify includes a Screen capability, which its product page describes as conducting, summarising and scoring candidate interviews around the clock and routing top talent to the right recruiter. Bullhorn does not publish a price for it.
Not necessarily, and if Amplify is already in your contract it is the sensible thing to try first. The case for a third party is a different approach rather than a missing feature: key checks marked by your own rule, a quote you can read behind each score, or the same tool working across more than one ATS.
On their own public pages, ConverzAI describes voice, SMS and email, Sense describes AI phone screening and messaging, and Amplify describes conducting and scoring interviews. Alert Hire’s interview is written, in a web page the candidate opens from an email, which suits a considered answer and needs no phone signal. If the channel matters to you, ask each vendor directly.
None of the four publishes a rate. Alert Hire publishes its pricing model in full without a number: a pilot at cost, then a price set against the time saved. For the others you will need a quote, and we will not guess on their behalf.
