Staffing & Recruiting Software: AI Visibility Ranking

Applicant tracking and CRM software for staffing agencies, recruiters, and search firms. Right now, Bullhorn is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 59 and the #1 spot in 56% of answers. Head-to-head: Bullhorn vs Loxo →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

Bullhorn dominates; everyone else is fighting over the margins.

Bullhorn is the clear consensus pick, appearing in 63% of answers and claiming the top recommendation more than half the time across all three models. The gap between first and second place is 33 points, which is not a close race by any measure. Behind Bullhorn, Loxo and Vincere tie on mention rate at 35% each, but neither has cracked the first-pick position, leaving the entire category shaped around one dominant player and a crowded, largely interchangeable pack below.
