BrightMove

Human-First, AI-Powered ATS

Visit BrightMove

BrightMove is a cloud-based applicant tracking system built by recruiters for recruiters, launched in 2005 and headquartered in St. Augustine Beach, Florida. It addresses the cost and inefficiency of slow or poor hiring by pairing human recruiting expertise with AI designed to augment teams rather than replace their judgment. The platform supports the full recruiting lifecycle, from candidate search and sourcing through back-office operations, with a parent-child multi-tenant model that lets teams work from a single login while maintaining customer segregation and customization.

Key capabilities include the Source, Engage, and Track modules, covering job distribution, people parsing, social integration, SMS and email communication, calendar tools, power search, reporting and analytics, and back-office workflows. Wizdom AI provides native candidate communication, personalized outreach, and real-time recruiter insights, with Robin the Recruiter and Wiz as guidance tools. Integrations span job boards, communication and back-office systems, an open API with webhooks, Zapier, and a live Model Context Protocol server for AI clients. Brand management supports white-label workspaces, custom job sites, and branded dashboards.

BrightMove is aimed at recruiters, staffing firms, RPO teams, and organizations needing a customizable ATS with multi-brand support. Pricing is utilization-based, with Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise editions, recruiter seats, additional user types, and add-ons for SMS, AI, back office, and analytics; final pricing is provided by the sales team.
