Longlist or Avionte: the short answer

Stay with Avionte if you run weekly temp payroll, multi-state tax and VMS orders in your ATS. Longlist suits US perm, contract and search firms whose payroll sits with another provider and who want sequences, CV packs and texting at a published price. Moving means running back office in a separate system.

Choose Longlist ifStay with Avionte if

Your firm places perm, contract or search candidates and a payroll provider pays them.

You process weekly temp payroll and multi-state tax inside the same system as your ATS.

You want to see the price before you book a demo.

Clients send orders through a VMS and you rely on SimpleVMS.

Email sequences and branded CV packs should come with the base plan.

Your temps pick up shifts, pay stubs and schedules in a branded mobile app.

You're a small team that wants to start without a consultant-led rollout.

You run high-volume light-industrial staffing with automated onboarding.

THE DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE

Why staffing firms move off Avionte

These come from public reviews on Capterra and a G2 comparison.

  • Hard to use the data elsewhere

    Reviewers cite limited open API access. Longlist exports candidate lists to Excel or CSV, and our team can run a full export on request. Its API is limited and available on request.

  • Freezes and slow pages

    Reviewers report slow loading. Test Longlist with your own records during the 14-day trial.

  • Built for the mid-market

    Reviewers describe a dated interface and complex setup. Longlist comes with standard agency stages and published prices for small teams.

Avionte and Longlist pricing

Avionte quotes after a demo. Longlist prices are USD per user per month, billed monthly or annually.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Splitting front office from Avionte

Leaving Avionte usually means separating recruiting from payroll. We import the recruiting side for free.

Walk through it with us
  1. 01

    Choose where payroll goes

    Longlist doesn't run payroll, tax or invoicing. Line up a payroll provider or back-office system for those records before you move the recruiting side.

  2. 02

    Ask Avionte for an export

    Avionte publishes no self-serve export guide. Ask your account team for candidates, contacts, companies, job orders, notes and resume files, and which format they come in.

  3. 03

    Read your agreement

    Avionte doesn't publish contract terms. Find your term end and notice period before you set a go-live date.

  4. 04

    Map, import and add placement rates

    We import your records and parse resumes. Open contract placements can carry their bill and pay rates, currency and start date.

FROM THE TEAMS USING LONGLIST

Recruiters, in their own words.

Chris Byrne · Head of Delivery, Marsh RPF

Growing the business

I could say we have seen more than a 20% increase without any additional overhead.

Our business has gone up a lot, and there are two reasons for that. One – the database that we were able to build in quick succession allowed us to promptly reach out to candidates and clients.

Second, I feel more confident that we have all the new technology for recruitment at our disposal.

Brad Chapman · Managing Director, TechSearch360

Getting started

Longlist.io team has been a great support to us from the first day of the launch.

They understood straight away what a newly formed recruitment business would need and helped me to set up my recruitment processes to create candidate and client leads.

Matthew Edge-Wilkins · MD, Talent Seeker

Empowering the team

As the founder of TalentSeeker, integrating Longlist has been transformative.

It's not just about efficiency gains; it's about empowering our team to make smarter decisions and provide exceptional service to our clients and candidates.
