An Avionte alternative. For agencies that don’t run payroll.
Avionte runs temp staffing from job order to paycheck, and you only see a price after a demo. Longlist covers the front office, from client deals to placements, at a seat price on the pricing page.
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.
Avionte vs Longlist for a staffing front office
We compared Avionte's product pages and support centre with Longlist Growth and Plus, checked October 16, 2026. Avionte doesn't publish plans, so its rows describe the platform as a whole.
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.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE
Splitting front office from Avionte
Leaving Avionte usually means separating recruiting from payroll. We import the recruiting side for free.
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.
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.
03
Read your agreement
Avionte doesn't publish contract terms. Find your term end and notice period before you set a go-live date.
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
