Software for Mid-Sized US Staffing Firms
Choose a full staffing suite or separate front office, then test compliance, VMS and payroll with a weighted scorecard.
A JobDiva alternative. For desks that don’t live in a VMS.
JobDiva harvests resumes from your job-board subscriptions, syncs VMS requisitions and runs billing in DivaFinancials. If your recruiters spend the day on client relationships and shortlists, Longlist gives them a simpler CRM and ATS with the price on the website.

JobDiva or Longlist: who each one is for
Longlist is the better match for perm, search and smaller contract desks that win work through client relationships. JobDiva is the better match for high-volume US IT staffing that pulls requisitions from VMS and MSP programmes and needs billing and payroll on the same record. To get a lighter tool you give up harvesting, VMS sync and the back office.
Pick by how your work arrives
| Choose Longlist if | Stay with JobDiva if |
|---|---|
Hiring managers brief you directly and you track BD deals with them. | Requisitions reach you through VMS and MSP portals that need syncing. |
Clients expect a branded CV pack with your recommendation. | Your recruiters depend on harvesting resumes from your job-board subscriptions. |
You want monthly billing and a 14-day trial before you commit. | Billing, payroll and the MyTime timesheet app need to share a record with the ATS. |
You’d rather learn one CRM and ATS than a suite of modules. | You hand contractors a white-label mobile app. |
THE DETAILS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Why recruiters look beyond JobDiva
Speed
Slow performance and slow loading are the cons reviewers raise most. Time your daily searches in a Longlist trial and compare.
An older interface
Reviewers describe the interface as dated. Longlist shows each job as a kanban pipeline you can drag candidates across.
Training needed
Some reviewers say features are hard to follow without training. Longlist has fewer modules, and activity reports by recruiter and client come ready to use.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE
From JobDiva to Longlist
We import your data for free and agree the scope after reviewing what JobDiva sends you.
- 01
Request your data in writing
JobDiva doesn’t publish an export process. Ask for candidates with resumes, contacts, companies, jobs, submittals and notes, and confirm your contract end date at the same time.
- 02
Move the back office first
Timesheets, payroll and invoices from DivaFinancials need a new home with your payroll provider or accounting system. Longlist keeps bill and pay rates on each placement for reference.
- 03
We map and import
Our team maps JobDiva fields, imports records, parses resumes and checks for duplicates.
- 04
Rebuild your outreach
Recreate DivaReach workflows as Longlist sequences with call and LinkedIn tasks between emails, then connect each recruiter’s inbox.
How much does JobDiva cost?
JobDiva sets pricing client by client and doesn’t publish rates. Longlist Growth is $47/user/month billed annually or $59 monthly, and Plus is $65 or $79. See pricing.
Does Longlist sync with VMS portals?
No. Longlist has no VMS integration, so VMS requisitions would be entered by hand. If most of your work comes through VMS programmes, JobDiva is the stronger choice.
Can Longlist harvest resumes from job boards?
No. Add candidates by uploading CVs in bulk, through applications on your careers page, or by saving profiles with the Chrome extension.
Can we try Longlist before committing?
Yes. The trial is 14 days with no card. We didn’t find a JobDiva trial on its website, which offers demos instead.
Will our data come across from JobDiva?
Our team imports candidates, contacts, jobs and resumes from your export at no cost and checks the result with you. What moves depends on what JobDiva includes.
