Broadbean combines wide job-ad distribution with recruiting workflow and campaign controls.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Broadbean is recruitment software for staffing agencies, in-house recruiting teams, and large employers. It distributes job adverts across more than 7,000 job boards and recruitment channels, including search engines, social media channels, and company career sites. The platform also supports applicant tracking workflows, candidate response management, internal resume database searches, and recruiting campaign analysis. Teams looking for broad channel reach alongside sourcing and applicant management will find the product aligned with that use case.
Its distribution and ecosystem coverage are central strengths. Broadbean integrates with more than 120 applicant tracking systems and CRM systems, helping recruiting teams connect job distribution with existing workflows. It can search, index, tag, and filter applications in an internal resume database, rank applicants using machine-intelligence matching, and send automatic emails to shortlisted candidates. Approval layers, user access, apply paths, and job-board quotas add administrative controls for larger recruiting operations.
The published pricing model is contact-sales, so buyers should expect to discuss requirements with the vendor rather than select from publicly stated plans. Broadbean also includes programmatic job advertising with budget and performance controls, plus tracking for candidate sources, applications, engagement, and campaign performance. These capabilities suit teams managing multiple channels and measuring recruitment media performance. Organizations seeking a focused, narrow job-posting tool may prefer a simpler workflow, while recruiting teams that need distribution, integrations, candidate matching, and campaign controls should consider Broadbean.
