TalentBridge Staffing Unified 8 Tools into One Platform, Productivity Up 35%
The Challenge
TalentBridge Staffing, a national staffing agency placing 200+ contractors monthly across light industrial, administrative, and healthcare verticals, had a technology stack that had grown organically into an 8-tool nightmare. Candidate tracking lived in Bullhorn ($150/user/month), client relationships in Salesforce, timesheets in Deputy, invoicing in QuickBooks, scheduling in Calendly, team communication in Slack, margin tracking in Google Sheets, and job postings on Indeed. Total monthly SaaS: $18,400. Coordinators toggled between 8 windows all day. New coordinator onboarding took 3 weeks just to learn all the systems.
The Platform We Built
A unified custom solution tailored to TalentBridge Staffing's exact workflow.
The Solution
AltStack built a unified staffing operations platform with: a combined ATS + CRM (candidate pipeline and client relationship management in one system), timesheet management with mobile clock-in/out for contractors, automated invoicing triggered by timesheet approval, integrated scheduling for interviews and shifts, team collaboration tools organized by client account, margin calculator with real-time profitability tracking per placement, and a job posting module that syndicates to multiple boards via API. New coordinator onboarding dropped from 3 weeks to 3 days because there's only one system to learn.
The Results
TalentBridge eliminated $18,400/month in SaaS subscriptions, replacing it with $2,000/month in AltStack maintenance. Net annual savings: $167,000. Coordinator productivity increased 35% as measured by placements per coordinator per month (from 14 to 19). Time-to-fill decreased from 8.2 days to 5.4 days because the unified system eliminated handoff delays between ATS and CRM. The biggest operational win was the timesheet-to-invoice automation: what used to take a full-time admin 20 hours/week now happens automatically with approval workflows, freeing that admin to focus on client development.
Tools Replaced
“Our staffing coordinators were toggling between 8 different tools. Now they have one dashboard with everything, candidate tracking, client CRM, timesheet management, invoicing. Productivity is up 35%.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about TalentBridge Staffing's custom software project.
Yes. AltStack built TalentBridge's Bullhorn replacement in 7 days with all core ATS features (candidate pipeline, job matching, resume parsing) plus integrated CRM, timesheet management, and invoicing that Bullhorn charges extra for or doesn't offer natively.
TalentBridge's platform includes mobile timesheet entry with GPS clock-in/out for contractors. When a supervisor approves timesheets, the system automatically generates client invoices based on pre-negotiated bill rates, calculates margins, and triggers payment workflows, eliminating 20 hours/week of manual admin work.
