Looking for a Bullhorn Time & Expense (Peoplenet) alternative?
Searches for Peoplenet or Bullhorn Time & Expense alternatives usually come from two places: SMB agencies quoted an enterprise price for a mid-market problem, and firms that inherited the platform through a VMS relationship and want something they control.
Sized and priced for firms that don't have an implementation team on staff, Hire2Hero delivers the same core loop (mobile time capture, client approval, payroll export) plus built-in invoicing, which Bullhorn sells separately.
Hire2Hero also connects with the rest of your stack — see QuickBooks Online and ADP, or browse all integrations.
