Gustav vs ZINFI

Gustav is a staffing sub-vendor marketplace and vendor management platform for prime vendors, sub-vendors, master vendors and MSP offerings. Prime vendors can distribute open jobs to all or selected trusted vendors, while Gustav Circles groups vendors and supports staged job releases. Teams can source vetted candidates, review documents, build scorecards and sync submissions to an ATS. Custom hiring pipelines track candidate stages and can trigger vendor notifications; interview times can also be shared with candidates and vendors from a pipeline. Its Bullhorn integration shares jobs, receives candidate submissions, imports files and syncs custom data. A Chrome extension connects JobDiva jobs and candidate submissions and can trigger vendor notifications from status changes. An XML feed exports marketplace jobs to an ATS. Sub-vendors can join and follow prime vendors for free, and primes can invite current partners. Gustav is available on the web and as an extension. Most data is stored in an encrypted AWS database at rest and in transit, with restricted server access. Fuse Cooperative, a member-owned Limited Cooperative Association, operates Gustav as its technology platform.
