Flexible scheduling for candidates

Some candidates prefer in-person

Assessing people

Asynchronous candidate screening with video, audio, text, file and screen-recording answers, AI transcripts and scorecards.

Public and detailed pricing with a no-card trial

Not a full ATS/CRM or live interview suite

Screening, assessments, AI interviews and proctoring in one platform

No public pricing on the vendor's own site

Assessing people

Australian-built AI reference checking: the assistant phones the referee, holds the conversation and writes a transcribed, scored report, with chat and form fallbacks. US$3.25 per candidate, two referees included, no subscription. Integrates with JobAdder, RecruitOnline and Zapier.

Depends on referees accepting a call from an AI; no completion rate is published

Assessing people

Interview intelligence for live interviews: recording, transcription, real-time interviewer guides, AI-written notes and scorecards, plus candidate fraud detection. A separate product, BrightHire Screen, is an AI interviewer for first-round screening, sold standalone or bundled. Named integrations include Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, iCIMS, Workable, BambooHR, Zoom, Teams and Slack. Pricing is quote-only: three tiers, no published price and no general self-serve trial, though Greenhouse customers have a partner offer of three months for five users. The vendor states most customers are fully set up in under a day with no implementation or training fees.

No price is published on any of the three tiers

Assessing people

Asynchronous video screening with candidate clips, collaborative review and AI transcription and summaries. Buy per role at £49 for 60 days, 100 responses and 2 seats, or take the Agency plan at £225/month billed annually for 20 active roles and 10 seats. 14-day trial.

Per-role pricing means no subscription in the months you do not screen

100 video responses per role turns the price into a per-hundred-candidate cost

Assessing people

Automated CV reformatting into an agency's own branded template, with optional anonymisation, PDF, Word and image input, and PDF, Word or weblink output. Named integrations with Greenhouse, JobAdder, MySolution, Salesforce and Seven20 plus API and webhooks. The vendor states explicitly that it does not rate or evaluate candidates.

Narrow, countable problem makes the return easy to calculate

Two current locale pricing pages describe different minimums and rates

Proctoring and screen recording are available across formats, a lightweight pipeline layer comes with it, and the vendor states SOC 2 Type II with primary data residency in Mumbai.

Charged only when a candidate completes an assessment

Linear per-assessment pricing offers no protection at sustained high volume

Technical screening and interviewing platform for engineering hiring, with a coding environment, plagiarism controls and a tiered question library. Sold per attempt, from $79/month billed annually.

Starter is limited to a single user

Assessing people

An interview evaluation layer that turns audio, transcripts and notes into structured scorecards against a role rubric, so candidates can be compared on the same criteria and a human validates the result before deciding. Billed per evaluation rather than per seat, with a free tier of five evaluations and a connected-calendar meeting bot for capture.

Comparison on shared criteria, not just a searchable transcript

A decision layer only: no sourcing, pipeline or offer management

Assessing people

Marcel by Matcher.jobs is a 24/7 AI recruiter on WhatsApp and web chat that prequalifies candidates in conversation and scores culture fit using the CFILytics model, developed with researchers from a Vrije Universiteit Brussel spin-off across seven bipolar domains. Every candidate is reviewed by a person; Marcel never rejects on its own. Priced per vacancy plus an annual subscription, not per conversation.

Meets candidates on WhatsApp, where hourly and field workers actually reply

A culture score benchmarked on the current team can reward sameness

Assessing people

Recruiting AI agents licensed separately: Notetaker free for 25 calls a month then $60 per user, Sourcing free for the first 100 profiles then $100 per user for 200 a month or $300 unlimited, and Application Review free for 50 applications then $150 a month for 500 reviews with unlimited users. The full platform is quoted.

Three agents are three separate purchases with three billing shapes

Assessing people

Culture-fit assessment that measures the employer first: at least five employees fill in a survey that is aggregated into an organisational culture profile, each candidate then takes a 10-12 minute questionnaire without seeing it, and the platform returns a percentage fit figure with strengths, risks and interview questions. Free plan for one culture map and one candidate; PLN 59 or PLN 109 net a month for five or ten candidates. Run by a Polish sole proprietorship. The psychometric model behind the questionnaire is not named and no validity documentation is published.

Measures the employer's own culture first, rather than comparing candidates to a generic ideal

Modular AI recruiting engine selling AI sourcing, AI video interviewing and a Talent CRM as separately priced, credit-metered modules, or combined as a full-stack hiring platform.

Quote-only pricing with no public rate card

Assessing people

Pushes shortlists into Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby and others. Quote-only pricing scoped to applicant flow.

Interviews every applicant instead of only those who pass a CV filter

No published pricing, so it cannot be compared without a scoping call

Assessing people

Recruitment data infrastructure: APIs for CV parsing into 140+ structured fields across 30+ languages, skill taxonomy and job-to-candidate matching, sold to teams building or operating recruitment software. Metered on parsing volume, no public rate card.

No price, range or per-assessment cost is published on either route

Assessing people

Explainable resume screening for small teams that hire without an ATS. The employer writes the criteria and weights, SiftFirst ranks applications against them, and every score carries a quoted line from the resume as evidence. Billed per candidate screened rather than per seat, with a free tier of 50 candidates a month.

Every criterion score is backed by a quoted line from the resume

Screening only: no sourcing, communication, offers or pipeline management

Finding people

Assessing people

AI voice interviewing for first-round screening, with scoring, transcripts, summaries, role-specific job tryouts and reference checks. Billed against a monthly pool of interview minutes: $175 for 50, $325 for 100 and $750 for 250, with unused minutes resetting each cycle.

Published per-minute economics, comparable directly with a recruiter's hour

Unused minutes reset each cycle, so over-buying capacity is a straight loss
