Quote-based pricing
Bottom line
Zeeda is an AI interviewing platform built around a voice agent, Zee, that holds structured 20 to 30 minute conversations with every applicant. It merges that evidence with resumes, references and ATS notes into a profile scored against your own hiring rubric. It suits teams that want deeper first interviews and explained scores rather than a quick knockout screen. Prices are quoted after a demo.
Stands out for: Interviews run 20 to 30 minutes, much longer than a typical AI phone screen, and every score is explained against a rubric Zeeda will help you write if you do not have one. Zeeda says a ranked shortlist is ready within 48 hours of the process starting.
Watch out for: No pricing is published and there is no self-serve sign-up, so you need a demo. Beyond Workday and Microsoft Teams, the 70+ integrations are not named on the site, and its results figures come from a small sample (55 hires).
Overview
Zeeda describes itself as a hiring context engine. Instead of only filtering or ranking applicants, it combines three inputs: your hiring standards, the applicant data you already hold, and new evidence from structured voice conversations.
The first step is a rubric built from the job description, role expectations, team dynamics and company values. Where those standards do not exist, Zeeda works with your team to define them. Resumes, employment history, assessments, references and interview notes are then pulled in from your ATS.
Zee, the voice agent, runs a structured 20 to 30 minute conversation with every applicant, 24/7, at any stage you choose, probing motivation, character and behavioural signal. Every conversation is recorded, transcribed and added to the profile. Zeeda reports a 4.5 average applicant rating for these interviews.
The output is a context profile for each applicant, scored against the rubric with the reasoning shown and the transcript and audio attached, plus a ranked shortlist that Zeeda says is ready within 48 hours. Hiring decisions stay with your team. Transcripts and evaluations sync into Workday and 70+ other tools, and Zeeda will build integrations on request.
Zeeda does not publish prices; plans are quoted after a demo. It also gives away 11 open source Claude skills for talent acquisition, covering briefs, sourcing strings, outreach, interview scorecards and offer negotiation.
