Bottom line

AI interview notes, write-ups, and ATS fill for recruiting agencies. Recruitment Pro is commonly quoted at $60/user/mo; the vendor has no published price grid.

Stands out for: Joins the interview, writes the note, and pushes a candidate presentation back to Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Lever, or Workable.

Watch out for: Packaging is demo-led and the product now leans toward agentic volume hiring, so confirm the seat price on a call rather than budgeting from the $60 figure. The five-meeting free plan is a usage cap, not a timed trial.

Overview

Carv sits in interviews and intake calls, takes notes, and drafts job descriptions, profiles, and hiring-manager write-ups. Agency desks use it to fill the ATS after the call. Lever, Greenhouse, Workable, Bullhorn, and Microsoft Teams are named on the integrations page.

There is no published price grid. Recruitment Pro has been sold at $60 per user per month, with a free plan limited to the first five intakes. Confirm packaging on a demo before you budget.
