Bottom line

Voice AI interviewer for screening at volume. Growth is $499/mo billed annually; 7-day trial.

Stands out for: A public interview-capacity grid ($499 / $999 / $1,999) plus Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn, Workday, and Workable named.

Watch out for: Growth is 100 interviews/mo with $4 overage. This is not a $49 toy. Overage will dominate a busy week.

Overview

Ribbon is a voice AI interviewer for screening candidates at volume. It runs the first-round conversation, scores it, and writes back to the ATS. Ashby, Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Jobvite, Lever, Workable, and Workday are named on the integrations page.

Pricing, billed annually: Growth $499/mo (100 interviews, $4 overage), Business $999/mo, Scale $1,999/mo, Enterprise quoted. A 7-day free trial sits on the paid rungs. It is not an ATS of record.

Who it's for

Best for

  • TA teams running high-volume voice screens
  • Companies on Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, or Workday
  • Desks that want a 7-day trial before a $499 seat
  • Top-of-funnel screening, not final-round interviews

Not ideal for

  • SMBs that need a $49 interviewer
  • Teams that will not use AI voice
  • Executive search
