The short answer

  • Humanly : Chat and SMS screening if you do not want voice or video AI interviews. From Quote-based
  • Paradox : Conversational applications and scheduling if the gap is before the screen. From Quote-based
  • BrightHire : Records and summarizes live interviews if the first round stays human. From Sales-quoted
  • CoRecruit : Agency notes and submittals if the AI should write, not interview. From $64/user/mo

Why people look past HeyMilo

The core platform has no published price; only the Red add-on does. Candidate Recommendations, the ATS rediscovery feature, has deep integrations only with Bullhorn, Avionté and Tracker, and some candidates will not want a machine running the first conversation.

What we noted

  • No published price for the core platform
  • ATS rediscovery limited to three deep integrations
  • Some candidates dislike AI first-round interviews

Not the right fit for

  • Executive search, where the first call should be human
  • Buyers who need a published price for the core platform

Worth keeping in mind: HeyMilo runs the first round across several channels in one pass and attaches trust signals to each candidate: identity checks, AI-answer flags and multi-person detection. Its Red API applies the same fraud checks to interviews it never ran, from Zoom or Teams recordings.

What each one does differently

Humanly

Quote-based

Why it comes up: Chat and SMS screening if you do not want voice or video AI interviews.

Stands out: Conversational screening is the product rather than a feature bolted onto a tracker.

Watch out: No published price, and it is the wrong shape for executive search.

Best for

  • High-volume hourly hiring
  • Talent teams that screen over SMS
  • Teams that want notes attached to the candidate

Paradox

Quote-based

Why it comes up: Conversational applications and scheduling if the gap is before the screen.

Stands out: Purpose-built packages for Workday and SAP SuccessFactors estates.

Watch out: No published price, and it is far more product than a small professional-hiring team needs.

Best for

  • High-volume hourly employers
  • Talent teams already on Workday or SuccessFactors
  • Teams buried in SMS and scheduling back-and-forth

BrightHire

Sales-quoted MCP API

Why it comes up: Records and summarizes live interviews if the first round stays human.

Stands out: Interview recordings and coaching attached to the candidate record in the ATS.

Watch out: No published price, and it needs an ATS underneath it.

Best for

  • Talent teams on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby or Workday
  • Panels where someone always misses the interview
  • Teams coaching their interviewers

CoRecruit

$64/user/mo

Why it comes up: Agency notes and submittals if the AI should write, not interview.

Stands out: Native write-back into Bullhorn, Vincere, Crelate and Loxo, which most note-takers ignore.

Watch out: It is a note-taker, not an ATS, and it needs one of those systems underneath.

Best for

  • Agencies on Bullhorn, Vincere, Crelate or Loxo
  • Desks buried in interview notes
  • Teams that need submittals written up automatically
