Why people look past ReCo

Face-to-face and phone capture are paid add-ons on top of the license. Teams of 5+ licenses are a custom quote.

What we noted

  • Teams of 5+ licenses need a custom quote
  • Phone and in-person capture cost extra
  • No published native ATS writeback. You still copy reports

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that need a native ATS writeback
  • High-volume phone or on-site interviewing without paying the capture add-on

Worth keeping in mind: Live transcript with no bot in the meeting. Works in Chrome for Google Meet and Microsoft Teams, in any language, and does not store audio or video.

What each one does differently

BrightHire

Sales-quoted MCP API

Why it comes up: Interview intelligence suite, sales-quoted, with recording and ATS-centric workflows.

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

Carv

Sales-quoted

Why it comes up: Agency AI notes and ATS fill from $60/user/mo with a trial. Writes back. ReCo stays in its workspace.

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

Watch out: Packaging is demo-led and the product now leans toward agentic volume hiring. Carv for recruiters shows a join-the-waitlist sign-up, so confirm availability and price on a call before you budget.

Best for

  • Recruiting agencies that live on intake calls
  • Desks on Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Lever, or Workable
  • Recruiters drowning in notes and write-ups

Hireflix

$75/mo 30 day free trial

Why it comes up: On-demand video interviews. ReCo is live notes on Meet/Teams, not a one-way recorder.

Stands out: Every plan includes unlimited seats, unlimited positions, unlimited interview responses, and the full feature set. Price only changes with company size.

Watch out: Small is for companies under 50 employees. Medium is $150/mo billed yearly for 50 to 250. Agencies and high-volume corporates go Custom.

Best for

  • SMBs under 50 employees that want unlimited one-way video without per-response overages
  • Teams that already live in Greenhouse and want to invite from the ATS
  • High-application roles where watching async answers beats scheduling screens

EvoHire

$165/mo Free tier

Why it comes up: AI phone and video technical screens from $165/mo with a free tier. A screener, not a notetaker.

Stands out: Cheat detection on phone and video technical screens is the wedge, not a generic one-way video recorder.

Watch out: The free plan is a cap, not a 14-day Pro trial. Paid at $165/mo still needs a live check on monthly interview volume and languages.

Best for

  • Engineering hiring teams that want AI phone and video screens before a CoderPad loop
  • TA orgs fighting interview cheating on remote technical screens
  • Startups that will try the free plan before $165/mo
