Bottom line

All in one AI screening stack for agencies: resume ranking, AI phone screens and proctored video or coding rounds, on a free ATS or synced to yours. The ATS is free and there is a 14 day trial, but AI interview pricing is only given on a call, so budget can't be checked up front.

Stands out for: It covers the whole screening funnel in one product, from interest check to proctored coding round, and throws in a free ATS for teams that have none. Domain specific assessments for healthcare, legal and education go beyond the usual tech and sales question banks.

Watch out for: No published price for the AI interviews, so the free ATS is the only cost you can see. Many of the headline numbers (500+ companies, 70% faster hiring) come from the vendor's own marketing, and it has very few independent reviews. Its FAQ also pitches interview practice to candidates, so confirm you are buying the recruiter product.

Overview

AltHire AI is an AI interview and screening platform run by AltHire AI LLC in Spokane, Washington. It is aimed mainly at hiring and staffing agencies, with separate packaging for enterprise, technical, high volume and campus hiring.

The workflow runs in four steps: resume matching that ranks applicants against the job, an interest check sent by email, SMS or WhatsApp, an adaptive AI phone screen with a scorecard, and a deep assessment round.

Deep assessments can be AI video interviews or live coding challenges, with question sets tailored by domain, including clinical reasoning for healthcare and case analysis for legal roles. Every session is proctored with camera, audio and screen monitoring plus AI answer detection.

Teams without an ATS can use AltHire's free built-in one, which includes a career page builder and posting to 50+ job boards. Teams with an ATS get two way sync with Greenhouse, Lever, Workday and 20+ others.

The enterprise tier adds white label branding under the agency's own domain, custom feature development, a dedicated account team and a 99.99% uptime SLA. AltHire states SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance.
