Caria
Caria is a voice-command AI recruiting tool that sources from 1.2B+ profiles, runs outreach and AI interviews. Free plan available.
From $990/mo Free tier Free trial
Bottom line
Caria is a voice-command AI recruiting platform that searches 1.2B+ profiles, sends outreach and runs AI avatar interviews. A Free plan and $0.50 per credit pay as you go sit below Pro at $990/mo and Growth at $1,290/mo. It fits small agencies and startups that want sourcing and first-round interviews in one early-stage tool.
Stands out for: Recruiters can run searches, stage moves and batch follow-ups by speaking to the product, a mode Caria calls a voice-command recruiting OS. Paid plans bundle AI avatar video interviews in 30+ languages alongside sourcing. Overage prices are published per job, interview and profile, so costs above the plan limit are predictable.
Watch out for: Caria launched its public beta in January 2026 and the voice feature is still labeled beta. The jump from pay as you go to Pro at $990/mo is steep for a single recruiter. The only ATS connectors named for Pro are Workday and Lever, and SSO and SOC 2 are Enterprise only.
Overview
Caria is the AI recruiting product of Meet Caria, a company with a US address in Newark, Delaware, that announced a $1M pre-seed round in January 2026. The product launched as a public beta on January 2, 2026.
aFinder runs semantic search across 1.2B+ profiles drawn from LinkedIn, GitHub and 15+ databases, and enriches results automatically on paid tiers. Searches can be typed or spoken.
aHunter writes individual outreach messages and sends by email, DM or WhatsApp, handles follow-ups and tracks responses. aRecruiter lets candidates book their own interview slot and then runs a video interview with an AI avatar, returning transcripts, competency scores and flagged concerns.
Pricing starts with a Free plan and $0.50 per credit pay as you go. Pro is $990/mo with 3 seats and Growth is $1,290/mo with 5 seats, each with published overage rates. Enterprise adds unlimited sourcing and outreach, SSO and SOC 2 Type II.
