Bottom line

AI interview notes, write-ups, and ATS fill for recruiting agencies. Pricing is sales-quoted; the vendor publishes no prices and its recruiter product is on a waitlist.

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

Watch out for: 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.

Overview

Carv sits in interviews and intake calls, takes notes, and drafts job descriptions, profiles, and hiring-manager write-ups. Agency desks use it to fill the ATS after the call. Lever, Greenhouse, Workable, Bullhorn, and Microsoft Teams are named on the integrations page.

There is no published price grid, and the old pricing page now redirects to the homepage. Pricing is sales-quoted through a demo, and Carv for recruiters currently shows a waitlist. Confirm packaging on a demo before you budget.
