Bottom line
Hello Recruiter is an AI screening and interview platform with fraud checks. A free ATS plan posts 1 job with unlimited candidates and no AI. The homepage states paid plans start at $29 a month, billed per organization, not per seat.
Stands out for: Add-on packs are printed even when the plan grid is not: 1,000 resume evaluations for $10, 10 HR interviews for $20, and 10 technical interviews for $80. The whole team shares the org plan.
Watch out for: The free plan has no AI screening or interviews. Hitting a monthly limit pauses new AI volume unless you buy a pack or wait for reset. Add-on packs sit on Starter, Scale, and Pro rather than on Free.
Overview
Hello Recruiter screens and interviews applicants with role-specific AI, then hands reviewers a summary, round verdicts, risks, and original evidence. Fraud and impersonation checks sit in that loop. Pricing is per organization. Free is a real ATS: 1 job, unlimited candidates, pipeline, parsing, and a branded career page, all manual.
The homepage says plans start at $29 a month. The pricing page prints add-on packs and the free-plan rules. Add-ons: $10 per 1,000 resume evaluations (Starter and up), $20 per 10 HR interviews (Scale and up), $80 per 10 technical interviews (Pro and up). An interview playground lets you try AI interviews as a candidate.
