Bottom line
Hivemind is a San Francisco hiring platform that combines an ATS, sourcing and outreach, AI resume and phone screening, assessments and interview notes in one system. It is aimed at in-house talent teams and agencies that want to replace several point tools at once. Accounts start on a free plan with 300 credits, top-ups cost $10 per 1,000 credits, and subscriptions are quoted.
Stands out for: It bundles assessments for 1,500 roles, coding tests in 7 languages and an AI phone screener inside the ATS, and it runs its own MCP server so Claude or ChatGPT can work in your account. Connecting your own OpenAI key removes credit charges on AI evaluation steps.
Watch out for: Credit costs add up fast on voice and assessments (about 1,500 credits, or $15, for a 10-minute AI call, and 300 credits per assessment evaluation), and subscription prices are not published. The company is young, with no Capterra reviews yet.
Overview
Hivemind, also called Hivemind HR, is based in San Francisco and founded by Ali Elzeiny. It positions itself as a hiring operating system that replaces tools such as Greenhouse, Lever or Ashby plus separate testing and screening products, with 15 native modules and 275 integrations.
Pipelines are built as a graph of steps rather than a list of stages, so email, SMS, assessments, interviews, branching and delays run as one automated sequence. Resumes are parsed, scored and ranked as they arrive, and an AI agent can run structured phone screens and score each call into a shortlist. Async video answers are transcribed and scored too.
The assessment library covers 1,500 roles, from cashier to UX engineer, with coding and debugging tests across 7 languages and 22 frameworks, case studies, personality and cognitive tests, and integrity checks for cheating, impersonation and AI-assisted answers. Hivemind benchmarks results against 250,000+ assessment data points.
Around the pipeline sit sourcing with people search and enrichment, campaigns across email, SMS, LinkedIn and WhatsApp, a live interview co-pilot for Zoom and Meet, a careers page builder, a candidate portal, offers with e-signature and SSO. It syncs two ways with Ashby, connects to Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Microsoft 365 and Slack among others, and offers a REST API and an MCP server at mcp.hivemind.hr.
Billing is by credits. New accounts start on a free plan, email sign-ups get 300 credits, and top-ups cost $10 per 1,000 credits. A resume screen uses 10 credits, an assessment evaluation 300 and a 10-minute AI voice interview about 1,500. Subscriptions are quoted, and sales engagements start with a free pilot on a live role with migration, build and training included.

Pricing
Hivemind runs on credits. New accounts start on a free plan, and email sign-ups get 300 free credits. Credit top-ups cost $10 per 1,000 credits, in packs from 1,000 to 50,000. Usage includes 10 credits per AI resume screen, 300 per assessment evaluation, about 1,500 for a 10-minute AI voice interview (150 per minute), 80 per personality or IQ test, 1 per pipeline email, 100 per SMS, and 30 per People Search profile returned. Connecting your own OpenAI key removes the credit charge for AI evaluation steps. Monthly subscriptions that add credits are arranged with the sales team and their prices are not published. Paid engagements start with a free pilot on a live role, with implementation included. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
