From $29/recruiter/mo Free trial API
Bottom line
KitaHQ is an AI screening and candidate management platform for high-volume teams and staffing agencies, strongest in Southeast Asia. It pairs resume screening and multilingual AI video interviews with a light ATS that messages candidates over email, WhatsApp and SMS, from $29 per recruiter a month.
Stands out for: Candidate messaging runs through your own WhatsApp, SMS and email with multi-step sequences, which suits markets where candidates live on WhatsApp. Agencies get AI resume formatting and branding, shareable candidate reports and a hiring manager portal, and the AI video interviews are sold on their own from $99 a month if you already have an ATS.
Watch out for: The two products are priced separately, so screening plus interviews means paying for both, and interviews with live follow-up questions use three times the credits. API access and proctoring sit on the Business interview tier. Integrations named are meeting and messaging tools (Google Meet, Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp), not other ATSs, and the Capterra listing has too few reviews to show.
Overview
KitaHQ is built around two products. Candidate Screening covers resume review, AI video interviews, assessments and candidate reports. HireOS covers the active pipeline: talent pools, jobs and stages, candidate profiles, communication and hiring manager handoffs.
Screening starts with bulk resume upload and parsing, AI-suggested screening questions and an AI-assisted hiring criteria generator. Candidates then take a role-specific AI video interview, available 24/7 in multiple languages, and recruiters get the recording, transcript and an evidence-based assessment.
Communication runs as automated multi-touch sequences over your own connected email, WhatsApp and SMS, with interview scheduling, invitations and reminders and a full history per candidate. Candidates come in through a hosted career page, shareable links, a branded application form or the sourcing Chrome extension.
Hiring managers review shortlisted candidates, schedule interviews, add notes and record decisions in their own portal. Agencies can reformat and brand resumes and share candidate reports with clients. The vendor says recruiters, not the AI, decide who moves forward.
HireOS Pro is $29 per recruiter a month billed yearly ($39 monthly) for 200 AI-processed candidates, and Business is $49 yearly ($59 monthly) for 1,000. AI Video Interviews start at $99 a month for 50 standard interviews. Enterprise is quoted. The company has offices in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Jakarta.
