Upwage
AI interviewer for high-volume and frontline hiring: screens every applicant 24/7 in any language, then an AI analyst scores competencies. Sales-quoted.
Quote-based pricing
Bottom line
AI interviewing platform for high-volume and frontline hiring. Its AI Interviewer screens every applicant 24/7 in any language, often in place of the apply button, and asks follow-up questions; an AI Analyst scores skills and competencies with the quotes behind each score; and an AI Builder lets your TA team create interviewers for each role. Pricing is quoted after an ROI consultation.
Stands out for: It sells on measured outcomes rather than features: published case studies cover turnover and recruiter capacity, such as Gopuff screening 766% more candidates and cutting warehouse and driver turnover from 23% to 17.5%. Interviews can be tuned to screen for retention, and multilingual screeners (Spanish and Creole among them) suit hourly workforces where many applicants have no resume.
Watch out for: No public pricing and no self-serve trial, so cost depends on a sales conversation. It is built for enterprise and frontline volume hiring, so a small team filling a few professional roles is unlikely to be the target customer, and the specific ATS partners are not named on the site.
Overview
Upwage is a US AI interviewing company led by co-founder and CEO Diana Tsai, with a stated mission of using AI to make hiring fairer for workers displaced by automation. It says it has built more than 7,145 customised AI interviewers and that candidates rate the experience 9.3 out of 10 on average.
The product has three agents. The AI Interviewer runs role-specific interviews the moment someone applies, around the clock and in any language, and asks probing follow-ups. The AI Analyst reviews every interview and scores skills, behaviours and competencies, highlighting the key quotes behind each judgement, and can be fine-tuned for different industries, seniority levels and goals such as long-term retention. The AI Builder lets recruiters create and refine their own interviewers and rubrics, with AI feedback on the questions.
Upwage connects to ATS platforms for bulk requisition import, shows interview details inside the ATS, shares results with hiring managers and triggers stage moves from its scores. The vendor stresses compliance: it describes its interviewer as EEOC-compliant and hallucination-free by design and publishes a Trust Center and bias audit material.
Customers named on the site include Gopuff, REI, MasterCorp, PRN, Carenet Health, Easterseals and Jackson Hewitt. Pricing is not published; buyers book a 15-minute ROI consultation and receive an ROI model before a quote.
