VeraHire
Scores every resume against your job description, runs a 10 to 15 minute AI voice interview and hands back a ranked shortlist. Pay as you go or plans from $49/mo.
From $49/mo Free trial
Bottom line
VeraHire runs the whole first round for high-volume hiring: it scores every resume against your job description, runs a short AI voice interview and returns a ranked shortlist with the evidence behind each score. It costs nothing to start, with pay as you go at $7 an interview or bundles from $49 a month, and a free trial of 300 screens and 30 interviews.
Stands out for: Every score has to trace back to something the candidate wrote or said, and the shortlist pushes into 50+ ATS and HRIS tools or runs with no ATS at all. Pricing is per screen and per interview with unlimited team members, and the product is independently bias audited under NYC Local Law 144.
Watch out for: The cheapest bundles assume steady volume: Starter covers only 10 interviews a month before $6.50 overage applies. Interviews are voice by default, so roles that need a camera depend on VeraHire switching video on for your account, and SMS invites are billed separately.
Overview
VeraHire is an AI recruiter for the first round of hiring. You paste a job description, VeraHire extracts the role criteria, and scoring starts within seconds so every applicant is measured against the same bar.
You decide who gets an AI interview: by score, everyone, or by hand. Candidates get an email link with no portal login and take a live voice interview, usually 10 to 15 minutes, whenever they are free. Video can be switched on for jobs that need it, with no face analysis.
Each candidate is scored on the interview, the resume and your criteria, and ranked. Reports include the full transcript and recording, and every met or unmet call ties back to something the candidate said.
The shortlist can be pushed to Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Manatal and 50+ other ATS and HRIS tools, or through Zapier and Make. Teams without an ATS can run the whole first round inside VeraHire, and every job gets an email address that scores forwarded resumes.
VeraHire targets volume hiring in BPO and outsourcing, staffing and RPO, hotels, restaurants and retail, field services, clinics, tutoring and marketplaces. Named customers include Prialto, Tawkify and Leylines.
