AI interview software for companies over 2,000 people

A proven link to Workday, SuccessFactors or Oracle decides this shortlist

HireVue, Maki and Apriora already prove that link, each with named customers. Eightfold proves it only for Oracle Recruiting Cloud. HeyMilo, Spotted Zebra and Glider AI prove less.

Every quote depends on your headcount, hiring volume and systems

Eightfold comes closest to a real number. Its own guidance describes a cost in the five figures for a company at the middle of its size range. That figure already covers three security certificates. ISO 27001 covers keeping information secure. ISO 42001 covers managing AI responsibly. SOC 2 is an outside audit of security controls. If Oracle already runs your recruiting, you can pay through Oracle’s marketplace. The cost can then come from money already committed to Oracle, not a new budget line.

For a sense of scale, HireVue holds three US federal contracts, from $2,196,592 to $2,800,780. None of them names this specific interview tool.

The rest explain how they price, not the amount. Apriora prices against your headcount. Maki charges per candidate conversation, and switches on and bills each of its agents separately. Talview adds an extra charge once a pilot passes ten candidates. Glider AI's pricing page ends at a request for a demo. Spotted Zebra publishes no pricing page at all.

HireVue's price rises 10% a year on its own. A letter has to reach HireVue's renewals address before 60 days are left on your term. Otherwise the price rises. Write that date on a calendar the day you sign.

Vendors give you different amounts of time to take your data when you leave. Eightfold gives you thirty days in writing once a contract ends. HeyMilo sets sixty days by default for one candidate's file. It sets ten business days for all your data once the whole agreement ends. Put a number of days for Talview into your own contract.

Two tools can act alone, and three dates change the contract

What should you ask each of the seven before signing?

1. HireVue: What happens if we do not write to you 60 days before renewal? Good answer: A written date, sent to us, not left for us to track.
2. Maki Mochi: Who on our side can turn off the filters that reject a candidate automatically? Good answer: Only a named admin, and it is off by default.
3. Apriora: Who can turn off the Coordinator’s automatic booking? Good answer: Only a named admin, and it is off by default.
4. Apriora: Do fraud checks, monitoring, identity checks and interview booking cost extra? Good answer: A written yes or no, itemized in the quote.
5. Eightfold: What does it cost once our headcount passes 5,000? Good answer: A written estimate for our own headcount.
6. Spotted Zebra: Your published audit ran on invented candidates. Will you audit our interview on our own candidates, and who pays for that? Good answer: Yes, and Spotted Zebra pays for it.
7. Glider AI: Before we sign, will you give us a written data agreement and a list of who else touches our data? Good answer: Both documents, before the demo ends.
8. Glider AI: Does a finished interview send a result back into Workday or SuccessFactors? Good answer: A written yes or no for the system we use.

Run a pilot first if none of these seven clears procurement

A pilot in one division gives your next budget round evidence from your own candidates, not a vendor's case study.

A division or a country may buy on its own budget. If it has 200 to 2,000 people, read our guide to AI interview software for mid-sized companies instead. If most of your hiring is in Europe and the UK, read that guide. It covers the rules that apply there.
