Glider AI

The score reads answers only, and a person makes every call

The company is mid-sale, and no bias audit is published

Glider AI, Inc. has raised $10m in total, in one round announced in March 2023. Primera Capital and other investors took part. On 19 March 2026, Findem announced a deal to buy Glider AI. The terms were not made public. Findem said the deal would close “in the coming weeks”. That was more than six months ago. Findem’s own list of press releases runs to 15 September 2026, and none of them says the sale has closed. Glider’s own page about Findem was updated as recently as 11 September 2026. It still describes the two companies as partners. Findem’s own product is called Studio. Glider’s page reads, “Glider and Findem are partners. There is no confirmed technical integration between Studio and Glider’s assessment tools.”

No layoffs have been reported. No lawsuit or regulatory complaint names Glider AI.

It fits technical, contract and high-volume hiring

No price is published, and the contract you sign may differ

Glider’s pricing page redirects you to a demo-request form, not a number. Bring your own monthly candidate volume and the roles you would put through it to the call. Get the shape of the quote before you get the number itself. Get a list of extra costs alongside the headline figure before you sign.

Glider’s terms say your account information “may be deleted from Glider’s databases”. They add that deleted data “may continue to be available for some period of time”. They also warn that “third parties may retain saved copies of Your Information”. Its privacy policy says data is “kept for the time necessary to provide the service requested”. Put your own export window, format and deletion date in the contract instead of relying on either one. Request Glider’s data processing agreement before you sign. Also request its list of subprocessors, the outside companies that might handle your data.

What to ask before you sign

1. Findem announced a deal to buy Glider in March 2026 and said it would close within weeks. Has the sale closed? If not, what happens to our contract, price and data if it closes while we are mid-contract? Good answer: A written yes or no, and a clause covering what happens if it closes.
2. Your terms of service say a separate contract overrides them. The public terms cap your liability at $100 and make us defend any claim. What does our actual contract say about liability, and about who defends a claim? Good answer: A copy of the real contract terms before we sign, not just the public ones.
3. Do the score and report land in Workday, SAP SuccessFactors or Greenhouse on their own? Or does our recruiter open Glider separately to see them? Good answer: A clear yes or no, in writing.
4. Do you have an independent bias audit of this interview? Will you share the summary, so we can meet our own duty under New York City’s Local Law 144? Good answer: A named auditor and a summary we can publish.
5. What happens if a candidate will not agree to the disclosure? What if a candidate would rather talk to a person than the AI interviewer, or needs a disability adjustment? Good answer: A documented alternative route, not just an ended interview.
6. If we turn on a limit for leaving the interview screen, who on our side sets that number? If someone changes it later, will that show up somewhere we can check? Good answer: An admin-only setting with a change log.
7. Once our contract ends, what window do we get to export recordings, transcripts and reports? In what form, and on what date is everything else deleted? Good answer: A number of days, a file format and a deletion date, all in the contract.
8. How would this be priced? Per hire, per seat, per interview, or as one flat platform fee? What is included in that figure, and what costs extra? Good answer: A written figure with everything it covers, before the demo ends.

HackerRank Chakra, CodeSignal, Talview Ivy or HireVue, or buy nothing

The closest alternatives to Glider AI are HackerRank Chakra, CodeSignal, Talview Ivy and HireVue. Buying nothing is a fifth option.

Glider, HackerRank Chakra, CodeSignal and Talview Ivy all grew out of skills testing. Talview came from exam proctoring. Talview Ivy and HireVue both sell their interviewer as part of a larger hiring platform. That suits you if you already use one of those platforms. Then you avoid signing a new contract on its own.

CodeSignal is worth a look if you want a published price. Its entry plan starts at $79 a month, billed annually. It covers interviewers built around product, design and engineering roles. CodeSignal counts the interview against the same pool as its coding tests. Glider gives you no figure to start from.

HackerRank Chakra is better known for testing code than for interviewing. If your hiring is almost entirely technical, its report is the one worth comparing line for line. Expect a planning call and a security review before Talview Ivy or HireVue gives you a quote.

Buying nothing is worth weighing if your hiring is not concentrated in technical, contract or high-volume roles. That is where Glider names its own buyers. Outside those roles, a new interview tool may not pay for itself. A recorded one-way interview, or a human recruiter with a coding test, may meet the same need. In New York City, the bias audit and the candidate notices fall on the employer, not the vendor.
