Humanly

Scores are traceable, and most customers start within two weeks

Its case studies cover the older screen, and no bias audit is published

Humanly was founded in Seattle in August 2018. It has bought four other companies in under two years. It bought Teamable in May 2024, then Qualifi, Sprockets and HourWork together in October 2025. The largest of its funding rounds was a $25 million Series B led by SEEK Investments. MassMutual Catalyst Fund, Drive Capital and Zeal Capital Partners also took part. No lawsuit, regulator complaint or layoff has been reported against Humanly, HumanlyHR or Qualifi.

It suits volume hiring for hourly and frontline roles

No published price, and two days after the contract to export data

Qualifi's pricing page offers a form to request a quote. It gives a discount for paying yearly, and 15% off for non-profits. Humanly says the whole company is moving toward charging by the candidate or by the hire. It has not set a dollar figure yet.

What you sign renews every year unless either side gives ninety days' written notice. Humanly's contract caps how much your price can rise at each renewal. The cap is up to 3% on top of the rise in US consumer prices, excluding food and energy. That applies once a year, from your first anniversary. If a dispute comes up, the most Humanly pays you is what you paid in the last twelve months. The contract runs under Washington law.

Humanly sets no floor on company size or seats. Your hiring volume and the type of role matter more than your size.

Its contract gives you two days after your contract ends to take out what is in your account. That covers recordings, transcripts and scores. Humanly has no duty to hand over anything beyond that, in any other form. Plan your export before your contract ends.

What should you ask Humanly before you sign?

1. Which steps can end on the score alone once we turn this on? Who on our side can set or change that score line? Good answer: A list of steps, one named admin, and a log of every change.
2. Which results you have shown us come from this live interview, not Qualifi's older phone screen? Good answer: A named customer using the live interview, with its own figures.
3. When will the Workday and UKG connections be finished? What happens to our plan if that date slips? Good answer: A written date, and a way out of the contract if it slips.
4. What can we take out in the two days after our contract ends, and in what format? Good answer: Recordings, transcripts and scores, in a common file format.
5. Has an outside firm audited this live interview for bias? Will you share that audit for our own roles? Good answer: Yes, with the auditor’s name, the date and the report.
6. Our price can rise each year by up to 3% on top of inflation. What does that come to in dollars? Good answer: A dollar figure written into our contract, not just the formula.
7. Is our price fixed for this contract, or will you move us onto per-candidate pricing? Good answer: Fixed for the whole term, in writing.
8. Which languages can it hold a live conversation in today? Good answer: A written list of the languages it speaks, not just translates.

Alternatives to Humanly, including buying nothing

Your closest alternatives to Humanly are Apriora, HeyMilo, Ribbon and HireVue. Buying nothing is a fifth option.

If a published price matters, put Ribbon beside Humanly. Ribbon's starting plan costs $499 a month and covers 100 interviews. Beyond that, it charges $4.00 an interview. You can price your own Ribbon bill from your monthly applicant count, with no call needed first.

Apriora and HeyMilo also say they can catch a stand-in for the candidate, or a coached answer, at volume. Their case studies describe the product you would sign up for.

HireVue is the pick if you want the interview inside a larger hiring suite. Buying nothing yet is a fair choice too. It fits if your hiring rarely reaches the volume Humanly is built for. It also fits if your recruiters already handle the phone screens they get. Our market guide sets out the case for spending nothing this year.
