Metaview Screening
Screening is Metaview’s AI interviewer. It holds a short interview with each candidate by phone or laptop, on their own time. The score comes only from the transcript. A recruiter decides every hire. The one exception is a setting that rejects a candidate who misses the deadline. It connects to 34 tracking systems. Metaview publishes no price for it.
Screening scores each candidate from the transcript. A recruiter decides every hire, except a missed deadline. You pay by the interview, not by the seat.
You run one of the 34 tracking systems Screening connects to. You want the first interview to happen with nobody scheduling a call.
You need a price before you call sales. You want candidates offered a way to decline the interview by default, not by a setting your team turns on.
Not published. Metaview charges once an interview is finished and scored. Every account gets its first 25 interviews free. After that, you buy packs that expire, at a price Metaview does not publish.
It scores from the transcript, and a recruiter decides
Screening asks the questions your team wrote. The candidate answers alone, any time before the deadline you set, from a phone or a laptop. Nobody has to schedule a call on either side. It asks a follow-up when an answer is vague. It can move off script to ask a situational or a behavioural question. It runs in 18 languages. Candidates can interrupt it, ask it to repeat a question, or ask for something explained. They can do this the way they would with a person.
Your team writes the interview plan and the scoring guide behind it. Or your team edits a draft that Metaview writes from the job description. Nothing reaches a candidate until your team publishes it. You can test it first.
Your recruiter gets four things for each candidate. They are a recording, a transcript, a written summary and a rating. The rating is Great, Good, Okay, Poor or Inconclusive. Each question also gets its own note, linked to the point in the transcript where the candidate said it.
A separate check looks for fraud. It scans the transcript for a scripted answer, or a sign of outside help, including another AI tool. It also checks the interview against the profile the candidate applied with. The result comes back as low, medium or high risk. It comes with the reasoning and a link to the moment it happened.
Screening pulls each candidate from the tracking system you connect. It sends the decision and the notes back once your recruiter decides. Metaview names 34 systems, among them Greenhouse, Lever, SAP SuccessFactors, iCIMS and BambooHR. For two of them, Crelate and Workday, the decision is recorded in Metaview but not sent back. Your team can also start a screening round from inside Claude or ChatGPT, the AI chat tools. Fraud signals can be checked from there too.
Our market guide lists which other products hand the final decision to a person, and which do not.
The score ignores faces, and a monthly bias audit is public
The score never sees a candidate’s face
Video never changes the score. Audio only supplies the words that get scored. This holds whether the camera is on, optional or off. An accent, a nervous pause or a bad camera changes nothing about the score.
An outside auditor publishes a bias check every month
Warden AI checks Screening for bias every month. It publishes the result on a page anyone can open. The latest check was on 17 August 2026, and it covered 10,080 interviews. It rated sex bias, race and ethnicity bias, and the two combined. All 28 group comparisons came back Clear. That page also covers New York City’s Local Law 144. That law requires a bias audit before you screen anyone with a tool like this. It also requires a notice to candidates.
A fraud flag means look again, not reject
A candidate who is simply well prepared can trip the same flag as one who is cheating. So can a candidate who is not speaking their first language. Metaview also stops a question or a scoring note from touching a protected trait, such as race or age. It still tells you to check your own questions too.
A missed deadline can reject, and the terms predate Screening
Metaview Global Ltd is the UK company behind Screening. Its American parent owns 75% or more of its shares and votes. Metaview says it has raised $50 million in total. That includes a $35 million round in June 2025 led by GV, Google’s venture arm. No lawsuit naming this company turns up in the court record.
A missed deadline is the one automatic rejection
Every rating waits for your recruiter to click Progress or Reject. The exception is a setting that is off unless your team turns it on. It rejects a candidate who does not finish in time. It is never triggered by what they said or how they scored. Decide who on your side can turn it on and off.
Its terms of service date from June 2023
Metaview last updated its terms of service in June 2023, more than three years before Screening existed. Once you sign, the contract renews itself. Each renewal lasts one year, or the first term if that was shorter. Either side can stop that with thirty days’ written notice. The terms say plainly, “We cannot guarantee the Services will be available at all times.” Its data agreement covers three other Metaview products. Get a section written for Screening before you sign.
Candidates can decline only if your team turns on a link
A candidate can decline the AI interview only if your invitation email carries a link for that. That link is off unless your team turns it on. Metaview’s own advice is to turn it on where the law requires it. Metaview’s guide for candidates only tells them to write to your hiring team. Give candidates your own route to a human interviewer or a disability adjustment.
A required camera is your choice to make
Metaview’s own advice is to think before you require a camera. An optional or audio-only setting is usually the kinder choice. What a candidate says is normally enough to judge them against the job. A required camera also raises questions of comfort and access.
It suits Metaview customers and roles with fifty or more applicants
Current Metaview customers already have it in their account
If your recruiters use Metaview to record and write up their own interviews, Screening is already in that account. It needs no new supplier and no new contract before you test it.
Metaview says it does most good at fifty applicants a role
It works best where a CV alone cannot tell you who can do the job.
It covers hourly and professional roles alike
Metaview gives examples from truck drivers and care givers to salespeople who close deals. That covers hourly and professional work in one product.
Metaview sells prepaid interview packs at an unpublished price
Metaview sells interviews in packs you buy in advance and use one at a time. A pack is charged only when a candidate finishes the interview and it is scored. You can build, publish and test a screen before you pay anything.
Metaview’s September 2026 update gave every account its first 25 candidate screens free. After that, you buy packs from inside the product. A pack expires rather than carrying over forever. If your paid interviews run out while a candidate is mid-interview, Metaview finishes that interview anyway. It bills you once you buy more. For high volume, Metaview’s own guidance is to talk to its sales team.
Metaview publishes wider pricing, from free up to $300 a user a month. That covers the rest of what it sells, its sourcing tool among them. It does not include Screening.
Metaview publishes no minimum company size for Screening, and names no seat count you have to hit. Its own FAQ says the product is for anyone involved in hiring, from large employers to small agencies. The case studies under “screening” on Metaview’s site describe its other products. One scores CVs. The other writes up interviews your own people run. Candidates rate Screening 4.7 out of 5, a figure not tied to any named company. Get a named customer result before this goes into a business case.
When you leave, Metaview’s data agreement requires it to delete your candidates’ personal data, or return it if you choose. This happens when your contract ends, or whenever you ask in writing. The law may make it keep some data. Its privacy policy keeps job-application records while the hiring process runs, then for up to 24 months more. Your recruiters can delete a single interview at any time. That removes it for everyone in your account, and it cannot be undone. To clear everything at once, have Metaview’s privacy team set up a rule that deletes it all.
You could also build a screen, an interview and a debrief on your own tracking system. We have mapped what that looks like. See it as an agent
What should you ask before you switch it on?
- When we require a camera, what is it actually used for? Does any of it change the score? Good answer: No. The score still comes from the transcript, whatever you switch on.
- Who on our side can turn on the setting that rejects a candidate for missing the deadline? Good answer: One named admin, and a log we can read.
- Who decides whether our candidates get the option to decline the AI interview? Good answer: A named owner on our side, written into the setup.
- What happens if a candidate wants a human interviewer instead? What if they need a disability adjustment? Good answer: A route besides writing to our hiring team directly.
- Once our free interviews run out, what does a further pack cost? What happens to interviews we paid for but never used? Good answer: A written price, and packs that do not expire before we can use them.
- Which of our systems get the decision sent back automatically? Which ones only get the interview recorded inside Metaview? Good answer: A list naming both groups, including where our own system falls.
- Your bias audit runs every month and is published. Can you share that data scoped to our own roles? Good answer: Yes, in writing, before we sign.
- When our contract ends, what is the window to export recordings, transcripts and scores? In what file format? Good answer: A stated number of days, in a common file format such as CSV.
Alternatives to Metaview Screening, including buying nothing
The closest alternatives to Screening are Greenhouse Voice AI, Ribbon, HeyMilo and Tengai. Buying nothing yet is a fifth option.
Greenhouse Voice AI works deepest inside Greenhouse Recruiting. It is also sold on its own. If you run Greenhouse, pick the tool your recruiters already open every day.
Ribbon publishes its price. Its plans start at $499 a month, which covers up to 100 interviews. Beyond that limit, it charges $4.00 an interview. You can work out the bill before you call a salesperson.
HeyMilo can move a candidate forward on their score in six systems. It can also archive or reject them in Workday, Bullhorn and Avionté. Someone on your team has to switch that on. Tengai starts from an assessment, not from a tracking system.
Buying nothing is a real option too. It fits if your roles rarely draw fifty or more applicants each. It also fits if your recruiters keep up without it. In New York City, the bias audit and the candidate notices fall on the employer, not the vendor. Metaview’s own monthly audit covers one piece of that paperwork.
