Where HeyMilo stops

What HeyMilo costs, and what leaving looks like

HeyMilo bills by use, in units it calls “credits”. Interviews, CV screens and texts each use them. You can set a maximum spend for each job posting, as a daily or an all-time cap. A price list in US dollars appears once billing is set up for your account. Phone numbers and text screening are not in the trial plan. They come with a paid subscription.

Candidate Recommendations is a usage-based add-on with volume discounts. HeyMilo bases its estimate on the size of your database.

HeyMilo may change prices at any time. All payments are in US dollars. All purchases are non-refundable, and you can cancel a subscription at any time.

When you leave, HeyMilo must delete your company’s personal data within 10 business days of the end of the service. It must certify the deletion in writing within the same 10 days. You can export your data as CSV, Excel or JSON files, a ZIP package or a ZIP of PDFs. A candidate can ask for their own data to be deleted from the “My Data” link on their interview page. Where HeyMilo handles the data for an employer, the employer controls that request.

Eight questions to ask HeyMilo

1. What do an interview, a CV screen and a text cost on our plan, and what does our plan include before we pay per use? Good answer: A written price list for each type of use, and a spending cap we set.
2. Which settings let HeyMilo reject or move a candidate with no person involved, and who can change them? Good answer: A named list of settings, one locked admin role and a log of every change.
3. Will you give us the full Warden AI report, with figures for roles like ours? Good answer: The full report, plus the monthly figures, in writing.
4. How long do you keep recordings and transcripts, and can we choose the period? Good answer: A number of days that we set, written into the contract.
5. Which countries hold our candidates’ data, and what protects candidates from the EU and UK? Good answer: A named country for each service and a written basis for each transfer.
6. Which languages are covered for phone, video and text, in the countries we hire in? Good answer: A written list for each channel and country.
7. Will you raise the liability limit above six months of fees, and add an uptime promise? Good answer: A limit tied to the risk we carry and a written uptime figure.
8. When we leave, how do transcripts, recordings and scores reach us, and what must we delete ourselves? Good answer: Named file formats, a time window and the certificate of deletion that the data agreement promises.

Alternatives to HeyMilo

If HeyMilo leaves your shortlist, look at Apriora, Humanly, Maki People, Talview, HireVue and Metaview.

Apriora sells an assistant called Alex. Alex handles outreach, screening, interviewing, verification and scheduling, with your team in the loop at every step. Humanly is AI recruiting software for hourly, frontline and high-volume hiring. It covers engagement, screening, scheduling and AI interviews.

Maki People is a layer of AI assistants that plugs into your hiring system. It is not a hiring system itself. Its Mochi assistant runs the recruiter phone screen. Maki prices for enterprise hiring, tailored to the organisation. Talview’s Ivy is an AI interviewer that runs structured conversations for a role. Ivy has SOC 2 Type II certification.

HireVue’s AI Interviewer interviews every applicant by voice, at any hour. Metaview reviews every applicant against a profile it builds from the job description. It supports eight hiring systems and also runs a short AI voice interview.

If you use a hiring system, ask its maker whether AI screening is included in what you pay now. If you get few applicants, buying nothing is also a fair answer. A recruiter can read every CV at that size, and you carry no contract risk.
