How we pick vendors for coverage
The 10-platform comparison matrix is built from vendors that meet at least two of four inclusion criteria: (1) presence in the G2 or Capterra leader quadrant for AI Recruiting or Video Interviewing in the last 12 months; (2) native or certified-API integration listed in the Workday, Greenhouse, or Lever partner directories; (3) a public case study with a recognisable employer of more than 1,000 employees; (4) acquisition or material corporate activity in the last 36 months that affects the buyer's evaluation (Modern Hire / LTIMindtree, for example).
Coverage is reviewed quarterly. A vendor that no longer meets at least two criteria is removed from the matrix and the per-page review is archived rather than deleted. New vendors that meet the threshold are added at the next quarterly review.
How we verify pricing
Enterprise AI interviewer platforms do not publish list prices. The reasons are commercial: pricing is volume-based, negotiated case by case, and bundled with services, integration scope, and contract length. Vendors actively discourage public pricing disclosure because list-price transparency removes a key lever in the sales motion. As a result, published pricing on this site is reported as a typical band, not a list price.
Pricing bands are sourced from four converging signals: (1) public RFP responses from US state and municipal procurement portals where AI interviewer tools are listed (NYC, California, Texas, Washington); (2) public case study disclosures where pricing was referenced by the vendor or the customer in a press release, analyst report, or earnings call; (3) Glassdoor and verified-customer review platforms where actual customer reports of contract value were filed; (4) sister-portfolio procurement data from cost-research properties that interact with the same buyer surface. Where the four signals converge inside a band, we publish the band. Where they conflict materially, we publish the wider band and flag the dispersion.
Every published pricing band carries a "verify directly" instruction. The bands are intended as a procurement anchor to test against the vendor quote, not a substitute for a real quote. The published bands as of May 2026: HireVue $35,000 to $100,000+ per year, Sapia.ai $15,000 to $60,000 per year, Paradox $25,000 to $150,000+ per year, Karat $250 to $400 per interview, Modern Hire enterprise-only with no published current band, myInterview from £149 per month, Spark Hire from $149 per month, Willo from £89 per month. Refresh cadence is quarterly.
How we verify compliance status
NYC AEDT audit publication is verified directly against the vendor's public Trust Center, support documentation, or compliance disclosure page. Where the vendor does not publish an audit at all, we record that and note the gap. Where the vendor publishes a legacy audit (Modern Hire, for example) without a current-year refresh, we flag the timing gap explicitly. NYC DCWP enforcement disclosures and public auditor registrations are cross-referenced where available.
EU AI Act conformity status is read from vendor Trust Centers, conformity assessment documentation where shared with the public or with prospects, and from the EU database of high-risk AI systems where vendors have registered. Where conformity documentation is not visible publicly, we record that the documentation must be requested from the vendor directly.
Bias audit independence claims, candidate notice templates, and data-retention defaults are verified from vendor documentation and, where possible, from the actual contractual terms exposed in public RFP responses. Where employment counsel review of a specific compliance question is available, that review is referenced and credited inline.
How we handle conflicts of interest
As of May 2026, agenticinterviewer.com has no affiliate, referral, or commission relationship with any of the 10 vendors covered. There are no sponsored slots in the comparison matrix. There is no pay-to-rank logic anywhere on the site. No vendor has previewed, edited, or approved content in advance of publication.
If an affiliate or referral relationship is added in the future, the policy will be: inline disclosure on every page that contains a paid link; blanket disclosure on the about page and on this methodology page; no change to ranking or scoring logic; and explicit notice in the affected vendor's review section. Ranking and scoring will not be influenced by commission rate.
Vendor outreach asking for inclusion, rating change, language softening, or removal of caveats is logged and refused. Threats of legal action are referred to counsel and do not change published positions unless the underlying factual claim is shown to be incorrect.
Refresh cadence
Pricing is refreshed quarterly. Compliance status is refreshed on the same quarterly cycle, plus event-driven refreshes when: a new bias audit is published by any vendor we cover; a new regulation in scope takes effect (EU AI Act phase rollouts, new US state laws, NYC DCWP rulemaking); a public enforcement action is filed against a vendor; or a material corporate event (acquisition, leadership change, product withdrawal) is announced.
The "Last verified" date in every page footer reflects the most recent full-site verification across pricing and compliance. Body-content statements like "as of April 2026" describing the historical state on a specific date are honest historical records and are not retro-edited when the page is re-verified. The current verification date is May 2026.
