Hello Recruiter vs Aspect
Hello Recruiter runs the interview itself, live, with every score opening to the transcript or code behind it. Aspect doesn't run interviews at all, it's a notetaker for interviews your team already conducts.
Interviews run live, not on a recording
Every score opens to its transcript or code
Candidates always know it's AI
I’d separate retrieval quality from generation quality, then baseline each.
Strong production depth with clear evaluation discipline.
Why Hello Recruiter
Hello Recruiter runs the entire interview live, evaluates candidates the way the role actually works, and leaves the final call to a person.
Interviews happen in real time, not as one-way recordings, and every result comes back with a summary and skill evidence, never an automatic advance or reject.
Coding rounds run live too, with candidates writing, running, debugging, and explaining their code as they go, alongside take-home review and vibe-coding assessments that score how someone works with AI, not just what they submit.
Multiple interview styles, from panel rounds to system design, let the format match the role instead of forcing one script on every candidate. Every interview runs in 30+ languages, and candidates know they're talking to AI before it starts.

You need something to actually run and score the interview, not just take notes on one your team runs
You want live interviews across multiple styles, from panel and rapid-fire rounds to live coding, not a notetaker layered on top of whatever you already do
You want live coding interviews where MAX watches candidates write, run, and debug code in real time
Vibe coding and take-home review need to be part of the technical loop
You want a flat, per-org price instead of a plan that scales with your interview volume
Questions before switching.
Is Hello Recruiter a replacement for Aspect?
Not really the same category, and Hello Recruiter covers more ground either way. Aspect doesn't conduct interviews; it joins interviews your team already runs on Zoom, Meet, or Teams and produces notes and summaries. Hello Recruiter's ARIA runs live interviews in formats like panel, rapid-fire, and presentation for general roles, and MAX conducts live coding interviews for technical rounds, both handing back a full report.
Does Hello Recruiter offer phone interviews?
Yes, live today through ARIA Telephony. Candidates get a text instead of a link, reply READY, and get an immediate callback, scored with the same report structure as a standard web ARIA interview. Aspect has no phone or interviewing capability of its own.
How does Hello Recruiter's pricing compare to Aspect's?
Hello Recruiter prices per organization, with a free plan and paid plans starting at $29. Aspect offers a free trial of 5 interviews, then published plans starting at $49/month for 20 interviews, scaling up with volume.
Which ATS does Hello Recruiter connect to?
Hello Recruiter connects to Greenhouse and Ashby with others on roadmap, syncing full interview reports and skill evidence straight to the candidate record.
Can we run both during evaluation?
Yes, and they solve different problems. Hello Recruiter can run the interview itself, while Aspect can sit on top of any human-run interviews you keep in the process.
