Hello Recruiter vs HeyMilo
Hello Recruiter runs interviews live, with every score opening to the transcript or code behind it. HeyMilo screens by phone, video, and SMS for high-volume teams.
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.

Questions before switching.
Is Hello Recruiter a replacement for HeyMilo?
Yes, across a wider range of roles. HeyMilo screens by phone, video, and SMS for high-volume teams. Hello Recruiter runs live interviews in formats like panel, rapid-fire, and presentation for general roles, plus MAX's live coding interviews and vibe-coding assessment for technical roles.
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: risk and concerns, proficiency signals, requirement match.
How does Hello Recruiter's pricing compare to HeyMilo's?
Hello Recruiter prices per organization, so cost doesn't scale with how many candidates you screen. HeyMilo prices per completed interview and doesn't publish rates publicly.
Which ATS does Hello Recruiter connect to?
Hello Recruiter connects to Greenhouse and Ashby and others on roadmap, syncing full interview reports and skill evidence straight to the candidate record.
Can we run both during evaluation?
Yes. Neither requires exclusive ATS ownership, so you can run both on the same open role and compare scored shortlists before choosing one.
