Hello Recruiter vs Metaview
Hello Recruiter runs the full interview live, coding included, with every score opening to the transcript or code behind it. Metaview's Screening product runs a live voice interview but has no coding or technical-assessment capability.
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.
Side by side.

Yes
Partial
Not offered
You want live interviews across multiple styles, from panel and rapid-fire rounds to live coding, not one generic voice Q&A format
You want a live technical round where MAX watches candidates write, run, and debug code in real time, something Metaview doesn't offer at all
Vibe coding and take-home review need to be part of the technical loop
You want transparent, per-org pricing with a free plan, not a custom-quoted bundle
You want one focused interviewing agent, not one product inside a six-product platform
Questions before switching.
Is Hello Recruiter a replacement for Metaview?
Yes, across a wider range of roles. Metaview's Screening product runs a genuine live, two-way voice interview against a rubric for any role, but has no coding or technical-assessment capability. 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, where a recruiter watches candidates write, run, and debug in a real IDE, plus vibe coding and take-home review.
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. Metaview's Screening interviews happen through the browser, on the candidate's own schedule before a deadline.
How does Hello Recruiter's pricing compare to Metaview's?
Hello Recruiter prices per organization, with a free plan and paid plans starting at $29. Metaview's Notes and full agent platform are custom quoted with no published rate, and Screening runs on a credit system with free starter credits but no published price per credit. Its separate Sourcing product does have public pricing, starting at $100 per user per month.
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. Neither requires exclusive ATS ownership, so you can run both on the same open role and compare scored shortlists before choosing one.
