HeyMilo AI

HeyMilo screens and interviews job applicants on a company's behalf across four channels — resume parsing, structured forms, two-way SMS, and two-way voice/video interviews — then writes a scored, transcript-backed report back into the employer's ATS. It's built for volume: the pitch is running hundreds of structured first-round interviews a day rather than the handful a recruiter can do by phone. Recruiters set the criteria and scoring rubric; HeyMilo runs the conversation and returns a ranked shortlist with per-competency reasoning, a PDF report, and (per the vendor) a trust/integrity score per candidate. Docs are public at docs.heymilo.ai and a REST/webhook API plus an MCP server (for Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT) exposes transcripts, scores, and integrity signals programmatically.

Two things stand out as real engineering/process choices rather than marketing claims. First, HeyMilo deliberately locks an interview's question set and sequence once candidates start taking it — you can update scoring weights retroactively (which re-scores everyone), but you cannot edit the questions or their order mid-run. The vendor's stated reasoning is that changing questions mid-cohort silently creates two different tests and makes rankings incomparable, a real risk with high-volume screening tools that let you edit templates freely.

Second, HeyMilo pays for continuous third-party bias auditing through Warden AI, and the results are on a public dashboard, not just claimed: as of the latest audit (Sep 9, 2026, sample size 22,914 interviews), all 15 tracked bias categories — sex, race/ethnicity, intersectional, age, disability, and others — read "Clear," with separate audit reports mapped to NYC Local Law 144, the EU AI Act, Colorado SB 26-189, and California FEHA. Source: trust.warden-ai.com/heymilo/ai-candidate-screening. Warden AI is a paid vendor to HeyMilo, so this isn't a fully disinterested audit, but the methodology, sample size, and monthly cadence are disclosed and independently verifiable by any buyer, which is more than most competitors in this category publish.

Launched September 24, 2026, HeyMilo Red is a separate product (its own console, its own API keys) that scans any interview recording — from Zoom, Teams, Meet, or a notetaker export — for deepfakes, face swaps, off-screen reading, and coached answers, cross-checking video, audio, and transcript before flagging anything. It never auto-rejects a candidate; every scan returns proceed/review/reject plus timestamped evidence for a human to check. Unlike the core HeyMilo platform, Red's pricing is public and usage-based: free tier with roughly 300 minutes of analysis a month, a $59/month Growth plan for roughly 3,000 minutes (then $0.04/minute), and custom Enterprise pricing above that.

HeyMilo holds SOC 2 Type II (per the current homepage trust badges) and states it is GDPR compliant, both audited with the help of compliance vendor Delve. The SOC 2 status has changed over time: an April 2025 blog post announced only SOC 2 Type I with Type II "in progress," and the site now shows Type II achieved — consistent with a completed upgrade, not a discrepancy. Source: blog.heymilo.ai/heymilo-achieves-soc-2-type-1-compliance-what-it-is-why-it-matters-for-your-business; heymilo.ai/book-a-demo (current trust badges). We could not independently verify the underlying SOC 2 report or GDPR certificate: HeyMilo's own trust center (trust.heymilo.ai) returned HTTP 429 on every attempt during this review, and the vendor states elsewhere that certification documents are only provided on request to [email protected] rather than published.

HeyMilo's case studies are detailed and attributed to named people, which is better than generic testimonials, but every number comes from HeyMilo's own case-study pages, not from an independent source. Examples: Wilson (a staffing/RPO firm) reports 4x more placements, 82% faster time-to-hire, and 4.7/5 candidate CSAT after deploying HeyMilo across a real hiring program (heymilo.ai/customers/wilson). TRG Staffing Solutions is credited with a roughly 90% screening cost reduction and Inergroup with 80+ recruiter hours freed weekly, both cited only as homepage stat call-outs without a linked source page for the underlying calculation. HeyMilo's own headline claims — "1.4M+ candidates screened," and a monthly independent-audit sample of 22,914 interviews — are consistent with each other in scale but neither is corroborated by a source outside HeyMilo. We attempted to check G2, Capterra, TrustRadius, and Crunchbase for independent reviews or funding data; all four returned HTTP 403 (blocked) during this review, so no independent review or funding figure could be confirmed either way.

The core HeyMilo platform (screening, interviewing, ATS integrations) has no public pricing anywhere on heymilo.ai — every path leads to "Book a Demo." This is a real limitation for a buyer trying to compare options before committing time to a sales call, and it's the one area where HeyMilo Red (see above) is the exception, not the rule.
