Simplehire vs HeyMilo: published prices or multichannel screening

We make Simplehire, so read this as one vendor's comparison. HeyMilo is a high-volume screening platform that runs AI voice and video interviews, SMS and form screens, with results synced into ATS tools such as Bullhorn and Avionté, and no published prices. Simplehire is an AI voice screening interview in the candidate's browser, with proctoring on every screen, published prices from $2 per screen and no contract.

HeyMilo covers more channels and does more ATS work. Simplehire is narrower, and built for the step before a recruiter submits a candidate to a client.

Everything we say about HeyMilo comes from HeyMilo's own website, checked on 19 October 2026 and linked in the sources below.

How do Simplehire and HeyMilo compare?

When is HeyMilo the better choice?

HeyMilo makes more sense when:

• You hire at high volume across channels. Its home page describes voice, video, SMS and form screening running 24/7, and its phone interview page says candidates can take the interview on a live call or through a browser audio link.
• Your agency runs on Bullhorn, Avionté or JobDiva. HeyMilo's Bullhorn page describes a two-way sync: candidate data flows in, interview reports land in candidate Notes, skills and categories update, and a JobSubmission is created with Response status. The sync interval can be anywhere from every 5 minutes to once a day.
• You want answers checked for AI use. HeyMilo's cheat detection page describes classifiers that flag answers generated with ChatGPT or other AI tools, alongside voice authentication and proctoring signals rolled into a trust score. Simplehire doesn't judge answers for AI use.
• You want a client-ready package. HeyMilo's staffing page says every candidate gets a branded submission package with the interview recording, transcript, scored rationale and a tearsheet, and that it can run re-screen campaigns against your ATS database.
• You want on-camera interviews. HeyMilo's video interviews score candidates on presence, communication and fit, per its video page.

Its demo page also lists SOC 2 Type II and a monthly AI bias audit.

When is Simplehire the better choice?

Simplehire fits better when you want to start without a sales process, or when the risk you're managing is the wrong person in the interview.

• You can see the price before you talk to anyone. Basic is $2, Adaptive $3 and Advanced $5 per screen, with 25 free Basic screens a month, no credit card and no contract. You can start free without a demo.
• The checks are evidence a recruiter can look at. Every screen runs in enforced full-screen and records leaving it, tab switches, focus loss and paste attempts with timestamps. Audio is recorded and alerts come with screenshots. We flag events for a person to review and don't score answers for AI use. How to spot a proxy interview covers what to look for in that review.
• You can add identity and environment checks per role. The ID check compares a government ID with a live face match before the interview. A paired second device gives a side-camera view of the candidate and their desk. On supported Windows and Mac interviews, desktop proctoring has candidates close risky applications such as remote-desktop tools before they start.
• Depth follows the role. Adaptive adds follow-up questions for technical and client-submission roles, and Advanced has an optional coding round, scored separately.

The report opens with a verdict, then skills demonstrated, strengths and areas to probe. A recruiter reviews it and makes every hiring decision.

Where we fall short: no ATS integrations today, no SMS or phone-call screening, and no video interviews. If you need Bullhorn or Avionté sync, HeyMilo is the better fit.

How do you test both?

HeyMilo starts with a demo, so run Simplehire's free screens while you wait for it.

1. Pick three or four live reqs, including at least one remote technical role you'd submit to a client.
2. In the HeyMilo demo, ask for the price at your monthly volume, the contract length, how voice authentication works, and how its trust score is built for your roles.
3. Set up the same roles in Simplehire with their required skills. Use the 25 free Basic screens a month for volume roles and Adaptive ($3) for the technical one.
4. Split applicants between the tools so no candidate interviews twice.
5. Track recruiter minutes per decision, how many candidates you submit, client feedback, and every integrity flag or alert that changed a decision.
