ASTRNT

ASTRNT is a hiring and selection platform for employers and universities that brings interviews, assessments and candidate scoring into one workflow. It suits teams seeking structured evaluation across Asia-Pacific, as well as product builders embedding those capabilities through an API. Its broad assessment toolkit is balanced by a modest free response allowance and no interviewer coaching.

Overview

ASTRNT has served employers and universities since 2016. Its Recommends feature combines CV, psychometric assessment and video interview scores into a role-fit score, with a justification for the candidate ranking. That gives teams a consistent way to compare applicants, but recommendations should support rather than replace human hiring judgment.

Key features

Interviews and assessments

Structured AI video interviews can collect video, text, audio or screen-recorded responses. Assessment questions can be video, multiple choice or free text, in Bahasa or English. This range lets teams choose different response formats for different roles; the two supported languages make the platform a better fit for Bahasa- and English-speaking candidate pools than for teams needing other languages.

Candidates can interview using a desktop, mobile device or tablet without a login or download. That removes setup steps for applicants, while AI auto-scoring and candidate scoring reports give recruiters a consistent basis for reviewing responses.

Recommendations and integrations

Recommends draws on CV, psychometric and video interview scores to produce a role-fit score and explain its ranking. This can help standardize comparisons, though it does not amount to interviewer coaching: ASTRNT has no such feature. ATS webhook integration connects it with hiring workflows, and APIs allow interviews, assessments and scoring to be embedded in another product. A free developer account is capped at 10 candidates in its dashboard, so builders evaluating beyond that volume need to account for the limit.

Security, data and support

ASTRNT lists ISO 27001 and GDPR compliance. Its privacy policy says personal information may be stored in Singapore, the United States or another country where the company stores information, a consideration for organizations with specific data-location requirements. Support handles candidate and recruiter tickets by email at [email protected].

Pricing

Free

The Free plan costs nothing and includes unlimited users and unlimited jobs, but only 5 candidate responses/month. It is a sensible way for small teams to assess the workflow or handle occasional hiring; the response cap will constrain sustained recruitment even though there is no user or job limit.

Applicant credits

Applicant credits cost $87.50, paid once, billed as one block of 25 credits. Additional credits are available at checkout. This one-time purchase gives teams a defined block beyond the free allowance without a recurring term stated for the plan, but teams with ongoing volume should consider whether repeated credit purchases suit their needs.

Enterprise

Enterprise has custom pricing through a customised proposal. It includes unlimited candidate responses, custom assessments, integrations and deeper analytics, making it the tier for organizations whose volume or workflow needs exceed the free and credit-based options. A published fixed price is not provided.

Platforms

ASTRNT supports web, iOS and Android, with API access for embedding its capabilities. The web and mobile options align with its ability to accept candidate responses across desktop, mobile and tablet; API users should note the free developer dashboard's 10-candidate limit.

Who it's for

ASTRNT is a strong fit for employers and universities that want structured interviews, varied assessment formats, scoring reports and role-fit recommendations in a single selection workflow. It also suits teams building interview or assessment features into their own products. It is less suitable for high-volume hiring on the free tier, users requiring interviewer coaching, or organizations that need personal information stored only in a particular country.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Multiple evaluation formats: video, multiple-choice and free-text assessments, alongside video, text, audio and screen-recorded interview responses, offer flexibility in how candidates demonstrate skills.
• Structured comparison: automated scoring, reports and Recommends' role-fit rationale give reviewers a common framework for candidate evaluation.
• Low-cost entry: the free plan allows unlimited users and jobs, while Applicant credits are sold as a one-time 25-credit block.
• Candidate and builder access: candidates can respond without logins or downloads, and APIs support embedding the workflow in another product.

Cons

• Small free quota: five candidate responses per month makes the no-cost plan better for occasional hiring than a steady pipeline.
• No interviewer coaching: teams looking to improve interviewer performance will need another tool or process.
• Limited language coverage: assessments support Bahasa and English, which may not fit multilingual hiring beyond those languages.
• Variable storage locations: personal information may be stored in Singapore, the United States or another country where ASTRNT stores information, which may not suit strict residency requirements.

Verdict

ASTRNT is a considered choice for employers, universities and product teams that need structured candidate evaluation, role-fit recommendations and API embedding. Its varied interview and assessment formats and unlimited users and jobs on the free tier are useful strengths, but five monthly responses make that tier a narrow starting point. Choose another solution if interviewer coaching is essential or if your data rules require a fixed storage location.
