Hirvana

Hirvana is a web-based candidate-screening system for business hiring teams that want resume parsing, structured scoring, and live AI interviews in one workflow. It is best suited to organizations screening enough applicants to benefit from automation but able to monitor usage-based charges. The free tier is useful for small hiring runs; Pro becomes less predictable once included quotas are exceeded.

Overview

Teams provide a link to a job description, then Hirvana evaluates resumes against that role, scores applicants, and ranks them against criteria selected by the hiring team. Live interviews use speech-to-speech AI and feed additional scores into the candidate assessment. That combination gives recruiters a broader screen than resume review alone, while keeping the hiring team responsible for defining sensible requirements and interpreting results.

Hirvana is intended for B2B use. It says it works alongside popular applicant-tracking, HR, and communication tools and supports ATS integrations, but it does not identify specific products. Compatibility should therefore be confirmed before purchase.

Key features

Resume analysis and ranking

Resume parsing and job-matching analysis can apply the same role criteria across applicants. Candidate scoring and ranking may make an initial shortlist more consistent, especially when a team has many resumes to review. The output still reflects the criteria chosen by the hiring team, so automation does not replace judgment about qualifications or fit.

Live AI interviews

Hirvana conducts live interviews through speech-to-speech AI and scores candidates as part of the screening workflow. This adds an interactive stage without requiring a recruiter to conduct every first interview. Pro includes only 10 AI-powered interviews monthly; higher-volume teams need to budget for the $80 charge per additional 20.

Security and reliability

Hirvana states that it is SOC 2 Type 2 compliant. Customer data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS, and the maker says it performs daily backups with point-in-time recovery. Interviews use WebRTC, described by Hirvana as providing end-to-end encryption for transmitted data. Its Terms also commit to applicable GDPR and CCPA compliance where legally required.

Pricing

Hirvana uses a freemium model. The Free plan costs nothing and includes 100 jobs, 100 candidates, 100 resume analyses, and 100 interview plans. That is a meaningful allowance for occasional hiring or a small team validating the workflow, but it is not a permanent high-volume operating plan.

Pro costs $100 a month, billed at $100/m and then pay-as-you-go. It includes 100 jobs, 100 candidates, and 100 resume analyses; each category beyond its allowance costs $5 per 100 jobs, $2.50 per 100 candidates, and $2.50 per 100 resume analyses. Interview plans are unlimited, while 10 AI-powered interviews are included and additional usage costs $80 per 20. Pro fits teams needing recurring screening and unlimited interview-plan creation, provided they can forecast and control overages.

Enterprise has custom pricing tailored for the business. It adds dedicated support, an uptime SLA, SSO support, an onboarding program, and a custom usage quota. Those terms make it the appropriate route for larger organizations requiring contractual service commitments and identity-management support.

Platforms

Hirvana runs on the web. Its stated ATS, HR, and communication-tool integrations may fit an existing recruiting stack, but named compatibility is not provided.

Who it's for

Hirvana suits business recruiting teams that want resume screening and AI-led first interviews in one browser-based process. The Free plan is practical for low-volume hiring; Pro is aimed at regular recruiting operations that can manage quota-based billing; Enterprise is for organizations needing SSO, onboarding, dedicated support, and an uptime SLA. It is a weaker fit for teams seeking a flat, fully predictable price at high interview volume.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Resume analysis, ranking, and live speech-to-speech interviews cover multiple screening stages in one workflow.
• Pro: The Free plan provides 100 jobs, candidates, resume analyses, and interview plans, enough for small-scale evaluation.
• Pro: SOC 2 Type 2, encryption, daily backups, and point-in-time recovery address core enterprise data concerns.
• Con: Pro overages apply across jobs, candidates, resumes, and interviews, making costs harder to predict as volume rises.
• Con: Only 10 AI-powered interviews are included with Pro before the $80-per-20 add-on.
• Con: Specific ATS and HR integrations are not named, so stack compatibility requires confirmation.

Alternatives

Candidate Screening Software is the broader category to browse when you want to compare more screening products.

Choose Humanly Intelligent CV Screening instead if a free tier with five job descriptions daily and up to 10 CVs per screening run matches your lighter workflow.

Rezmatch.ai is a better alternative when API access, résumé limits of two pages, or credits that never expire matter more than integrated interviews.

Pick SkipCV for a smaller free allowance capped at 20 credits and eight candidates per analysis.

Talsense suits teams wanting five AI interviews and 50 resume reviews monthly on its free plan, with unlimited jobs and team members.

Choose VeraHire when pay-as-you-go pricing of $0.25 per resume screening and $7 per AI interview, with no monthly commitment, is preferable.

CandiSift is an open-source, self-hosted option.

Job-Eval is a free, open-source self-hosted alternative with CPU or GPU operation.

Octagnt is another freemium screening option with a free allowance of one role and one requisition each month.

Verdict

Choose Hirvana if you want resume matching, ranked candidates, and AI-scored live interviews in one web workflow, with a substantial free starting allowance. Look elsewhere if interview volume will quickly exceed Pro’s 10 included sessions or if your organization requires clearly named integrations and a more predictable all-in price.
