Talview

Overview

Talview combines exam integrity controls with structured interviewing for organizations making high-stakes certification, assessment, or hiring decisions. It is a stronger fit for institutions running candidate programs at scale than for small teams seeking a standalone interview tool. Its breadth is useful; the candidate-based commitment and custom pricing make cost a key buying question.

Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Menlo Park, California, Talview serves certification bodies, test publishers, enterprises, and licensing organizations across more than 120 countries.

Key features

Exam proctoring and interviews

Automated proctoring combines identity checks with a secondary camera and produces an integrity score within 24 hours of an exam. These controls suit remote, high-stakes assessments, though a score delivered after the exam will not support decisions that need to be made during it. Ivy AI conducts structured interviews with built-in trust controls, giving organizations a way to apply a consistent interview process alongside assessment workflows.

Talview supports live and asynchronous interviews, recording, and interview templates. That range can accommodate different hiring processes, from scheduled conversations to candidate responses completed at another time.

Integrations and security

Integrations span learning management systems, applicant tracking and talent management, assessment, meeting, calendar, and payment tools. Named connections include Moodle, Canvas, Skilljar, Workday, Greenhouse, Zoom, Outlook Calendar, Google Calendar, and Stripe. REST APIs, embedded JavaScript, and mobile SDKs provide options for custom integrations, which may matter to organizations fitting Talview into established systems.

Talview says it uses physical and technical safeguards to protect personal information. Its Trust Center lists GDPR, GDPR-K, PDPA, CCPA, AICPA, EEOC, LGPD, and ISO 27001 compliance. These are relevant considerations for organizations handling candidate data across regions, but buyers should assess their own compliance requirements.

Pricing

Tailored solution pricing

Talview uses unit-based custom pricing, with buyers choosing individual features or bundles. A typical minimum commitment is approximately 150 to 200 candidates, and pilot charges may apply above 10 candidates. Price depends on candidate count and selected features, so the model is better suited to organizations able to scope a substantial program than to teams needing a low-cost, small-volume option.

Talview advertises a limited-time free trial for its Moodle proctoring integration. That is a narrow way to evaluate one integration, not a general free plan; it does not remove the need to clarify the cost of a broader deployment.

Platforms

Talview supports web, iOS, Android, and API access. Recruiters can use mobile apps on iOS and Android, and candidates can complete interviews and assessments on mobile devices. Around-the-clock candidate support for test-taking questions is a practical advantage for programs serving participants across time zones.

Who it's for

Talview is most compelling for certification bodies, test publishers, enterprises, and licensing organizations that need remote exam controls as well as structured hiring interviews. Its integrations and APIs also suit teams connecting candidate workflows to existing learning, recruiting, assessment, or meeting systems. Smaller employers or organizations with fewer than the typical candidate minimum should weigh that commitment against their actual volume.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Identity checks, secondary-camera support, and an integrity score add several verification measures for high-stakes remote exams.
• Pros: Structured AI interviewing sits alongside live and asynchronous interviews, recording, and templates, covering multiple evaluation formats.
• Pros: Broad integration categories, named connections, REST APIs, and SDKs offer flexibility for established workflows.
• Pros: Mobile candidate access and round-the-clock test-taking support help serve distributed programs.
• Cons: Custom pricing, possible pilot charges above 10 candidates, and a typical 150-to-200-candidate minimum can put the product out of reach for smaller programs.
• Cons: The integrity score arrives within 24 hours after an exam, which may be too slow for immediate decisions.
• Cons: The advertised free trial is limited to the Moodle proctoring integration and is available for a limited time.

Alternatives

Choose Qualtrics if your priority is surveys and you want a free individual plan capped at one user, three active surveys, 30 questions per survey, and 500 total responses. Choose Avature, Eightfold Talent Intelligence, or iCIMS as paid alternatives for recruiting workflows.

Amply is a paid, web-based alternative. inploi uses custom pricing based on hiring size rather than per application or hire. Jobylon offers an ATS with pricing dependent on team size and selected modules.

Verdict

Choose Talview if your organization runs sizable, high-stakes candidate programs and wants exam proctoring, structured interviews, integrations, and mobile access in one solution. The main reason to look elsewhere is the custom, candidate-based pricing and typical minimum commitment, especially if your program is small or you need a prompt, predictable quote.
