The Willo alternative

Willo screens with one-way video. Talyi screens, interviews and hires — end to end.

Willo is a focused async screening tool: candidates record answers to your questions — video, audio, text or file — and Willo's AI ranks them against your criteria. It's clean and it scales, but it stops at screening and sits beside the ATS you already run. Talyi does the async video screen too — scored per skill — then joins the live interview with a scorecard, reads and ranks every résumé, and is the ATS itself. One platform, free to start.

A screening step vs the whole hire

Willo does one part of hiring well. Talyi does that part and everything around it, in one system.

Two products, two scopes

Both screen candidates on video. One is a screening step; the other is the whole hiring platform.

Talyi

Complete hiring platform (ATS) · free to start
  • Reads & ranks every applicant against the scorecard, with a plain-English reason
  • Async audio/video screens scored per skill, plus a live interview copilot with a scorecard forming in real time
  • A full ATS — post a role, careers page, applicant pipeline
  • ~Fewer async answer formats than Willo's multi-format library

  • AI ranks answers against a role blueprint with evidence; large assessment-template library; built for high volume
  • No live interview or live copilot — recorded answers only
  • Not an ATS — no résumé ranking, no job posting; it plugs into the ATS you already use

Pay for hiring, not job slots

Willo prices by how many roles you're screening for at once. Talyi starts free and scales with how much you actually hire.

Where your candidate data is processed

Interview and résumé data is sensitive. Talyi's AI runs on infrastructure we own — it doesn't leave for a third-party cloud or an outside model provider.

Talyi

Self-hosted AI · your data stays in our datacenter
  • Résumés, audio and video are processed by AI running on infrastructure we own and operate
  • Not sent to a third-party cloud or external model provider — and never used to train outside models
  • One place your candidate data lives

Willo

Public-cloud SaaS · strong compliance posture
  • Runs as public-cloud SaaS; its AI model provider isn't publicly disclosed
  • States ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR compliance, with regional data storage
  • Your candidate data also lives in the separate ATS it connects to

The honest take

Talyi is a better fit if…

You want the whole hire in one system
  • You want to screen on video, interview live and read/rank résumés — all in the ATS
  • You'd rather run plan → screen → interview → decide in one place than bolt a screener onto a separate ATS
  • You want to start free and pay for what you hire

Willo is a strong fit if…

You just need high-volume one-way screening on top of an ATS
  • You already have an ATS and want a clean, affordable async screener bolted on
  • You value multi-format answers (audio/text/file/multiple-choice) and a big template library
  • Your bottleneck is screening volume, not running interviews or ranking résumés

Start free — screen, interview and hire in one place

Run the async video screen, join the live interview with a scorecard that writes itself, and rank every applicant — without a second system.

Willo is an asynchronous (one-way) screening platform: candidates record answers — video, audio, text, file or multiple-choice — and Willo's AI ranks them against your criteria (it ranks recorded answers, not parsed résumés). It has no live interview or live copilot and is not an ATS; it connects to the ATS you already use. Capabilities and pricing are taken from willo.video and third-party review sites as of 2026; Willo ships quickly and free-tier availability may vary, so verify current terms on their site. Willo states ISO 27001, SOC 2 and GDPR compliance. Willo also offers identity verification, a large assessment-template library, and integrations not all listed here.
