What Willo does

Willo replaces early-stage screening calls with a structured, one-way video interview. You set the questions, candidates record their answers whenever suits them — on any device — and you review responses at your own pace rather than coordinating back-and-forth across calendars.

Once responses come in, Willo generates transcripts and summaries and, on paid tiers, AI-powered scoring that ranks candidates so you can see who rises to the top without watching every video in full. The platform supports over 1,500 ready-made assessments across roles and seniority levels, or you can build your own questions around your specific criteria.

Willo connects to solutions many hiring teams already use — including Greenhouse, Workable, Workday, Teamtailor, Zapier, and Slack — so it can sit inside an existing workflow rather than becoming a separate process to manage. The vendor reports ISO 27001 certification and GDPR compliance, and the platform supports 18-plus languages and meets WCAG accessibility standards.

Key capabilities

Structured async video screening

Candidates record answers to your questions in their own time, on any device. You review responses when it suits you, with no scheduling required.

AI transcription and summaries

Every response is automatically transcribed and summarised, reducing the time needed to get the gist of each candidate's answers.

AI scoring and ranking

Available on Growth and Scale plans, AI scoring benchmarks responses against your criteria and surfaces the strongest candidates, so you can prioritise who to look at first.

Ready-made and custom assessments

Choose from over 1,500 role and industry assessments or build your own, giving every candidate the same structured questions for a consistent comparison.

ATS and workflow integrations

Willo connects with Greenhouse, Workday, Workable, Teamtailor, Zapier, Slack, and others, so screening data flows into the solutions your team already relies on.

Candidate identity verification

The Willo Verified feature supports candidate identity checks, helping teams get confidence that responses are genuine.

Best for

Small to mid-sized businesses doing regular hiring who want to cut down on early-stage phone screens and calendar coordination
Teams hiring at volume or across time zones, where scheduling live calls with every applicant is impractical
Hiring managers who want a consistent, structured way to compare candidates rather than relying on informal first impressions
Businesses already using an ATS like Greenhouse, Workday, or Workable who want screening to connect directly into their existing workflow
Organisations that need accessible, multilingual candidate experiences and want to demonstrate structured, evidence-based hiring decisions

Worth knowing

There is no free plan: Lite is $59 per live role with no contract, and Enterprise starts at $3,799 a year — check which features each includes before committing. Confirm current pricing directly with Willo before budgeting.
Willo is purpose-built for screening and early-stage interviews; it is not a full applicant tracking system. Teams without an existing ATS may need to consider what sits alongside it.
Candidates must be comfortable recording themselves on video, which may not suit every role type or applicant demographic — worth considering if your talent pool skews toward less tech-familiar candidates.
If you hire infrequently — say, one or two roles a year — the monthly cost of a paid plan may not be justified versus running phone screens manually.
Identity verification (Willo Verified) is a separate feature layer; confirm whether it is included in your target plan or priced additionally before assuming it is available.
