Hirin.ai vs Recruiterflow
Recruiterflow is an AI-native ATS and CRM for executive search firms, recruiting agencies and staffing agencies, with a set of AI agents it calls AIRA and 2,100+ search firms as customers, according to its website. Hirin.ai is an AI recruiter built for Indian volume hiring: it screens every applicant on WhatsApp or an AI voice call in Hindi and 22+ Indian languages, runs video interviews and skill tests, and hands your recruiters a ranked shortlist.
Which should you choose?
Both are built with recruitment agencies in mind. The right pick depends on whether your desk's bottleneck is winning and managing clients or screening applicants.
Choose Hirin.ai if
- Your desk fills high-volume mandates in India (BPO, BFSI, retail, IT services) and recruiters spend the day on screening calls
- Your candidates reply on WhatsApp, and many prefer Hindi or another Indian language
- You want AI voice screening, one-way video interviews and skill tests built in, not added through partner apps
- You want Naukri and foundit, and you'd rather pay for hiring volume by UPI or card than per user in US dollars
Choose Recruiterflow if
- You run an executive search or contingent desk and want the ATS, CRM and business development pipeline, with sales automation, in one tool [1][2]
- You want multichannel sequences across email, LinkedIn, calls and SMS, with branching logic and step level tracking [6]
- You want AI agents for call notes, profile updates, candidate submissions and job change alerts, on its AIRA plan [1][4]
- Reviews and certifications matter to you: 4.6/5 from 206 reviews on G2 [11], with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 shown on its site [2]

Where Hirin.ai is different
The first round runs itself
Recruiterflow's AI agents help recruiters with the work around a search: call notes, profile updates, matching, submissions and outreach [4]. Hirin.ai works on the step before the shortlist. It reads every CV, then screens each applicant on WhatsApp or on an AI voice call, so your desk starts the day with a ranked shortlist.
Voice, video and tests without extra apps
Recruiterflow lists partner apps such as Asendia AI, Veton.ai and Jobma for AI screening calls, video interviews and assessments [5]. In Hirin.ai, AI voice screening, one-way AI video interviews and role-based tests are part of the plan.
Made for Indian candidates and budgets
Candidates answer in Hindi, Hinglish or 22+ other Indian languages, and notice period and CTC are fields. Jobs go to Naukri and foundit, and pricing is by hiring volume with no per-recruiter seat fees, paid by UPI Autopay, card or net banking.
The first round in Hirin.ai, screen by screen
Real screens from the Hirin.ai product. Under each one: how Recruiterflow handles the same step, based on its public pages.
Set the screening rules once, and the first round runs itself
In Hirin.ai the first round is a simple workflow you set up once per role. The one in this screenshot starts when a new candidate applies and checks that the resume score is above 55. It then sends an approved WhatsApp template with the screening questions and checks the answers: notice period under one month and expected CTC under 24 LPA.
Candidates who pass are invited to an AI interview straight away. Nobody has to open a spreadsheet or dial a number for that to happen, and it runs at 11 pm as well as at 11 am, which is when many shift workers and job switchers actually reply.
How AI screening works →
Every CV gets a scorecard, with the reasons
Hirin.ai reads each CV against the job and shows why it scored the way it did: the experience the role needs against the candidate's, the education it asks for against theirs, and a tick or a cross for each must-have skill.
A recruiter can see in seconds that this candidate scored 82 out of 100 but has no relational database experience on the CV, and can overrule the score if they know better. Every score is logged with its reasons, so a hiring manager can see how the shortlist was made.
See the AI ATS →
AI interviews candidates can take at any hour
Shortlisted candidates get an interview link. Hirin.ai's AI interviewer introduces itself with the company and the role, checks the candidate's camera and microphone, and then runs a one-way video interview with proctoring, a transcript and a scorecard.
For roles where a phone call works better than a video, the AI voice agent calls the candidate instead, in English, Hindi, Hinglish or 22+ other Indian languages. That matters most for frontline, BPO, retail and branch roles, where a call in the candidate's own language gets far more answers than an email link.
AI voice screening →
One fitment score, weighted the way you hire
After the tests and the interview, Hirin.ai brings the results together in one assessment summary. In this example technical skills carry 60% of the weight and soft skills 40%, and the candidate's overall fitment comes out at 82.5%, a Strong Fit.
Proctoring is reported on its own line as a risk level rather than folded into the score, so the recruiter decides what to do about it. Hiring managers open the summary first and the full interview only when they need it.
AI skill assessment →What it costs to run
The licence price is only part of the cost. Here is what to add up for each tool, and a quick way to estimate the recruiter time that goes on first-round calls.
Hirin.ai
- One price based on your hiring volume. Pay by UPI Autopay, card or net banking
- No per-recruiter seat fees, so hiring managers and extra recruiters can join
- WhatsApp screening, AI voice calls, video interviews and skill tests are part of the plan, not separate products
- Enterprise adds HRMS integrations (Keka, Darwinbox, BambooHR, Workday), an API and webhooks
- 14-day free trial on a live role
Recruiterflow: what to add up
- USD $149 per user per month on the Platform plan as shown on the pricing page, or custom pricing for the AIRA plan [1]
- The AIRA plan if you want AIRA Matchmaker, Notetaker, the Submission Agent and the phone and email finder, since these are not in the Platform plan [1]
- Paid white glove data migration, which Recruiterflow says typically takes 6 to 8 weeks and is priced by data volume; a self-serve CSV import is free [1]
- Partner apps for AI screening calls, video interviews and assessments, such as Asendia AI, Veton.ai and Jobma, each with its own pricing [5]
- A phone or messaging partner if you want WhatsApp, since it is not a native channel in sequences [6][5]

Hirin.ai vs Recruiterflow: questions
Is Hirin.ai a good Recruiterflow alternative for Indian agencies?
It is if your desk's biggest cost is screening: Hirin.ai pre-screens every applicant on WhatsApp or an AI voice call in Hindi and 22+ Indian languages and hands you a ranked shortlist. If you mainly need an agency CRM with sales sequences and business development reporting for executive search, Recruiterflow is built for that.
Does Recruiterflow have AI voice screening?
We did not find native AI voice screening on Recruiterflow's website (checked 20 Oct 2026). Its integrations page lists partner apps, Asendia AI and Veton.ai, that run AI voice interviews and screening calls, and its AIRA Notetaker transcribes and summarises recruiter calls.
How much does Recruiterflow cost?
Recruiterflow's pricing page shows the Platform plan at USD $149 per user per month and says pricing starts at $119 per user per month; the AIRA plan, which includes its AI agents, is custom priced (checked 20 Oct 2026). Hirin.ai prices by hiring volume, with no per-recruiter seat fees.
Does Recruiterflow post jobs to Naukri or message candidates on WhatsApp?
Naukri and foundit were not named on Recruiterflow's integrations page, and its sequences cover email, calls, SMS and LinkedIn rather than WhatsApp (checked 20 Oct 2026). Hirin.ai works with Naukri and foundit and runs screening chats on WhatsApp.
Does Hirin.ai replace Recruiterflow?
It can. Hirin.ai has its own ATS, talent pool, agency desk with clients and mandates, career page and offers. Search firms that rely on Recruiterflow's CRM, sales sequences and business development reporting may keep it for client work and run high-volume screening on Hirin.ai.
How long does it take to set up Hirin.ai?
Most teams start with one or two live mandates, and a first role can be set up in minutes. Export your candidates from Recruiterflow and bring them in as a talent pool.
Is candidate data safe with Hirin.ai?
Hirin.ai is built to support India's DPDP Act and GDPR. Every AI score is stored with the reasons behind it, and recruiters can overrule any score, so a person always makes the hiring decision.
