Hirin.ai vs TurboHire

Where Hirin.ai is different
Hirin.ai does the first round, not only the workflow
TurboHire's SuperAgent moves candidates through your process and connects the tools you already use [2]. Hirin.ai does the screening itself: it reads every CV, then screens each applicant on WhatsApp or on an AI voice call with Zena in Hindi, Hinglish or 22+ other Indian languages.
Interviews and tests in one product
With TurboHire, assessments and interviews come through partner tools and meeting apps [3][4]. Hirin.ai includes one-way AI video interviews with proctoring and role-based skill tests, scored into one fitment summary.
Sized for mid-size teams and agencies
TurboHire is built around large-enterprise deployments [1]. In Hirin.ai a first role can be set up in minutes, agencies get client and mandate desks, and pricing is by hiring volume.
The first round in Hirin.ai, screen by screen
Real screens from the Hirin.ai product. Under each one: how TurboHire 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. Zena, 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, Zena 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 with Zena →
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

- Separate subscriptions for the assessment partners you connect, such as Mercer Mettl, SHL or HackerRank [4]
- A WhatsApp provider such as Gupshup and a calling app such as FreJun, if you want those channels [4]
- Recruiter time on first-round calls, since AI voice screening was not found [2]
