Honest fit
When Willo may be the better choice
If you need candidates to answer a standard set of questions in whichever format suits them, in many languages, with identity or right-to-work checks and a long integration list, Willo is well suited. Its per-role pricing is also hard to beat on cost if recorded answers give you enough to decide on.
If you want the first round to work like a real screening call, where a vague answer gets a follow-up, and your reviewers to see the evidence behind each score, a conversational interview gives you more to decide on. Read how a phone screen can be automated without losing the conversation.
