What is Willo?
Willo is an asynchronous interviewing and assessment platform where candidates complete video, audio or text responses to structured questions on their own schedule, and the employer reviews them through a dashboard. Willo Intelligence transcribes responses, summarises them and identifies skills and gaps, and anti-cheat systems are available to help mitigate deepfakes and scripted answers. Digital identity verification, including right-to-work and background checks, is built into the platform, so an employer can confirm who a candidate is alongside the interview rather than using a separate provider. Its own site names staffing agencies and employment businesses as an audience, and it sits at the first screening stage in place of a phone call.
What are Willo's key features?
Candidates respond by video, audio, or text within one interview link on any device.
Digital ID checks add identity, right-to-work, and background verification.
Willo Intelligence transcribes and summarises every interview and surfaces skills.
Anti-cheat systems are available to help mitigate deep-fakes and scripted responses.
ISO 27001 certified, with encryption and two-factor authentication built in.
How do recruiting teams use Willo?
- A recruiter assessing candidates for a role that requires clear written or verbal communication asks for video or audio responses alongside a technical question, seeing how candidates perform on both dimensions from one submission.
- A team posting a role that attracts hundreds of applicants in the first days collects responses asynchronously from every applicant without scheduling overhead, then reviews the shortlist as a batch at a time that suits the team.
- A staffing agency running high-volume temp and contract placements for multiple clients screens candidate batches quickly and shares shortlisted video responses directly with hiring managers at each client.
- A recruiter whose hiring process runs on Greenhouse, Teamtailor, Workday, or another integrated ATS adds video interviews as a pipeline stage, so invitations send automatically and completed responses appear in the candidate record.
Who is Willo best for?
- In-house hiring teams needing transparent pricing, identity verification, and async video screening
- High-growth companies where candidates respond via video, audio, text, or multiple choice without an account
- Staffing agencies and employment businesses screening high volumes of temporary and contract candidates
What are Willo's pros and cons?
Pros
- A pay-as-you-go plan charges per live role with no annual contract.
- The AI layer covering transcription, summaries and benchmarking is on both plans.
- ISO 27001 certified, with identity verification built into the platform.
- No app download or candidate login, which reduces early-stage abandonment.
Cons
- Enterprise pricing requires a demo, so total cost is not directly comparable.
- ID, right-to-work and background checks are credit-based add-ons on the entry plan.
- Dedicated success support and SSO are limited to the enterprise plan.
