The $1 Interview Infrastructure Breakdown: Why we spent 3 years building voice AI from scratch. AMA

Most AI interview platforms and automated hiring tools charge anywhere from $3 to $15 per candidate interview. Here is why the industry standard is so expensive, and how we brought it down to $1.

The hidden cost of most AI recruitment software is that it is built on top of other tools.Think third-party voice providers, third-party proctoring vendors, and third-party resume parsers.Every single layer adds a markup. By the time it reaches you, the cost of automated video interviews has compounded into something that only makes sense for large enterprises with fat budgets.

That was the real problem. Not the AI technology, but the architecture.

I spent 3 years building low-latency voice AI systems before starting InterviewFlowAI.That time taught me one thing clearly: if you build the core infrastructure yourself, your costs drop dramatically.We built our conversational AI agents from scratch to optimize efficiency at every layer of the tech stack, and we built our own AI proctoring in-house.

This means zero vendor fees and zero cost passed on to you.The result is a $0.99 usage-based interview with unlimited AI resume screening and free candidate proctoring included.

I've helped scale HR tech and seen infrastructure fall apart under scale. Ask me anything about building low-latency voice AI, avoiding third-party vendor bloat, or tech foundations!
