What counts as an interview?
An interview counts when a candidate completes it and a report is generated. Invitations that are never started, and interviews a candidate abandons, don't count.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The pilot includes 8 completed interviews on a real role, with every feature on, so an Australian team can compare Critical Hive with its current first round. AI suggests. A person decides.
Do prices include GST?
Prices are shown in Australian dollars excluding GST.
Can we change plans?
Yes. Move up or down at the start of any month. Unused interviews don't roll over.
