Hiriso vs Metaview: help during the interview, or notes after it
Metaview and Hiriso both listen to your interviews and turn them into structured, shareable output. The difference is when they help you.
Metaview is an interview-notes product: it joins the call, transcribes it, and produces a structured summary and scores that sync into your ATS, so nobody has to type notes while trying to hold a conversation. That is a genuinely hard problem and Metaview is well established at solving it.
Hiriso is built around the sixty seconds *while* the candidate is answering. It follows the conversation live and suggests the follow-up question, flags the claim that did not add up, and tells you when an answer sounded confident but was thin — at the moment you can still act on it. The transcript, scoring and report happen too, but they are the by-product, not the point.

Side by side
| Hiriso | Metaview | |
|---|---|---|
| Primary moment of value | During the interview — live follow-up suggestions and signals while the candidate is still in the room | After the interview — structured notes, summaries and scores once the call ends |
| Helps a non-expert interview a technical candidate | Yes — suggests domain follow-ups across 500+ technical and non-technical role areas as the answer unfolds | Not its focus — summarizes what was said rather than prompting what to ask next |
| Transcription and structured summary | Yes | Yes — this is the core product |
| Consistent scoring against criteria | Yes — competency-based scoring, bias-aware by design | Yes — scoring against predefined hiring criteria |
| ATS integration | Zoho Recruit, with more in progress | Established — Greenhouse, Lever, Workday and others |
| Video-conferencing coverage | Desktop recorder (macOS/Windows) for dual-channel audio, plus browser and mobile capture — works with in-person interviews too | Joins Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams calls |
| AI-use detection in candidate answers | Yes — flags answers that pattern-match AI assistance | Not advertised as a feature |
| Entry price | Free plan, forever, no credit card | Freemium with limited calls; paid plans publicly reported from around $20/month |
| Best fit | Recruiters and founders who interview outside their own expertise and want help in the moment | Talent teams whose main pain is note-taking and consistent documentation at volume |

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Hiriso and Metaview together?
Yes. They overlap on transcription and summaries, but nothing stops you running a notes tool for the record while Hiriso assists you live. Most teams eventually consolidate, because two tools transcribing the same call is a hard cost to justify.
Does Hiriso join the video call like a meeting bot?
No. Hiriso captures audio through a desktop recorder, the browser, or mobile, rather than joining as a visible participant. That means it works for in-person interviews and on platforms that block bots, and there is no third attendee for the candidate to react to.
Is real-time assistance distracting during an interview?
It is designed not to be. Suggestions appear as short prompts you can glance at and ignore, in the same way you would glance at your own notes. You stay in control of the conversation and of the hiring decision.
