Built for hiring teams that need a real conversation

Four reasons recruiting leaders pick AceUnlock when every hire matters.

✓

A real two-way conversation

AceUnlock runs deep, role-based interviews with dynamic follow-ups in real time — the way a strong human recruiter would. Candidates show how they actually think, not just how they read a script.

✓

Confidence in who you're hiring

Built-in cheat and identity signals across voice, text, and video flag AI assistance, off-screen help, and stand-ins — so the candidate you advance is the one you interviewed.

✓

Transparent, flexible pricing

Public plans, monthly billing, and a 7-day free trial on every paid tier. Scale up or down as your hiring volume changes — no multi-year commitment required.

✓

Live in minutes, your way

Drop our embeddable widget onto any careers page or internal dashboard to display jobs and candidates instantly. Add a full ATS integration whenever you're ready.

Frequently asked questions

How is AceUnlock different from HireVue?
The most important difference is the interview itself. AceUnlock conducts a real two-way conversation — a role-based AI interview that listens to each answer and asks tailored follow-ups in real time, the way a strong human recruiter would. HireVue's core flow is audition-style: candidates record responses to a predefined question set. Beyond the conversation, AceUnlock layers in multi-channel cheat and identity detection, a fully customizable rubric per role, an embeddable widget for instant launch, and transparent monthly pricing.
Why does a two-way conversation matter?
Real interviews are dynamic. When an AI interviewer can probe weak spots, ask "tell me more about that," and dig into specifics, you get a much clearer signal on how a candidate actually thinks, communicates, and handles unfamiliar territory. Static recorded answers tell you how someone delivers a rehearsed response — useful, but a different signal.
Does AceUnlock work with my ATS?
Yes — AceUnlock integrates with leading ATS platforms including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn, BambooHR, SmartRecruiters, Workable, JobVite, JazzHR, and UKG Pro. You can also start with our embeddable widget today and add a full integration later.
How does AceUnlock help me trust who I'm hiring?
AceUnlock analyzes signals across audio (voice patterns, response timing), text (response analysis), and video (visual presence checks) to flag interviews where a candidate may be receiving outside help from generative AI, scripts, or a stand-in — purpose-built for hiring in the era of widely available AI tools.
How does AceUnlock pricing work?
AceUnlock publishes its plans on its pricing page and bills monthly, with a 7-day free trial on every paid plan. You can scale up or down as your hiring needs change, without a multi-year commitment.
How quickly can my team get started?
You can be live in minutes. Sign up, configure a role and rubric, and either share a candidate link or drop our embeddable widget onto your careers page or internal dashboard — no engineering work required.
Can I try AceUnlock before committing?
Yes. Every paid plan includes a 7-day free trial. You can also book a live demo to see the product in action with your own role and rubric.
