Willo

Willo lets a recruiter ask every applicant the same questions on video and review the answers later, instead of booking phone screens. It is operated by Willo Technologies Ltd, registered in Scotland and founded in 2018.

Unlike many sales-led tools in this category, Willo shows its pricing: the Lite plan is £49 per live role with no contract, and Enterprise starts at £2,999 per year with longer terms discounted.

Structured Questions and Scorecards

Willo ships a library of more than 1,500 assessments across roles and seniority levels, and teams can build their own. Every candidate answers the same questions and is rated against custom scorecards, which keeps the first round consistent.

Candidates can be invited by email or SMS, and the platform is localised in 18 languages.

AI as an Assistant

Willo Intelligence transcribes and summarises each interview and can suggest follow-up questions. The company describes this as AI-assisted insights with human-led decisions, so the shortlist stays a recruiter's choice.

Data and Compliance

Willo states that personal data is primarily hosted in the EU on AWS, that data is encrypted at rest, and that the platform is ISO 27001 certified. Its privacy policy also says that limited processing or access may occur in the United States through certain providers, which is worth reviewing in the sub-processor list.

Limitations to Consider

Willo's privacy policy allows limited processing in the United States through some service providers, so it is not a fully EU-only data path. The Lite plan is capped at five live roles and 150 assessed candidates per role. It does not offer live interviews, so teams that want one tool for both formats will need a second product.

Who Should Use Willo

Recruiters and HR teams that want structured one-way screening, a published price and a wide choice of ATS integrations, and that accept a UK contracting entity.
