Talview AI features, pricing and GDPR (November 2026)

Talview is a video interview and exam proctoring platform used by employers, universities and certification bodies to run remote hiring assessments and online exams with identity verification, fraud detection and AI-assisted interviewing.

Talview began in 2012 as Interview Master and now operates as Talview Inc, headquartered in California with offices in the United States, India and the United Kingdom. The platform combines three main areas: AI-assisted video interviewing, exam and interview proctoring, and live interview rooms with screen sharing, a virtual whiteboard and a coding editor for technical roles. Non-AI functions include interview scheduling, recording with consent, and structured evaluation forms for hiring teams.

Customers include certification bodies, universities and enterprise hiring teams; the company states it has assessed more than ten million candidates across over 120 countries. Typical users are recruiters, exam administrators and IT leaders running high-volume or high-stakes assessments.

• Verifies candidate identity in real timeThe Alvy proctoring agent checks a candidate's identity at login and periodically during the session using facial verification, and flags deepfakes or synthetic media such as face swaps or injected voice. Reviewers see explained alerts instead of raw video to check manually.
• Conducts AI-led interviews with follow-up questionsThe Ivy interview agent asks candidates job-related questions and generates follow-ups based on their answers; Talview's candidate help center explicitly describes Ivy as an AI agent. Interviews are recorded and scored for hiring teams to review, rather than deciding automatically.
• Monitors the exam environment for irregularitiesDuring proctored exams, the system watches background applications, screen activity and connected devices, and intervenes in real time when it detects prohibited tools such as AI chat assistants. This reduces the volume of flagged footage that human proctors need to review manually.
• Matches resumes against role criteriaTalview's Gen AI Resume Fitment compares incoming resumes with the must-have, preferred and optional criteria set for the role and rates each candidate as a strong, potential or low fit with an explanation. This gives recruiters a traceable pre-sort, while the shortlisting decision stays with the hiring team according to the vendor.

• Runs three named AI agents, Alvy for proctoring, Ivy for interviewing and Livy as an assistant for hiring and exam workflows; according to the vendor, flagged cases are escalated to human reviewers.
• Pricing is unit-based per feature rather than per-seat, so customers can combine proctoring, interviewing and ID verification as separate line items.
• Holds WCAG 2.1 accessibility conformance alongside SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certification.
• According to the release notes, the candidate interface is available in languages including English, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Hindi, Japanese and Arabic, and Talview lists phone contacts in the US, India and the UK.

Headquartered in Menlo Park, California, with named US reference customers such as Best Buy, AAAE and Gallagher Bassett. India is its origin and home market, with a large base in Bangalore and references such as HCLTech.

Before buying, clarify where interview and exam recordings are stored for your account; Talview states that EU client data is hosted within the EU. Pricing is unit-based with a minimum commitment of about 150 to 200 candidates, so request a quote against expected numbers. Because Ivy scores recorded interviews, Illinois requires notice and consent before AI analyzes video interviews, and New York City requires an independent bias audit. Alvy verifies identity by face, and India's IT Rules 2011 treat such biometric data as sensitive, requiring documented security practices.

• No federal employee privacy law, a state patchwork instead
• NYC requires bias audits for AI hiring tools
• Illinois bans discriminatory AI in employment decisions
