SAMMI vs Talview

SAMMI is a web-based asynchronous structured interview platform using the Multiple Mini Interview method for candidate selection. Employers record questions in advance, candidates answer online when convenient, and recruiters review recordings later. The platform transcribes answers and gives a score for every question plus an overall performance score. Employers can use ready-made or customised MMI questions and record interviewer questions with members of their organisation’s community. SAMMI 3 provides adjustable fonts, colour schemes, real-time subtitles, and progress controls. The company says candidates with additional learning needs or who are neurodiverse can receive 25% extra time per question. Administrators see an applicant status page that updates hourly. Candidates must complete the interview circuit once started. A recording copy downloads automatically to the applicant’s hard drive if Wi-Fi affects uploading. Pricing is on request: setup varies by customisation, with per-interview volume discounts.

Talview provides proctoring and interviewing tools for high-stakes exams, certifications, and hiring decisions. Automated proctoring includes identity checks and a secondary camera option, with an integrity score produced within 24 hours after an exam. For hiring, Ivy AI conducts structured interviews with built-in trust controls. The platform supports live and asynchronous interviews, recording, and templates. Integrations span learning management, applicant tracking and talent management, assessment, meeting, calendar, and payment categories; named services include Moodle, Canvas, Skilljar, Workday, Greenhouse, Zoom, Outlook Calendar, Google Calendar, and Stripe. Custom integrations are available through REST APIs, embedded JavaScript, and mobile SDKs. Talview supports web, iOS, Android, and API access. Recruiter mobile apps are described for iOS and Android, and candidates can take interviews and assessments on mobile devices. Pricing is on request and depends on candidate count and selected features; a typical minimum commitment is approximately 150 to 200 candidates. Pilot charges may apply above 10 candidates. A limited-time free trial is advertised for the Moodle proctoring integration.
