How Flowmingo stays free
Transparency & Fairness
Flowmingo is a free screening suite for recruiters: AI interviews, skill tests, CV evaluation, showcases, role-plays and technical tests.
Companies pay $0 for unlimited screening; paid plans add retention, branding, downloads and longer assessments, and candidates may buy optional tools.
At Flowmingo, our mission is to remove cost as a barrier to better hiring — so every company can screen properly, and every candidate gets a fair shot at their dream job. We run a complete screening suite — AI interviews, skill tests, CV evaluation, showcases, role-plays and technical tests — free for companies, and we're specific about exactly how the model works.
01
For Recruiters & Companies
Cost: $0 (Free Forever)
A full screening suite — not a trial, not a teaser — at no cost:
- Unlimited AI interviews, skill tests, showcases, role-plays and technical tests.
- Unlimited CV evaluation, scoring and comprehensive reports.
- Career page, job posts and a built-in applicant tracking system.
- Unlimited talent matches to browse, and no plan limit on inviting your own candidates.

- … and much more, free.
No catch, no gotchas. The core product is genuinely unlimited in how many candidates you screen, and free to use.
Companies that want even more features and benefits can optionally upgrade, sponsor their candidates’ sessions or unlock Flowmingo Network CVs. You never pay to screen a candidate.

The Career-Growth Ecosystem
To keep the platform free for companies, we offer candidates optional tools to prepare, grow, and put their best foot forward. Each carries a small fee, and they're always the candidate's choice — never required.
The AI grader is blind to payment. It scores the content of each final answer against your rubric, and receives no information about what a candidate paid for. Tests are scored by answer key (or by running the code), and showcases aren’t AI-scored at all; payment is an input to none of them.
Every one of these is 100% optional — never required, and a candidate who pays for nothing gets the full screening, scored by exactly the same rules.
Here is the complete, exact list of what a candidate can choose to pay for — nothing hidden, nothing more:
Before they start
- AI practice simulators. A realistic dry run of the format and timing with different questions — reduces anxiety and technical drop-off. For AI interviews, role-plays, skill tests and technical tests.100% optional
During and after
- Career feedback report. A detailed analysis of their own performance — communication style, strengths, areas to grow — tangible value for their time, regardless of outcome. For AI interviews and role-plays.100% optional
- Score and ranking on a test. If the company doesn’t show candidates their result, a candidate can unlock their own score and see where they rank. A clear answer for their effort. For skill tests and technical tests.100% optional
- Complete a missed question. If a candidate runs out of time before reaching every question, they can go back and answer the ones they didn't get to — giving you a fuller dataset. AI interviews only. It can also offer a few extra AI-suggested follow-up questions.100% optional
- Retake a question. A candidate can record a question again — for example after a Wi-Fi drop, low battery, or interruption — or simply because they want another go at it. You receive only their final answer. For AI interviews, role-plays and showcases; a screening-question answer can be changed the same way.100% optional
- Extra time on a skill test. If the clock runs out with questions still unanswered, a candidate can buy more time to finish them. A fairer result for someone who ran out of time.100% optional
- Recording polish. An optional clean-up of how the candidate looks and sounds, covering background, lighting and audio. The AI scores what they say from the original recording, never the polished one. Your integrity checks (such as a second face in frame) run on the final video you see. For AI interviews and role-plays.100% optional
Optional means optional — no exceptions, no catch.

Optional: Sponsor your sessions
Want it entirely under your own brand, with no paid extras offered to your candidates?
Some companies would rather run the whole process as their own — your branding throughout, and no optional tools shown to candidates at all. Sponsoring a session gives you exactly that, on any plan: a clean, distraction-free experience with your own logo and colours through the interview, and no paid extras offered to applicants. It is optional, priced per candidate session, never for the screening itself, and on Scale it is included in the plan (see Pricing for prices and the fair-use terms). If a wallet can’t cover a session’s fee, that candidate gets the normal free experience. You can still gift candidates a feedback report and a practice run.

Our Integrity Commitment
The AI grader doesn't know which candidate paid. Every answer is scored against your rubric the same way. There is no favouritism for candidates who used any optional tool. A stronger answer earns a stronger score; a candidate’s payment buys nothing from the algorithm, only practice, extra chances to improve or finish their answers, a look at their own results, or a cleaner recording.
Everyone gets the full experience for free. No candidate pays to take any of our assessments, there is no cap on how many you screen, and no candidate is ever required to buy anything. The optional tools are genuinely extras.
First-attempt responses
Retaken by the candidate
Measured across every interview response on the platform over a recent 30-day period, and shown in aggregate only — we never break it down by employer or interview set, because a small enough group could identify a candidate.
Flowmingo: Better for Companies. Fairer for Candidates.
A company that never upgrades is still a customer we are happy to serve. Same for a candidate who never buys a thing.
