What is Talview?
Talview is a remote proctoring and interview-integrity platform built by IIT Bombay classmates who started Interview Master in 2012 and turned it into Talview Inc in 2017. It now sells two product lines: exam proctoring (its Alvy AI proctoring agent, automated and live proctoring, record-and-review, a secure browser and an exam engine) and hiring (the Ivy AI interviewer, on-demand video interviews, scheduling and candidate fraud detection). The company says it has assessed more than 10 million candidates across 120+ countries, and its customer stories name HCL Technologies, PwC, Cambridge Assessment and La Trobe University.
For Indian buyers, Talview fits two groups well. The first is universities, certification bodies and edtech firms running high-stakes online exams that need ID checks, a second camera and a locked-down browser. The second is IT services companies and GCCs fighting proxy candidates and AI-assisted cheating in technical interviews. Talview has detection aimed at tools such as Final Round AI and Cluely, plus deepfake checks. It also plugs into Indian ATS products such as PeopleStrong, Zwayam, TurboHire and RippleHire, alongside Workday, SuccessFactors and Greenhouse.
The weak spots are cost visibility and size. There is no price list. Pricing is unit-based per feature, and the pricing page says you typically need around 150 to 200 candidates a year to start. A pilot covers about 10 candidates before extra charges apply. A college running one entrance test for 80 students will find it oversized, and a cheaper Indian proctoring tool or Google Forms with a lockdown add-on may be enough. Talview's trust centre lists GDPR, ISO 27001 and other frameworks but does not name a hosting region, so ask about India data residency if you handle student data under the DPDP Act.
In practice you fill in a quote form with the modules you want and your yearly candidate volume and a Talview solutions expert follows up. Microsoft customers can apply Azure credits to any Talview product. That is worth checking if your company already has an Azure commitment, because it can cover the whole first year.
What works well
- +Seven-layer proctoring model covers ID checks, room scans, a secure browser and web monitoring for leaked questions
- +Interview fraud tools target deepfakes, proxy candidates and AI copilots such as Final Round AI and Cluely
- +Integrations page lists Indian ATS products PeopleStrong, Zwayam, TurboHire and RippleHire alongside Workday and SuccessFactors
- +LMS proctoring embeds through LTI 1.3 into Moodle, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Docebo and Open edX
- +Browser SDK with Form, Scheduler, Session and Playback modules lets exam platforms embed proctoring themselves
- +Talview Candidate iOS app holds a 4.7 rating from about 17K ratings on the US App Store
- +Microsoft customers can pay for any Talview product with Azure credits, according to the pricing page
What to watch out for
- −No public prices; every buyer has to submit a quote form and wait for sales
- −Pricing page says a typical start needs roughly 150 to 200 candidates a year, ruling out tiny exam runs
- −Pilots include only about 10 candidates before additional charges may apply
- −Trust centre names no hosting region or encryption standard, so India data residency must be confirmed in writing
- −The Talview Recruit iOS app for hiring teams shows only 3.0 from 4 ratings, suggesting recruiters mostly work on desktop
Best suited for: Universities, exam boards and certification bodies running proctored online exams for thousands of candidates · IT services firms and GCCs facing proxy interviews and AI-assisted cheating in technical hiring · Edtech and assessment platforms that want to embed proctoring through an SDK, API or LTI · Companies already on Workday, SuccessFactors, PeopleStrong or Zwayam that want video interviews inside the ATS

Talview — frequently asked questions
How much does Talview cost in India?+
Talview does not publish prices in rupees or dollars. Its pricing page describes unit-based pricing where each feature has its own unit, and you get a quote after filling in a form with your modules and yearly candidate volume. Talview says a typical start needs roughly 150 to 200 candidates a year, and a solutions expert contacts you after the form is submitted.
Does Talview have a free trial or free plan?+
Talview has no free plan and no self-serve free trial. Instead it offers a product walkthrough and a pilot. According to the pricing page, a pilot covers about 10 candidates, and additional charges may apply beyond that depending on candidate count and the features you pick. Plan a pilot around one real exam or hiring drive so the result is useful.
Is GST charged on Talview invoices?+
Talview's pricing page says nothing about GST or INR billing, and the company trades as Talview Inc. Indian buyers should ask sales which entity will invoice them. If it is a foreign entity, you may need to handle GST under reverse charge on imported services. Get this clarified before the purchase order so your finance team can claim input credit correctly.
What is Talview Alvy?+
Alvy is Talview's AI proctoring agent, which the company describes as patented agentic AI built on large language models. It sits alongside Talview's automated proctoring, record-and-review and live proctoring options. Alvy watches the candidate, the environment and the assessment feed and flags suspicious behaviour, so fewer sessions need full human review after the exam.
Can Talview stop proxy candidates and AI cheating in interviews?+
That is one of Talview's main selling points. Its interviewing suite includes candidate verification, deepfake detection for face swaps and voice cloning, and specific protections against AI copilots such as Final Round AI, Parakeet AI and Cluely. HCL Technologies is quoted on Talview's site with an 80% reduction in proxy and impersonation attempts after adopting it.
Talview vs Mercer Mettl: which should an Indian company pick?+
Both Talview and Mercer Mettl offer proctored assessments and video interviews to Indian employers and universities. Mettl is better known for its large test library. Talview's focus is proctoring depth and interview fraud detection, including its Alvy and Ivy AI agents and integrations with PeopleStrong, Zwayam and Workday. Run the same pilot exam on both before deciding.
Does Talview work with our ATS or LMS?+
Talview's integrations page lists ATS products including Workday, SuccessFactors, Greenhouse, iCIMS, Taleo, PeopleStrong, Zwayam, TurboHire and RippleHire. On the LMS side it supports Moodle, Canvas, D2L Brightspace, Docebo and Open edX through LTI 1.3 or API. Developers can also embed proctoring with the Proview browser SDK or call the Proctoring API directly.
Is there a Talview mobile app?+
Yes. Talview Candidate on the Apple App Store lets job seekers take video interviews and proctored tests by invitation or QR code, and it shows a 4.7 rating from about 17K ratings. A separate Talview Recruit app serves hiring teams. Candidates can also join live interviews from a phone browser through the link in their invitation email.
Is candidate data safe with Talview?+
Talview's trust centre says it complies with ISO 27001, GDPR, CCPA, PDPA and LGPD, and its website lists SOC 2. Customers keep ownership of their data. The trust centre does not name hosting regions or encryption methods, so Indian institutions with DPDP Act obligations should ask Talview where data is stored and for its SOC 2 report.
How long does it take to set up Talview?+
Talview publishes no fixed timeline. For hiring, a connector to an ATS such as Workday or PeopleStrong is the quickest path. For exams, LTI 1.3 embedding into Moodle or Canvas is mostly configuration. A custom integration with the Proview SDK requires a tenant DSN per environment and CSP changes, so budget extra engineering time for that route.
How much does Talview cost?+
Talview publishes its plans at https://www.talview.com/en/pricing. Check that page for current prices, as plans change.
Does Talview have a free trial?+
Yes. Talview's official site offers a free trial.
