Set & Manage AI Interview Agent Budgets

Interviewer budgets help you control spend and predict interview costs based on your interview workflow. Budgets are optional. If no budget is set, interviews continue as long as workspace credits are available.

​
How Interview Costs Work

Interview costs are calculated based on the interview stages enabled in your interviewer’s workflow, such as:
  • Resume Screening
  • Web (Voice) Interview
  • SMS Screening or Engagement
  • Form Screening
  • Cheat Detection
Each completed stage contributes to the total cost of a completed interview.
Incomplete interviews are not charged. During setup, HeyMilo shows calculated cost projections based on plan + your selected stages.

​
Budget Types Available

Set a fixed total amount for the interviewer. Once the budget is fully spent, the interviewer pauses automatically.

​
How to Set an Interviewer’s Budget

There are two ways to set or update an interviewer’s budget:
  • during interviewer creation
  • after the interviewer is live
