Raffi vs HyRiX vs VideoAsk (White-Label Screening Economics for Agency Retainers)

The real choice is not which screener scores best but how much of the funnel the agency wants to own versus hand to the client. Raffi and HyRiX sell a finished shortlist and a branded portal, which suits fractional recruiting sold as a productized retainer; VideoAsk sells a flexible capture layer that an agency can bend to screening, intake, and reference collection at once. Reserve any async-first flow for junior or volume requisitions, because a specialist candidate who is asked to record a video before speaking to a human will read that as a signal about the client's brand.

Raffi vs HyRiX vs VideoAsk (White-Label Screening Economics for Agency Retainers)

white-label depthtime-to-shortlistper-screen cost at volumecandidate experience for senior rolesfit with existing ATS and CRM

Raffi

Best for: Agencies selling fractional recruiting on volume roles where speed to shortlist is the billable promise.
  • Structured first-round interviews completed within 24 hours of application, with a ranked top 3-5 shortlist
  • Full rebranding so the screening layer ships under the agency's own name
  • Rubric-based scoring gives junior delivery staff a defensible reason to reject or advance a candidate
  • Shortlist compression to 3-5 names hides the middle of the pool, which matters when a client wants to see the bench
  • Conversational AI interviews read as impersonal to senior or specialist candidates
  • Rubric quality is only as good as the intake brief the agency writes

HyRiX

Best for: Recruitment agencies in India running high resume volumes who want clients to self-serve the review step.
  • Resume parsing and ranking at scale, with a client-facing portal for candidate review and approval
  • Founding Partner pricing at ₹1,975/month for 350 resume scorings keeps per-screen cost predictable
  • AI-generated role-specific interview questions reduce prep time on unfamiliar job specs
  • Built for the Indian recruitment and staffing market, so localization assumptions may not travel
  • Portal-led workflow puts approval in the client's hands, which can stall a retainer if they are slow
  • Resume-first ranking rewards keyword fit over demonstrated ability

VideoAsk

Best for: Agencies that want one tool for screening, testimonial capture, and client intake rather than a hiring-only stack.
  • Interactive video forms and async interviews in one link, no candidate account required
  • Live call scheduling sits alongside async, so a screen can escalate to a human conversation
  • Zapier and API hooks let the agency push responses into an existing ATS or client CRM
  • White-label branding is partial, so the client may still see a third-party frame
  • Not purpose-built for hiring, meaning scoring and shortlist logic must be assembled by the agency
  • Video-first flows deter candidates who will not record themselves on a first touch
Verdict

Raffi and HyRiX sell a finished shortlist and a branded portal, which suits fractional recruiting sold as a productized retainer; VideoAsk sells a flexible capture layer that an agency can bend to screening, intake, and reference collection at once.
