InterviewStream Hire is a video recruiting solution. Some key features include: Pre-Recorded Video, Live Video with ZOOM, Fully Customized Experience and Share Videos.
Ducknowl team has all the features we needed, their team was very helpful in setting the account and we were live within 5 working days. We used it to hiring support team. It worked really great for these jobs since they were able to quickly short the resumes using keyword matching and also conduct one way video interviews in no time.
I always recommend this product to companies of all sizes who are looking for a reliable way to add virtual interviewing to their assessment strategy. There are 50+ vendors in this space right now but none of them have been around as long as InterviewStream. Their product is especially good for high volume scenarios but we've used it for all levels from executives down to hourly employees. We even used it internally for succession planning interviews and internal mobility

Simple interface. It's not a flashy product with claims of artificial intelligence or machine learning, etc. It just gets the job done for a fair price.
Reliable. While we have had some minor issues from time-to-time with live interviews, the recorded interviews have worked fine in several countries around the world.
Support. Our customer success person was always available and helpful.

Reporting could be better. Would love to see more stats around where our users are dropping off, invited vs. completed metrics and ROI numbers as well.
A better database of technical interview questions.

I think it stacks up pretty well. There are some established names behind their competitors, and they have held their own. I selected Ducknowl as the best because of the features it has. The video portion of the software is superior to the other ones, and I think aside from a glitch here and there, their product is overall consistent, whereas their competitors have some notable flaws.

We looked at several video interview companies when we made a purchase decision. With the exception of HireVue, they're all about the same. We just went with InterviewStream because they had the most experience in the industry and their pricing was fair. HireVue is a premium product who tries to distance themselves from the video interview space by claiming that they are a collaboration/training tool or an AI assessment tool. They're wayyyy overpriced for what they offer if you just want video interviewing. And their sales process is high pressure and a little bit slimy to be honest. If you need a proven tool that has been around, InterviewStream is good.

We took a 7 step interview process in one of our high volume areas down to 3 steps. This saved 2 weeks in time to hire and increased our conversion rate with top candidates by 20% (presumably because we moved faster).
We saved $100,000 minimum in travel expenses in the first year. We don't know the exact amount because much of these costs are hidden in the business, but we could track at least $100k in hard costs.
Negatively, I'd say we lost a little bit of street credibility on sites like glassdoor where people would vent that they didn't like recorded video interviews. Over time that feedback dwindled as this strategy has been adopted by more companies.
