Considered Both Products	HireVue AH Alisha Hernandez CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose HireVue HireVue allows for both virtual recording as well as live. It is pretty nice to send an email to the client and then wait for the response. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose HireVue HireVue isn't really in the same category at the other programs I listed so it's hard to compare them because they are all leveraged for very different purposes. HireVue was selected (to my knowledge) for its ease of use and the video interview recording function and I haven't … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose HireVue I was not initially a part of the selection process for HireVue. Skype for Business is often recommended by the business since it is the current internal messaging platform. Unfortunately with Skype for Business we are not able to interview external candidates, evaluate … Incentivized Helpful? Nathan Livingstone Sr. Technical Recruiter Chose HireVue HireVue only allows 4 people total for Live Interviewers. A lot of managers ask to set up WebExs to include a larger interview team. However, HireVue is better than WebEx due to the fact that you can send out OnDemand tests to the candidates prior to submitting them to the … Incentivized Helpful? Katie Strait Senior Recruiter Chose HireVue I have used Rivs in the past and really thought it was a great tool to use. However, HireVue has more case studies, allows you to engage with the community of Hirevue and is always giving pointers/tips. I felt a little on my own with Rivs unless the rep was calling and checking … Incentivized Helpful? Nicole McMenamin, SPHR Human Resources Manager Chose HireVue We went with HireVue because they are great at what they do! They have great support and truly care about the customer's brand. If you don't have a brand yet, or are just starting out - that is great too! They help you. The other companies did not do that. As a bonus they offer … Incentivized Helpful? Stephany Beaver Recruiter Chose HireVue HireVue is by far a much better product which is more user friendly and reliable. Excellent customer service. You come for the product you stay for the service. Incentivized Helpful? Shannon Tracy Talent Acquisition Associate Chose HireVue N/A Incentivized Helpful? Chase Muehlheuser Director of Talent Acquisition Chose HireVue Gray Peak doesn't even compare to HireVue. Where I think Gray Peak is a 2 or 3 out of 10, I am absolutely convinced that HireVue is a 10! Yes there are probably some tweaks for HireVue but this product is truly amazing. It impresses me each day with the volume that we are able … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose HireVue Never seen another product. Won't need to either. Incentivized Helpful? Chris Middleton, PHR, SHRM-CP Sr. Manager, Talent Acquisition Chose HireVue We looked at Green Job Interview and another company but I don't recall their name. HireVue was more expensive in cost but overall value was better. They are a larger company with more support and have been established longer. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose HireVue Hirevue is user friendly, easy to customize and supports our company brand and culture. Incentivized Helpful? Derek Pharr Chose HireVue We haven't reviewed too many other competing products in this space. The feature set of HireVue addressed most of our needs fairly early on in our evaluation process. Incentivized Helpful? Karen Mata Director of Talent Acquisition Chose HireVue N/A Incentivized Helpful? SH Sierra Hirschi HR Administrator Chose HireVue ApplicantPro is a good recruiting program but HireVue does it better when it comes to seeing how the candidate really is. So instead of using ApplicantPro's interview software we have been able to use both of them hand in hand which has been a really nice combination. … Incentivized Helpful? Lauren Klein Director of Recruitment and Selection Chose HireVue We looked at other video options and this was BY FAR the best. We also received a ton of positive feedback from other people who used the product. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose HireVue We prefer HireVue due to the ease of use and the recording function as compared to Skype. Zoom is a platform one of our clients elected to go with and already had in place, I can't say we fully evaluated it, however, my limited knowledge would say the two are comparable. Incentivized Helpful? Corric Cummings Talent Acquisition Partner Chose HireVue As this is my first time in recruiting, I personally have not used similar products to HireVue. I can image that HireVue's simplicity and user friendly application is definitely something that makes this tool unique compared to other companies. HireVue also has excellent … Incentivized Helpful? Bridget Mullally Recruiter Chose HireVue HireVue is much more innovative and new compared to the aforementioned products. I enjoy using HireVue because it's new software, and it is constantly changing and being updated. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose HireVue I do not have experience with similar products. Incentivized Helpful? Kara Kintz Recruiting Manager - Midwest Chose HireVue have not used anything but HireVue Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose HireVue I have never used any other one-way products, so I can't compare. We also don't use HireVue for live interviewing purposes only for one-way interviewing. I would be interested in seeing how one-way interviewing compares to live interviewing. In addition, how HireVue compares to … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose HireVue Our current cost point is appealing and we have only received positive feedback from users and hiring managers. No real reason to switch to another company at this time. Incentivized Helpful? Jodi Kennedy, SPHR, SHRM-SCP Talent Acquisition Supervisor - Recruiting Programs and Systems Chose HireVue N/A - we've only used HireVue. We've talked to others at conferences but their product couldn't compare to HireVue so we didn't go any further with them. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose HireVue Originally we liked the idea of having video interviews, but found we lost some good applicants because of it. This is strictly because of our particular hiring process. HireVue can possibly be very successful for other industries. Incentivized Helpful?	Socrative No answer on this topic

User Testimonials
	HireVue	Socrative
Likelihood to Recommend	HireVue was very well suited for my interviewing process with my current company for both my initial hire and my lateral move within the organization. It was very convenient given where I am geographically located to interview with our corporate office in Rhode Island. It provided the convenience of interviewing remotely for the opening posted. Shaleen Whitfield Sr. Manager, Diversity Read full review	No answers on this topic
Pros	OnDemand Interviews is a great feature that lets you set up video/multiple choice/codevue questions. You send it to the candidates and they are able to take the interview on their time and in the comfort of their own home. HireVue and HireVue Pro apps. This is a great tool for manager and candidates to take/review interviews on the go. HireVue has the ability to upload candidates via a CVS file, which is nice when you have tons of applicants. Nathan Livingstone Sr. Technical Recruiter Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	I would like to be able to add more than one person to a video at once. Yes it's easy now, I just think it would be easier to blast through all of the info then hit "save." Not sure why it says "save" instead of "send" when sending out a video interview. I'm really trying to find weaknesses and that is why tried to be picky... If I had one more weakness I'd say I want a way to delete old users from showing up. Archiving is not good enough. There should be a delete button.

Likelihood to Renew	The company is currently looking into other ATS systems, with that we aren't sure the need to continue to use HireVue. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	Because it's pretty much a "plug and play" solution. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	HireVue isn't really in the same category at the other programs I listed so it's hard to compare them because they are all leveraged for very different purposes. HireVue was selected (to my knowledge) for its ease of use and the video interview recording function and I haven't had any major issues with the platform so I think it performs fine, but there's always room for improvement.

Return on Investment	Time to fill has been reduced/ shortened since we are able to screen more candidates quicker. Time to schedule has been shortened as candidates are able to self-schedule their own interviews with a hiring manager; no more chasing people through phone calls to coordinate multiple schedules. Candidate reach has been greatly enhanced - we can reach more candidates than we ever could with traditional phone screening.
