HireVue vs. ZipRecruiter

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.

I mainly use ZipRecruiter through an Applicant Tracking System. When used this way for our company, it simply widens the net in terms of applicants that we receive. Generally speaking, with ZipRecruiter, we receive qualified applicants, just not as many as we do using Indeed, for example.

• It allows candidates to be recorded answering some initial interview questions and eliminates the need for recruiters or hiring manager to get on the phone or meet with them live.
• It stores the video interviews in a manner that is easy to do, use, and recover.
• It's also great to be able to record these interviews and then they can be shared with others on the team as needed for panel interview purposes, etc.

Incentivized

• They notify us when there are new candidates that match our requirements
• They give us the links of the candidates online networks, so it's all right in front of us
• They have a great messages center, that makes it easy for me to access and reference when needed.

• We have experienced some technical issues with the Live Interview feature. A lot of time it is because the user's computer settings are not set up correctly.
• They are working on adding a feature that will allow you to edit the email templates. Hoping for this to be released soon as it is nice to have different communications sent out for different cites around the globe.
• Customized CodeVues can be difficult to set up. Recommend having a technical employee help out with this. Would like to see more CodeVue questions added to the Question Library.

• Better electronic screening of applicants prior to allowing them to apply for a job (i.e. when licenses are required)
• When cancelling they require that you call them on the phone (you can't cancel online)
• I'd prefer that subscriptions were more targeted to my hiring needs

The company is currently looking into other ATS systems, with that we aren't sure the need to continue to use HireVue.

Results. The bottom line is the results we are getting. We are seeing not only quality applications, but quality hires that can directly be tied to our use of ZipRecruiter. The ROI is second to none - a simple and easy to use tool that is driving healthcare professionals to my various clients.

Because it's pretty much a "plug and play" solution.

ZipRecruiter is very user-friendly and is extremely reliable when searching for new talent. There are numerous features to help you when you have questions about a posting or your profile. The filtering process is awesome and you have so many ways to find the right talent with the screening questions provided by ZipRecruiter.

pages load fine ... it's not easy to know where to go -- you have to know to click on this or that because it's not intuitive.

Have not had to utilize support recently, but in past instances they have reached out within 12 hours to help rectify any problems or answer any questions about features and functionality. The only issue I ever had with them was trying to clarify, when they previously advertised that they posted on 200+ job boards, if that meant that your job would for sure be posted on each job board. Turns out, by the way, that they only guarantee distribution, not posting

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 to put through and how it is a complete convenience for ALL parties involved in the process

ZipRecruiter is inferior when it comes to comparing it to Indeed. I use both because I want more platforms to advertise my job. However, I find myself obtaining more applicants from Indeed over ZipRecruiter. I don't count ZipRecruiter out, though, because every once in a while, you can find a gem in a haystack.

Incentivized

because they did not provide qualified candidates so they cannot be relied upon to do what they say they do

• 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.

Incentivized

• ZipRecruiter helped us to reaching our hiring goals for 2018. We have been able to source, exempt and non-exempt candidates, in a timely fashion for our roles in the NY Metro area.
• From a cost perspective, ZipRecruiter is more affordable than others that we have used in the past. In the end the results speak for themselves and we have had better success with Zip than other job boards we have used in the past.
