Likelihood to Recommend 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
Read full review This is pretty much perfect if you are in a situation like us i.e, want to improve/replace your phone screening and ensure your clients only interview good candidates. It also works great for pretty much any role you might be hiring for since the video interview part happens early in the process. The only scenario where this might not be used in your recruitment process is if you hire a few people throughout the year. In that case, it probably doesn't make sense.
Read full review Pros 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. Read full review Overall interviewing experience with Jobma is outstanding. Jobma connects us to worldwide talent remotely and helps discover, engage and recruit star talent for the position effectively. I was also able to share some of the initial interviews and the management team supported and loved the tool. Thanks, Jobma, for making this a reality. Jobma allows us to conduct our preliminary interviews with ease. Neeti Jhala Team Lead & Account Manager- Talent Acquisition
Read full review Cons 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. Read full review I feel like their live video interview should be easier to set up. Right now it takes a few clicks to get it set up. There should just be an option to immediately do a live interview without the scheduling bit. We would like to be able to download our video interviews but I am told that is a GDPR/compliance thing they cannot do. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Works great. Its affordable and reliable. Great support. Whats not to like
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review I have used
Spark Hire in my previous organization which is an alternate software for Jobma, but
Spark Hire pricing is very expensive when compared to Jobma. So I would recommend always Jobma for its features and affordable pricing.
Read full review Return on Investment 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. Read full review Integration of Jobma into hiring tool kit has significantly reduces the interview rounds and time and fast-forward the complete interview process. It provides easy to easy dashboard and make it convenient for the hiring managers to track personal and team performances of recruiters that makes hiring more effective and objective driven.
