Overall Satisfaction with HireVue

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We started using HireVue about a year ago when we realized that the quality of candidates we were getting for all of our positions were not meeting our corporate culture standards and beliefs and turnover was very high. When I came across HireVue at a technology conference I was excited about the product. We started with only one of our departments and turnover almost immediately dropped. We decided to roll it out to the rest of the organization and it has produced tremendous results. All our managers are very happy with the product and the results it is generating for each of their departments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Managers have the ability to rate candidates, so it helps narrow down a large pool to your top candidates.
Great customization, so it has to the look and feel of our brand and our culture.
You get to see who you are hiring and you can put a face to a name and their background.
All around great tool that is being adopted by many other companies

Cons

A tool where smaller companies can create an intro and closing video.
Better integration with Applicant Tracking Software.
Allow companies to go in and change their branding themselves or change the email templates that go out to candidates.

Return on Investment

Lowered Turnover
Increased Efficiency of Managers
Saving time

Alternatives Considered

Montage

We did extensive research before we decided on HireVue and went back and forth with three other vendors. HireVue stuck out because of the great customer service but also the product met the needs of our business and was very brand and culture oriented.

Other Software Used

SilkRoad Recruiting, SilkRoad Life Suite

Likelihood to Recommend

HireVue is well suited for any type of company but I think it works well for companies who are looking for customer service or member facing employees.

HireVue Feature Ratings

Pre-screening of candidates
Live Interviews
QR Code scanning for onsite events

Innovative Uses

We attended a college event and handed out printed cards with a QR code so that students could scan it and take an interview then and there
We are starting to have all our managers take their own interview to see what the candidate it experience is like.

Future Planned Uses

We would like to use the system as a norm for all positions
We would like to use the system to coach employees

Likelihood to Renew

We love Hirevue

Hi Juanita! Thanks for reviewing us, we appreciate it! We're glad to help you with the recruiting process, and glad that Texas Trust is on board with us. You should be able to record your own intro videos - what problems arise when you try adding these intro videos? The intro videos are at the beginning of the interview setup where you can record, or upload your own intro videos. Unfortunately we don't have the feature to have users change the branding and the email templates themselves as of yet. We should be working on this and may have this as a feature in the near future. In the meantime your CSM will be happy to assist you with either of these. Contact our 24/7 support team if you need help determining your CSM: try.hirevue.com/contact-us Our Integrations team is continuously working hard to make sure HireVue is running smoothly and efficiently with Taleo, Brass Ring, iCIMS, etc. We want the process between the two programs to be flawless and easy to use. if you ever have any problems, you know our support team is here for you. Thanks again for the awesome review! Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google+ and Facebook! - Nicole
