Overall Satisfaction with HireVue

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Hirevue is being used across our whole organization, and helps us make first contact decisions on hiring candidates. It helps us see someone in person, see them answer preset questions, and we make a quick decision on whether to bring them in for onsite interviews or to pass based on their Hirevue.

Pros and Cons

Pros

They make it easy to evaluate hiring candidates who take the online interview seriously
It's an easy interface that makes sense
I'm able to provide recommendations at many different points in the online interview that then show as a summary recommendation for me to review later, or for my team to reference when they want to see my opinion

Cons

Fundamentally an online interview can be hard for a candidate - it's not easy to sit in front of a computer camera and present yourself as personable, so I don't think it always shows candidates in their best light
I don't believe it gives candidates an option to redo an answer or an interview, which may hurt the process because sometimes things just go wrong
The system stores old interviews for a long time, which muddles the process for successive hires because it's hard to tell the new candidates from the old

Return on Investment

Has made the hiring process more efficient because we rarely bring in anyone for onsite interviews who we haven't already evaluated as a possible fit for the team and possition
It can also slow down the hiring process if candidates are slow or hesitant to take the Hirevue

Alternatives Considered

Have never used anything like HireVue

Other Software Used

Domo, Adaptive Suite, Salesforce.com

Likelihood to Recommend

It's well suited for an interview in which you're just trying to assess personal information about the candidate. It would be less appropriate in my opinion for a case-based interview or a technical interview

Thanks for reviewing HireVue! We are glad that you and your company are on board with us, and have positive thoughts about the platform. I have good news! We offer a technical approach to technical interviews! This program is called CodeVue.mCodeVue technology uses online programming tests to qualify and attract new talent. Read more about this awesome product here: http://hir.vu/1SXxBGW We understand that not everyone is comfortable with webcam interviews. That's why we offer unlimited practice questions with each On Demand interview so that the candidate can get more comfortable and confident before starting the real interview. Did the internet go out? Did they say something they didn't mean to? No need to worry. Our 24/7 support team is here for you and your candidates. Contact them through phone, email or chat at any time: try.hirevue.com/contact/ Accounts can also have the ability to re-do questions. When you are setting up the interview, under "interview setup", enter the questions and then it will have the option to have a retake or two or three - however many you'd like the candidate to have. HireVue stores interviews for up to 1 year, then automatically deletes these interviews from the database. To save space and clutter, you could delete interviews manually, archive interviews, or contact us to have us delete interviews for you as well. We keep interviews for up to one year because we know things can happen, information could be misplaces, and someone might want to see an old interview one more time. Again, thanks for reviewing us. Don't forget to follow us on Twitter @HireVue, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn! - Nicole
