Overall Satisfaction with HireVue

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

HireVue is being used by my department, as well as two others, within my organization. It helps us gauge medical competence, customer service skills and bedside manner in candidates who are being considered for a front-line position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

It allows us to see how fluently a candidate is able to react and speak to direct prompts; the same way a face-to-face interview would.
It allows us to test their medical knowledge.
It allows us to assess their computer/technical knowledge.

Cons

Higher resolution videos, to match the otherwise trendy image of the application; which is visible to external candidates and can shape their view of our company.
Ability to share video of individual responses. This would be useful when a hiring manager needs an SME (within the organization, but who might not use HireVue) to validate the answer to a specific question for any reason.
Ability to change how interviews are scored without having to create a new profile.

Return on Investment

Faster lead conversion.
Smaller time-requirement for hiring managers to vet out candidates.
Smaller time-commitment required for final in-person interview.

Likelihood to Recommend

I believe it satisfies the basic purpose of screening candidates efficiently; this can be useful when candidates are remote, or when a company needs to staff up quickly.

It is less appropriate for positions where the incumbent would be required to answer to or collaborate with a variety of departments or stakeholders, as they may each have different interview questions or scenarios they want to probe, and a cookie-cutter interview is not sufficient for all to gauge or assess.

Thanks for reviewing HireVue! We appreciate the time you took to review us! I'm glad we are able to assist you with your recruiting processes. With higher resolution videos, are you referring to HireVue videos, or candidate/recruiter videos for specific interviews? Unfortunately some candidates may have better webcams which would be a factor in video resolution and clarity. If a webcam does not have sufficient quality imaging, we would be happy to send the candidate a webcam free of charge. Unfortunately there isn't a way to send just one particular question to someone else. However, this is a great idea and I will add this as a feature request! Our feature requests get reviewed constantly and usually they are implemented as they are deemed a good fit. You can score candidates, and change the scoring without having to create a new profile. Could you go into more detail as to what feature you are wanting to have? I will be able to assist you with a little more information. Thanks again for reviewing us.
