Overall Satisfaction with HireVue

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use HireVue for most of our recruitment projects (GMs, CEOs, CFOs and administrative support), both external and internal. Some of our clients also use HireVue for onboarding new team members.

Pros and Cons

Pros

HireVue is excellent for remote recruitment projects.
It provides a level playing field - everyone gets the same questions without any interviewer bias.
HireVue allows us to give more candidates the opportunity to sell themselves than we would be able to provide if we met with everyone face to face immediately.

Cons

The lack of queues or immediate feedback is challenging for some candidates, particularly those who are discussing support roles.

Return on Investment

Although I can't quote any figures, we have won recruitment projects on the basis of our use of HireVue, including a number of roles that we have managed interstate.

Other Software Used

JobAdder Recruitment Software, Xero, Harvest

HireVue is excellent for high level roles, remote roles (FIFO included), where there is a time difference and/or high volumes of candidates. It is more challenging to get support candidates engaged - it is way out of the comfort zone for many of them, and can actually be a barrier to some candidates that otherwise appear to be very good. I would also be less likely to use it when I have approached a candidate, or where candidates are extremely scarce.

Hi Tamara! Thanks for reviewing HireVue! We appreciate you taking the time to review us. We take pride in being the best digital interviewing system on the market! I'm so happy you have won and completed projects while using us! That's fantastic to hear. We understand that not everyone likes the idea of doing a digital interview. We have unlimited practice questions before the initial interview for candidates to complete so they can feel more confident and comfortable with taking the interview. If they (or you) need assistance, we have a 24/7 support team readily available through chat, phone or email: try.hirevue.com/contact-us Follow us on Twitter @HireVue, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+! - Nicole
