Overall Satisfaction with HireVue

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use HireVue within our own recruiting department and for some of our clients to assist with their recruiting needs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Good way to quickly screen and assess candidates when utilizing one way videos.
I also like the two way video feature for more in-depth videos.
I have used the two way video feature and recorded the interview so other parties could view them later to aid in the decision making process.

Cons

I don't think this is a HireVue issue per se but a lot of our managers are on the road constantly and you need quite a strong WiFi signal for the video feature to work properly.
We need to be able to articulate the clear advantages of using something like HireVue over FaceTime or Skype which a lot of our clients are used to using and see and easy and free.

Return on Investment

HireVue has allowed us to provide better customer service to our clients via a unique solution for their recruiting needs.
In some instances it has helped us cut down on travel costs for candidates by utilizing video interviews instead of face to face interviews flying candidates around the country for interviews.

We prefer HireVue due to the ease of use and the recording function as compared to Skype. Zoom is a platform one of our clients elected to go with and already had in place, I can't say we fully evaluated it, however, my limited knowledge would say the two are comparable.

Other Software Used

Oracle HCM Cloud (including Taleo)

Likelihood to Recommend

I think it can always be utilized, sometimes our short timelines can make it really challenging but overall HireVue is a valuable too.

Thank you for reviewing us! We take feedback very seriously and appreciate the time you took to review us. I'm happy to see that we have helped you with your recruiting process and that we can save you time and money! You are correct - you do need a stable web connection when using HireVue. That goes for any other web service as well, but if you are ever having connection issues, please don't hesitate to call, email or chat with our 24/7 support team as we can diagnose the problem and get your connection issues resolved: try.hirevue.com/contact-us The main advantages with HireVue is that it is browser-based, it is a more professional interviewing and scheduling tool as well as a system that is built for interaction. We love Skype, in fact we use it at HireVue to keep in touch with friends and colleagues that work abroad. But it is not a tool built for interviewing. With HireVue Live you have a system that allows you to schedule and conduct interviews (with up to four people at a time!) in a purpose-built environment designed for interviewing. Also the interaction is recorded so other people not available at that time can review as needed, when they want to. Feel free to reach out to us on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, and Instagram! - Nicole
