Overall Satisfaction with VidCruiter

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are utilizing VidCruiter to screen applicants to cut down on the face-to-face interviews of candidates that would not be a good fit for our organization. VidCruiter allows hiring managers a glimpse into a potential candidate before inviting them in for a more thorough vetting process. By using VidCruiter, our hiring managers have saved precious time!

Pros and Cons

Integration with ATS

Most Important Features

Cut down time interviewing
Increase diversity of workforce
Provide an opportunity to really see if a candidate is aligned with our mission, vision, and core beliefs

Return on Investment

Increased diversity in workforce
Increased time-to-hire as our current process will not allow a candidate to progress to further vetting without the video interview being completed
Provide opportunity for hiring managers to rate candidates and have ratings viewed by all

Alternatives Considered

Spark Hire and InterviewStream Hire

Spark Hire touted integration with our ATS, but after further investigation, the integration came via the Google Chrome browser. There was not a true integration, and I did not like that part of their pitch. InterviewStream directly aligned to our ATS, but it was way out of our price range for a video interviewing solution.

Likelihood to Recommend

We have created long-standing positions within VidCruiter so that all of the legwork is done initially. If we need to tweak something, that's easily done. VidCruiter can be used more like an ATS, but we are only utilizing it as a link-based video interview. What this means is we send a link to an applicant who then clicks on it once invited. The option exists for applicants to post the link to a particular job, but with our ATS, the link-based method was the best way to go.
