Best for video interviews and assessments
HireVue does video interviewing, an AI interviewer and assessments for hiring teams. No price is published and the pricing page sends you to a request-a-demo form. It does not list a free plan or trial.
Who HireVue is for
- Fits if you screen many candidates by recorded or live video
- Works for large employers that need security certifications
Who HireVue is not for
- Skip it if you want a price, as it is demo-only
- Not for you if you want an applicant tracker, as it handles interviews and assessments
- Watch out: plan-level differences are not published
- Watch out: no free plan or trial
Why HireVue gets a 1.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published, so it sits at the ordinary grade until the vendor says.
- FFree plan and trialNo free plan and no trial. The pricing page asks for a demo.
- CFeaturesLive and on-demand video interviews, an AI interviewer, assessments and scheduling. It does that screening job, but it is narrower than a full applicant tracker.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. Candidates need no app, but employers set up interviews and ATS links.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only. The page says it works with leading ATS systems but names none.

Keep HireVue, or make your own?
Keep it
Nothing HireVue does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 35 of the 48 other hiring and applicant tracking tools grade higher.
What you could not
- A library of tested questions with scores to compare candidates by.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: SOC 2.
What this rests on. HireVue’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
