The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published, so it sits at the ordinary grade until the vendor says. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan and no trial. The pricing page asks for a demo. |
| Features | C | Live 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. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Candidates need no app, but employers set up interviews and ATS links. |
| Platforms and integrations | C | Web only. The page says it works with leading ATS systems but names none. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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: 72 of the 101 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.
