HireVue review

HireVue started in video interviews and assessments, and now wraps them with conversational tools for high-volume hiring. A website chat agent learns what a candidate wants and steers them to the right role instead of letting them mass apply, and recruiters can invite hundreds of candidates with a text campaign and answer them one to one or in bulk from one dashboard, with every message captured for compliance. Text-to-apply ads and QR codes bring in applicants from outside the career site. Screening then moves to 24/7 AI interviews that HireVue builds on validated hiring science, followed by skills tests and an interview co-pilot that takes notes on Zoom or Teams. Restaurant group Maggiano's says its HireVue chatbot closed 66% of open requisitions in 2 weeks. The trade-off is that HireVue is an enterprise purchase with no published price, and its assessment depth goes well beyond what a single-site employer needs.
