remain anonymous. This ensured authentic feedback. Incentives were also used to motivate
response from a broad spectrum of customers, i.e. not just advocates. All reviewers were vetted
by our research team to ensure that they were legitimate customers and that their feedback was
authentic and unbiased.

HireVue InsightsPredictive Language Assessment & Analytics

HireVue Insights is a predictive layer that analyzes audio and video interview content. It gives
organizations visibility into 3 key areasquality of candidates by ranking them in read time
based on prior top performers, quality of interviewers based on the accuracy of interviewers
in picking those top performers, and quality of process, ensuring all members of an interview
team are aligned on criteria of a top candidate. Over time, through machine learning the model
becomes tailored to the individual companys hiring patterns and performance data, which can

What business problems does

HireVue solve?
HireVue is designed to be a video, mobile, big data driven layer on top of a companys ATS, CRM,
and ERP systems. It is an interactive video platform that includes predictive analytics for recruiting,
interviewing, employee performance coaching and assessment. Although it is a software product
that helps with recruiting and coaching, it does not replace an Applicant Tracking System or a Talent
Management Suite. Rather, it fits into the stack just ahead of your ATS.
Reviews of HireVue on TrustRadius include in-depth descriptions of use case and deployment specs.
Here weve gathered some descriptions of user experience with HireVues key use cases: hiring/
interview videos and sales performance coaching. While HireVue Build is the foundation of the
product, and the most established use case, the vendor is now focused on building out coaching
features for the Sales use case as well. According to the vendor, customer suggestions were the
initial reason for developing HireVue Coach.
Key Use Cases

1. HireVue Build: Digital interviews & company introductions
HireVue Build is interactive video and analytics for recruiting, interviewing, selecting, and
onboarding new employees. It hosts live, live recorded, or on demand recorded video interviews,
with Q&A style recordings that include images and video scenario options, written responses, and
technical assessments. For example, CodeVue serves up interactive programming challenges for a
variety of technical positions. In addition to getting a sense of the candidates skills and personality,
candidates can also get a sense of company culture through video introductions, video questions,
onboarding videos, and branded landing pages.

2. HireVue Coach: Sales coaching & training

HireVue Coach applies the core interactive video features to coaching and training sales teams.
This is an important aspect of the team acceleration value proposition; HireVue promises to help
efficiently get new reps up to speed and sustainably coach a large sales team. According to the
vendor, this two-tier approach supports very large, disparate teams and teams that are trying to
scale rapidly. Coach presents a new use case for the HireVue platform. User feedback for this use
case is limited, but an early adopter describes HireVue sales coaching featuresincluding roleplaying practice videos and peer feedbackas helpful for honing sales messaging and improving
performance.
We started using HireVue in the sales department to ensure that we are hiring the right candidates for the position and
our company. Additionally, we are using the Accelerate platform to conduct sales role-playing. The sales team is sharpening
their message and we are instituting peer feedback. We are looking to expand the use of HireVue into the development
team with the CodeVue platform within the next few months.
The 2 business problems we were looking to solve were:
Hire the best sales professional in a short amount of time

Who uses HireVue?

Customer Demographics
According to user demographics on TrustRadius,
HireVue is used mainly at enterprises and
mid-sized companies across a wide range of
industries, with users spread amongst various
departments. Although about two thirds of
users work in HR departments, the remaining
third were distributed fairly evenly among
many different departments. These users most
likely interacted with HireVue while evaluating
candidate videos for their department, applying
to a department themselves, or creating
company culture introduction videos. The
vendor says that this cross-company interaction
with the software is a major differentiator
from traditional HR software, which does not
typically engage users from other departments.
(Beyond the hiring use case, Sales users may
also have utilized HireVue for coaching.)

What are users accomplishing

with HireVue?
Based on user feedback on TrustRadius, we have identified several of the strongest features of
HireVue, as well as the top areas HireVue users struggle or would like to see future development.
Many of these top-of-mind attributes are interrelated and multifaceted; in reviews, users often discuss
multiple features as they work together. In addition, not all users agree about HireVue pros and cons
where there are significant differences in opinion, we aim to explain the nuances in user sentiment.
Strengths
1. Candidate review process
Users said HireVue had strong features to support transparency, efficiency, and accountability
during candidate review. In particular, users liked the review notifications system and the way
HireVue structures segmented video responses to be reviewed. Some reviewers said that HireVue
helped them distribute review responsibilities, whereas others used HireVue to collaborate on
candidates; in both cases, users said HireVue improved their candidate review process.
Nice features set up for review purposes, such as

2. User-friendly for candidates and administrators

Many reviewers said HireVue was easy for companies and candidates to use; it requires some
instruction, but is fairly intuitive and extremely convenient. Across reviews in general, HireVues
user-friendliness is a strength. However, a handful of users thought the HireVue admin UI could use
improvement, and a few said candidates had struggled to use HireVue correctlythey explained that
this could be related to the candidates age and/or lack of tech savviness, rather than being a flaw of
HireVue. Several reported that candidates gave positive feedback on the innovative, digital nature of
HireVue, which made the user experience relevant and enjoyable for digitally-native generations.
Note: The vendor says they offer 24/7 support for candidates and hiring managers to help with
any difficulties.
HireVue Pros:
The interface for both us and the candidates
is very user friendly.

3. Good for initial screening

According to users, HireVue adds lots of value as a replacement for phone interviewsit saves
time for HR, since they dont have to attend each interview, and is a better overall indicator of
candidates communication skills. Although some said HireVue is used to conduct intermediate
and final-round interviews, most said they thought HireVue was best suited for initial interviews,
particularly with a high volume of applicants.
We use HireVue for the initial round of our
screening process. We send all high potential
candidates a template that we design and give them
a range of time to complete it. It has been a huge
time saver because before we purchased HireVue,
we were doing many, many phone screens each day.

4. Good for assessing technical skills

Users also said HireVue worked well for assessing technical skills and knowledge. This is helpful
for evaluating candidates medical knowledge, programming, and/or writing proficiency. Users said
these qualifications had been difficult to assess in their previous interview flow (often over the
phone, or using multiple applications).
[HireVue] helps us gauge medical competence,
customer service skills and bedside manner in
candidates who are being considered for a front-line
position. []
HireVue Pros:

variety of roles and positions.

6. HireVue Partnership: customer service, support, and product innovation

Many users said they like working with HireVue, citing the responsiveness of customer service and
support teams, as well as continual product innovation.

very helpful. [] HireVue does a good job with quality

Areas for Improvement

1. Editing interviews for current positions
Users involved in interview creation liked the ability to create and modify their own templates, but
were frustrated that they could not edit the interview once the job had been posted/opened. In
some cases, users wanted to modify the instructions, response time limits, or question text, based
on feedback they received from candidates. In other cases, users wanted more oversightsuch as a
preview featureto catch their own spelling mistakes, etc.
Id really like to have a preview for interviews before
sending them out to the team/candidates.
Derek Pharr - Vice President of Products,

HireVue Cons:
Interview questions! Once these are set, theres
not an option to add/delete/modify questions.
Instead of having to create an entirely new interview,
it would be nice to have the option of adding to
current interviews.

2. Depth of integration to ATS

A few users said HireVue integrates well into their existing hiring workflow and/or technology stack.
More commonly though, users said they would like to see improvements around HireVues level of
integration with their ATS. They expressed frustration at having to manually enter applicant data or
switch back and forth between systems; users described this as a lag in HireVues otherwise highly
efficient candidate workflow. Though the vendor says it does offer ATS integration, based on user
commentary, it seems that HireVue may work better with some applicant tracking systems than
others. Some users said they would like to see HireVue offer more applicant tracking features itself.
I would love if HireVue interfaced with our
application system so we dont have to input every
interviewee individually.

3. Archives & candidate management

Some users found the HireVue archive system and features for managing candidates limiting.
Users would like to see improvements around bulk actions, archiving candidates, searching through
archives, locating older candidate videos, deleting candidates from the system, and reassigning
candidates to other positions.
I would like to be able to archive more than 1

position at a time. The current archive process is

4. Some candidates are unfamiliar with digital interviews

There are many things reviewers liked about the HireVue UX, including the ease of navigation,
the ability to record and review videos on their own time, and the platforms branded, modern
feel. But innovation entails a degree of unfamiliarity; because HireVue takes a unique approach to
video interviews, users said that some candidates found the experience awkward, uncomfortable,
or inconvenient. According to users, requiring candidates to use unfamiliar technology can make
it challenging for them to put their best foot forward. For this reason, several recommended that
HireVue be used along with other types of interviews/assessments, in order to get a more robust
Page 17 of 22
and balanced sense of the candidate. One user had experience with HireVue both as a candidate
and as a recruiter, and said that while submitting responses via HireVue was stressful, the behavioral
insights captured on video were very valuable to the hiring team.
Its not an end-all-be-all tool for recruiting and
hiring because some candidates find that its a
bit impersonal and crave back and forth human
interaction in the interview process. However its
a great piece of the recruiting technology stack.

5. Less appropriate for some situations

Users commented that HireVue works better for some use cases than others. They recommended
evaluating how well HireVues approach matches your needs and expectationswhat type of roles
your company aims to fill, which programming languages may be used during interviews, volume
of candidates, and whether there is already a fixed scoring system in place. Users said HireVue was
more challenging for some situations, in terms of attracting or evaluating appropriate candidates.
While a few users said HireVue was appropriate for all types of roles, the general sentiment was that
HireVue is less appealing to candidates applying for high-level management positions.
HireVue works very well for college recruiting
and mid level recruiting. It is a bit of a challenge for
blue collar positions as many candidates are
still intimidated by the technology.
Rose Rush - VP HR & Risk,

people. HireVue is a good tool for initial screening
or weeding out of candidates. For a position that is
harder to fill or more difficult to recruit for, a phone
or in-person interview may be better. In addition,
HireVue is probably more suited for Millennials or
below. People who are comfortable and familiar with
daily use of technology will probably feel better using
this software.

cumbersome, and can be roadblocks on the candidates end. They reported some performance
issues with video quality that seemed to be related to these requirements. This is not a flaw of
HireVue itself, but can be a challenge depending on the companys and/or candidates network
setup. The HireVue platform does have a compatibility algorithm to scan to make sure candidates
systems will work before connecting, but users said it isnt always sufficient to prevent poor
quality recordings.
Note: The vendor recognizes that they cant control a customers operating system internally,
the versions of software their company provides, or the level of bandwidth they have in certain
locations. HireVue has encouraged their customers to move to WebRTC in order to improve
performance compatibility. However, in general the vendor says the platform is able to adjust to
low bandwidth situations, even airline wifi signals.
The platform screens interviewees systems to
ensure sound can be heard; but cant necessarily
guarantee a viable interview (e.g., free of background
noise, volume high enough to be heard, etc.) will
be recorded.

ROI on HireVue
We asked HireVue users to tell us what ROI theyve seen so far. Many said that it improved their
hiring process by making interviews more time and cost efficient. For example, several users said
HireVue streamlined the interview scheduling and evaluation processes, saving admin time. Some
said HireVue helped them screen initial candidates to narrow down the final contenders, reducing
travel expenses. Users also mentioned the effect of HireVue on their employer brand, in terms of
candidate perception. Although a few said using HireVue may dissuade candidates from applying,
most said using HireVue improved their candidates overall perception of the company, attracting
more valuable, tech-savvy, and committed applicants.
ROI on HireVue purchase:
Much faster screening and reduction of
time wasted in bad interviews - over 50%
productivity gain.
Significant reduction of time wasted in
scheduling interviews and coordinating diaries.
Branding benefit - hard to quantify, but the
positive feedback from executives has led to
more inquiry for our services (we are the only
player in our market using HireVue).
