13 Best Video Interview Software Platforms in Q1 2024

While Willo may not offer the same array of features as more established platforms, the video interview software shines with its simplicity, dedication to regular updates, and multilingual capabilities. These qualities make it an excellent choice for growing teams and SMBs, especially considering its free tier and affordable pricing.

One aspect that impressed us is Willo’s focused approach. Rather than trying to do everything at once, Willo prioritizes developing features customers demand. We also appreciated the transparency in pricing and the availability of help documentation, which greatly contributed to the smooth navigation.

Willo's asynchronous video interviews are a valuable tool, providing branded features, intelligent questions, bulk invites, automated reminders, and ID checks. The 24/7 support is also helpful. Willo even provides a page for users to suggest and upvote new features, showcasing its dedication to creating an exceptional user experience.

However, Willo does lack certain features offered by more established platforms. For instance, it doesn’t have live interviews, and respondents cannot record screens as part of their interview responses. The platform offers a mobile-optimized experience instead of a mobile app, yet we found reading questions on mobile devices can be a bit challenging. Willo can only connect with a few native ATSs, so it’s a relief to see it is expanding its integrations (it just added SAP SuccessFactors, SmartRecruiters, and Workday integrations in the past 2 months). We’re also glad to see video transcriptions are on Willo’s roadmap.

5,000+ customers, including Danone, NHS Scotland, 7-Eleven, Samsung, and the University of Pennsylvania.

Willo has three paid plans in addition to its free-forever plan.

• Free Forever: Limited to 1 job and 10 responses per month.
• Starter: $56.25/month when billed annually, for businesses with 1-49 employees.
• Growth: $225/month when billed annually, for businesses with 50-249 employees.
• Scale: from $850/month when billed annually, for businesses with 250 or more employees.
• For businesses who need to build with an API: from $180/month when billed annually.
• 50% discount for nonprofits. Price breaks for startups founded in the past 2 years and have under 10 employees.
• Has a free 15-day trial with all the features of a paid plan.
• Offers month-to-month plans and a 25% discount if you pre-pay for 1 or 2 years of service.

Jobma is by far the one and only vendor we’ve come across that, in addition to its core product video interview tools, offers native features for assessing technical candidates. In other words, you can conduct recorded video interviews, live ones, add written, multiple choice, and audio questions to your asynchronous interviews, and even set up your coding assessment tests using this single platform.

You’d want an interview process that reflects fairness and integrity without intruding on your candidates' personal space. Jobma’s proctoring convinces us it can make that happen by leveraging technology to detect interviewee potential unethical actions, including multiple faces and voices, copy-and-paste, and window-switching.

There’s also a transcription tool within Jobma you can use to transcribe candidate responses. Compared to some AI meeting assistants we have used, like Otter and Fathom, this tool is not inferior at all. Very few minor mistakes we could find in its transcripts. Plus, the texts are searchable, editable, and shareable, meaning your evaluations can be more collaborative and fact-based.

We have nothing to complain about Jobma’s integration capabilities since it has done a great job with both its native integrations and custom ones. The platform provides native, two-way integrations with several major ATS and recruiting tech brands. Even if the app you use daily isn't directly synced with Jobma, you can use Zapier to make the connection (via Zapier, Jobma can integrate with over 5,000 different apps).

However, Jobma won’t make you happy if trying with no strings before buying is your purchasing principle. This vendor has no free plan, and the free trial only comes after the demo, with a few agreements included.

While Jobma’s video interview solutions are solid, we feel that its technical assessment tool leaves quite a few things to be desired. Specifically, the pre-built assessment library is not as extensive as in some dedicated coding assessment sites we know (e.g., HackerEarth and Qualified.io). The platform also lacks gamified and hackathon features.

One thing that blew us away about Spark Hire is the absence of limits on live and one-way interviews across all plans. That's right, no constraints holding you back from conducting interviews to your heart's content.

For one-way video interviews, Spark Hire offers a range of options to customize questions. You can set time limits, control takes, and restrict answer length. Built-in interview evaluation lets you rate, comment, tag, and send rejection emails directly through the platform.

Spark Hire knows how to bring energy to live interviews. You can add your logo, customize colors, and auto-record full-length interviews. Plus, both company users and candidates receive excellent technical support.

Now, here's our favorite part: team-based evaluation. Share interviews with as many hiring managers as you want, collect instant feedback and anonymize candidate information. Get real-time notifications and gather reviews without requiring logins.

Spark Hire doesn't mess around when it comes to pricing, with month-to-month plans and a 20% discount for annual plans. It integrates smoothly with over 40 ATSs and calendars. Oh, did you hear about its recent merger with Comeet ATS? It's to bring a more comprehensive suite of recruiting solutions. Looks promising, doesn’t it?

While there's no free version, you can join a demo to get your hands on a 14-day free trial. But keep in mind the storage limit per plan, as exceeding it incurs additional charges of $15 per month for 5 GB. Just a heads up if you're planning on hiring for six or more positions simultaneously — it could get a bit pricey.

6,000+ customers, including USPS, Ikea, Volkswagen, Bae Systems, and Love’s.

Spark Hire has four plans:

• Lite: $149 per month for unlimited interviews for 1 job at a time with 3 users.
• Pro: $299 per month with unlimited interviews for 5 jobs at a time with 5 users.
• Growth: $499 per month with unlimited interviews for 10 jobs at a time with 6+ users.
• Enterprise has custom pricing.
• 20% discount available for annual Lite, Pro, and Growth plan subscriptions.

myInterview has this awesome screening feature that goes through all your video submissions and doesn't just look at skills, but also personality. That means it helps you find the right fit not only in terms of qualifications but also in terms of who they are.

One thing we really like is that it's mobile-friendly. Candidates don't need to download any apps to do their interviews. Plus, it supports multiple languages like English, French, German, and more. So, it's really user-friendly on both ends.

Let's not forget the customizable interview questions. You get to use different response types like single/multiple choice (with the option to automate rejection based on candidates’ responses), written text, and video; export candidates to a CSV file; download the interviews; or watch them on myInterview with subtitles and playbacks.

The video interviewing software has just transformed its candidate dashboard to Kanban Board so you can easily manage candidates by dragging and dropping them around. You can even send automated emails for the next steps when moving candidates to different columns, like hired or rejected.

Another great move is that myInterview now has a native scheduler. Bulk actions are also there for sharing, rejecting, moving, or deleting candidates in one go. And a search bar for faster candidate filtration.

Regarding team management, you can create groups with custom account permissions and share job access with specific teams or individuals.

Now, there are a couple of downsides. Some users have mentioned that myInterview could use more customization options, as for now, you can't customize the email templates without contacting support. Also, the free plan is no longer available, but you can still try it out with their free trial.

But here's what's missing — there's no live interviewing tool. And if you're into custom integrations, that might cost you extra.

10,000 businesses, including 7-Eleven, Billabong, McDonalds, and Hyatt

myInterview provides two pricing plans, with the minimum contract length of 1 year.

• Individual ($99/month, billed yearly): Offers 2 active jobs, 2 user seats, 6,000 Text/SMS invites, Zapier Integration, unlimited one-way interviews per year.‍
• Professional (custom): Custom options for active jobs, user seats, unlimited one-way interviews, unlimited Text/SMS invites, scheduling, API and custom integrations, multi question types, myInterview intelligence, 24/7 customer support, and more.

We love Hireflix for its comprehensive one-way interview features and overall simplicity. Rather than become a jack-of-all-trades, the platform is laser-focused on one-way video interviews. It is also one of the few tools with a transparent pricing structure.

Creating a test interview on Hireflix is easy. We added video and text questions, set the thinking time for candidates for each, and it was ready to go. Hireflix supports individual and bulk CVS invites. We could send our interview invitation via email or public link. When we joined the interview as a candidate, the interview link pointed us to the interview page directly — no app downloads or signups are required.

Hireflix is also quite generous regarding user access on each of its plans. Even the cheapest subscription offered unlimited seats, positions, multiple brands, and interview responses. The free trial lasts one month (among the longest trial period we’ve seen in this category) and lets users try all Hireflix functionalities. The video interview software even offers a 20% discount to NGOs and startups under two years old.

Hireflix provides integration with various third-party tools and we didn't encounter any issues during the implementation process. However, it’s a bummer that the software doesn’t support any other question types like text-based, multiple-choice, or file upload. It only does video questions. And while it has a page where interviewees can test their tech before joining the interviews, there are neither online instructions available on the website nor mock interviews they can practice to get ready for the real one.

Hireflix offers a 1-month free trial and three pricing plans. All plans include one-way interviews, inviting candidates at scale, and reviewing responses as a team, unlimited users, unlimited active jobs, integrations, and support. When billed annually:

• Small: Priced at $75/month, this plan is ideal for businesses with less than 50 employees.
• Medium: This plan costs $150 per month and is geared towards mid-sized companies with 50-250 employees.‍
• Custom: Hireflix offers a custom quote for corporates, recruitment agencies, and other use cases.

VidCruiter is one of the pioneers in the video interview space. It gives users the flexibility to choose between pre-recorded and live video interviews, both, or even combine them with other VidCruiter’s offerings (ATS, Scheduler, Reference Checking) for an end-to-end hiring solution.

What impressed us most about VidCruiter is its commitment to enterprise-grade security, with certifications and compliance that ensure data protection in multiple geographic zones. We also appreciate its multi-language support. With availability in 8 languages, it goes the extra mile by providing requested languages within 48 hours for applicants and 4 weeks for recruiters.

VidCruiter's interface provides real-time candidate display, standardized questions, and rating guide, making things easier for interviewers to assess candidates during live interviews. It also incorporates frameworks for diversity, equity, and inclusion to mitigate bias. Plus, the option to invite guest raters adds an extra layer of collaboration to the interview process.

Another plus is VidCruiter’s customer support. The availability of a 24/7 live agent, email support, and a dedicated account manager truly sets the software apart. There is also on-demand tech assistance and a testing page for candidates to ensure a seamless interview experience.

However, implementation can take time, owing to the customization levels customers require. While you can treat VidCruiter like a plug-and-play tool (having no requirements for custom workflows), it isn’t recommended if you want to derive the best value from the software. Additionally, VidCruiter's pricing is more tailored to the higher-end market. Lastly, VidCruiter is a paid product without a free trial option.

100,000+ customers, including Lowe’s, Lionsgate, Samsung, Bears, US Foods, and United Nations.

VidCruiter pricing depends on the hiring volumes, so it’s best to contact the vendor directly for a quote.

Clovers set themselves apart with a strong focus on advancing their hiring intelligence offerings. Alongside video interview tools, you'll find Job Description Optimization and Resume Redaction Review. This is achieved through their acquisition of TalVista, a diversity recruiting tool, and ongoing collaborations with established social psychologists.

Clovers provides flexibility in how you can access their services. You can opt for individual one-way or live video interviews, or bundle them together. Their one-way interviews include unlimited jobs, intro/outro videos, replay, playback speed controls, and transcriptions. The live interview bundle comes with a searchable candidate database, blinded evaluator ratings, and analytics for interviewer coaching.

For structured hiring, Clovers provides 1,000 I/O-certified role-based questions and collaborative features like ratings, in-line tagging, plus AI note-taking for a streamlined assessment process.

This platform doesn't leave you hanging when it comes to support. They offer various means of assistance, including Slack, chat, email, and phone support, along with dedicated training. Clovers also ensures candidates are well-supported with a mobile-optimized interface and various help options, including a support page, rehearsal, chatbot, and online guides.

However, it's a bummer that candidates need to sign up to access the support page. Additionally, the interview interface lacks information on allowed response takes per question and doesn't support candidate feedback options post-interview.

As recruiters who craft one-way video interviews, you may find the lack of question types limiting, as Clovers only supports video, audio, and text questions. They neither offer free trials nor a native scheduling tool, and Structured Interview Guides are available as a separate purchase. While the platform is compatible with Zoom and Microsoft Teams, there is currently no support for Google Meet.

Thanks to their flexible pricing structures, Clovers have served organizations, big and small. Notable names include Afni, Comparably, Community Choice Credit Union, Raytheon, and Walgreens.

Clovers pricing starts at $5,000 with an annual subscription requirement. They offer five products that can be purchased individually or bundled: Job Description Optimization, Resume Redaction Review, Structured Interview Guides, One-way Video Interview Screen, and Live Video Interview Intelligence. They also have a custom plan for enterprises named Clovers Enterprise Plus.

“Looking good!” was our immediate thought once we laid eyes on BarRaiser’s dashboard. It’s not just beautiful but also user-friendly. With quick training from the vendor, we found no issues navigating the platform on our first try.

BarRaiser’s AI Interview Copilot is by far our favorite feature. As expected from an AI trained by over 110,000 real interviews, this interview copilot has a knack for providing tailored questions based on job descriptions and candidates' resumes, whether you need them before or during interviews. While other video interview software like Willo and myInterview lean more towards first-round interviews, the way BarRaiser’s AI Copilot is designed makes it work extremely well for in-depth, technical ones where questions delve much deeper into candidates' skills, experiences, and qualifications.

An added bonus is that both you and your candidates can use your existing video conference tools like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams for BarRaiser interviews. Instead of hosting its own video interview platform, BarRaiser’s AI works in harmony with these apps, assisting interviewers with the candidate profiles, interview flow, alerts for straying from the structure, sample questions, and real-time feedback. The algorithms also auto-calculates the interviewee's score, which can help a lot in shortlisting candidates post-interview.

BarRaiser’s interview coaching is on par with Clovers, with AI taking notes on key insights and observations during interviews that can be shared among interviewers for future improvements.

However, this video interview software can get quite expensive for teams with less than 500 employees. While it offers a free plan with 5 interviews, this may be not enough even if you hire just a position or two per year. BarRaiser’s Team plan caps the number of interviews at 30 per month, with a 60-minute duration limit for each interview. These fixed numbers sure limit flexibility and nudge users to upgrade to its highest-priced plan for more monthly interviews allowed.

We appreciate the responsiveness of its customer service. Whether our editors reach out during U.S. or Asian working hours, there’s always a person picking up our calls. However, considering fellow enterprise-focused solutions like Vidcruiter and Clovers offer dedicated support for all users regardless of their purchased plans, we think it's a fair point for BarRaiser to consider offering a similar level of support.

500+ companies, including Nike, Vimeo, and Hubspot.

BarRaiser has three plans:

• Interviewer Lite is free and comes with 5 interviews and AI note-taking.
• Team costs $75 per interviewer per month and caps the number of interviews to 30 interviews per month.
• Enterprise has custom pricing.

BarRaiser doesn’t charge observer licenses and offers a free trial post-demo.

Known for its customizable ATS and CRM, Avature has established itself as a top choice for enterprises and staffing agencies. Recently, it has introduced a video interview platform to meet the demands of remote hiring. It seamlessly integrates with Avature's suite or can be used as a standalone option for video interviewing.

What sets Avature apart is its built-in, form-based questions that enable managers to filter candidates based on their answers. You can easily review and share recordings with other team members to gather quick feedback. Avature also leverages AI with features like automatic talent matching and candidate ranking, helping you streamline the screening process.

Another thing we really like about Avature is its language support. It supports English, German, French, Spanish, and Mandarin, making it accessible to a diverse pool of candidates. With Avature, you can screen candidates through live or asynchronous video interviews, allowing them to submit recordings for later evaluations.

The recruiter mobile app is another highlight. You can perform recruiting tasks on the go, even offline. And when you're back online, it automatically syncs with the system, keeping you productive.

However, Avature doesn't disclose pricing upfront, and there's no free trial available. The user interface may take some time to get used to, and managing access restrictions has some limitations. Although not a major drawback, having a dedicated channel for user feature requests and product updates would be a valuable addition to the platform.

650+ companies, including Shell, Cisco, L'Oréal, Mondelez, and KPMG.

When it comes to affordability, we must admit that HireVue may not be the most budget-friendly option. However, in serving large enterprises, it excels at automating workflows and simplifying mass hiring processes. One aspect that truly impresses us is the comprehensive suite of tools it offers, from video interviewing to assessments, scheduling, and conversational AI.

Among these tools, the video interview software stands out for several reasons. It allows for both live and asynchronous interviews, and these both provide a mobile-friendly experience.

Another highlight is HireVue's extensive product guide, which includes over a thousand job-specific interview guides crafted by organizational psychologists. Creating the first interviews, thus, is much easier, and users even have access to HireVue's team of psychologists for assistance in shortlisting qualified candidates.

We should also mention the virtual hiring assistant offered. This conversational AI is capable of addressing candidates' questions and guiding them through the hiring process via text. It handles scheduling, manages hiring events, and helps job seekers find suitable positions. However, compared to other conversational AIs in the market, HireVue's AI assistant could benefit from more human-like interactions. While it presents itself as a virtual assistant, some candidates may find the lack of a human touch discouraging when engaging with the tool.

Amazon, Unilever, Vodafone, Beacon Health System, SmartLynx Airlines.

HireVue has two pricing plans:

• Essential: starts at $35,000 per month for a company with 2,500-7,500 employees and includes live and on-demand interviewing features, custom branding, and single language configuration.‍
• Enterprise: custom pricing for companies with over 7,500 employees. In addition to all the features of the Essentials plan, this plan comes with scheduling, a chatbot, pre-built ATS integrations, and analytics, among others.

interviewstream offers both on-demand and live interviews, and the former is particularly popular for education purposes. Educators can use it to help students excel in job interviews and soft skills and seek feedback. However, what truly caught our attention was the option to let candidates reattempt specific questions — something not commonly found on other video interview platforms.

The live video interviewing feature isn’t bad at all. It provides intuitive options such as sharing interviews with multiple stakeholders, commenting on videos, and rating candidates. The only downside is that sharing the screen requires a plugin download, which can be a bit of a hassle.

For employers, interviewstream offers 1,500 interview questions and evaluation guides, plus AI tools to suggest how to help hiring managers stay productive. Branding features are also well taken care of, with options to customize logos, font, and page color, to name a few.

Candidates are not left behind, as interviewstream offers support via a pre-interview hardware test to ensure tech readiness. Moreover, the platform includes a practice recording section that guides candidates through the interview process.

Unfortunately, interviewstream falls short in integration capabilities (8 native ATS integrations). We also don’t like that interviewees need to download a mobile app to take interviews on phones. Not to mention, the app has received mixed reviews: The iOS app hasn't been updated since 2021 and still carries the old brand name (RIVS) while the Android app suffers from frequent login issues and bugs.

900+ organizations, including Harford County Public Schools, East Baton Rouge Schools, and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Interviewstream pricing isn’t disclosed. You need to contact their sales team for more details.

Our first impression of Recright was that the tool was super easy to navigate through. It’s straightforward to customize visual elements, such as interview layouts and career pages. The platform also features a built-in test to verify candidates' network connection and hardware compatibility. Loved the feedback feature, enabling candidates to provide input after their interviews. Recright's multilingual support for candidates in 26 languages and recruiters in over 10 languages is another nice touch.

However, we were expecting to have a pause button on the tool’s video recorder. This would be helpful because, as interviewers, we may need to take a moment to think when asking candidates questions. We’d also like to be able to resend invitations to candidates who have not answered the first invitation. As Recright currently doesn’t support that, following up with potential candidates can be challenging. Talking of candidate invites, it’d also be great to have more customization options there to make the messages sent unique. For now, there’s no text formats, styles, or variables that can be used when we craft emails to send to interviewees.

Recright offers native ATS integration and supports 18 other ATSs, but live video interviewing, the scheduler, and even branding options and integrations cost extra. Lastly, a heads up if you need to change accounts’ email addresses: this requires creating a new username, and there is no automatic way to transfer previous job ads and interviews from the old account to the new one.

500+ companies, including Uber, Netflix, Volvo, ABB, and KPMG.

Recright offers four pricing plans after the free trial:

• Easy Plan: Starts at $289/month for teams with 10-20 positions per year.
• Pro Plan: Starts at $519/month for teams with 30-50 positions per year.
• Enterprise Plan: Custom pricing for teams with over 60 positions per year.
• Single Hire: $759 per video recruitment, including a job ad and a video interview, valid for 60 days.
• Additional features like Live Video interviews, Timed Interviews, Interviews Scheduling, and Custom integrations are available at 39.75€/month/feature.

What sets Harver apart is its combination of video interviews with customizable assessments, allowing for comprehensive candidate evaluations. The built-in scheduling tool keeps things running smoothly, and the pre-interview test link ensures candidates' tech is set up right. Plus, they've got nifty features like gathering applicant feedback and giving recruiters the power to extend video submission deadlines.

Regarding interview assessments, Harver’s auto-share feature enables the automatic sharing of candidate interviews with designated evaluators, who can rate, comment, and thumbs-up videos. The platform also sends reminders to evaluators, ensuring they don’t forget their duties. With evaluation results based on consistent criteria and automated aggregation, comparing candidates and making data-driven hiring decisions becomes much more straightforward.

Harver boasts over 30+ native ATS integrations. And when users need a little help, customer support is on the ball.

However, we noticed there's a little snag related to mobile access. Interviewees are required to download an app, which can be a real pain in the neck. Some users have reported occasional issues with the app's interview submission and launch processes.

Harver also doesn’t have the best user-friendl UI, as users new to recruitment technology may encounter some learning curves. And unfortunately, the platform just says no to free trials and disclosed pricing.

1,300+ companies, including NexRep, Arvato, and HEMA.
