Why teams switch

Why teams look for a HireVue alternative

HireVue does a lot, and for big enterprise programs it can be the right call. Teams usually look elsewhere because of:

  1. 1

    Cost and contracts. There’s no public pricing, contracts are reported to start around $35K a year, and they’re often multi-year.

  2. 2

    Setup time. Rollouts are usually a project with implementation, not something you start the same week.

  3. 3

    Fit. Mid-market teams often pay for an assessment suite they don’t use.

  • ?Are your roles mostly hourly (text-first) or professional (video)?
  • ?Are fake candidates and AI-cheating showing up in your pipeline?
