Wasting time interviewing candidates you're never going to hire

We've taken some time to write this review because we were not using it intensely until now.
We liked the team behind the platform so we did bet on them... and it is paying off tenfold.

For one thing, the team is extremely responsive. We haven't had one single inquiry that wasn't replied in few hours if not immediately. You wonder when do they actually sit to code and maintain.
And you know they are hard at work with those 2 because they keep releasing features, improving the platform and listening to their customers.

All in all, we are very satisfied and we can only recommend supporting this team and Hirewire as a platform.

The team have been very responsive to our requests and its a fantastic tool.
We currently have it running a banking video assessment for 100 candidates and it's going really well.

It also worked really well with our clients fire wall and enables them to access the submissions.

Well done team on an excellent platform and great responsive customer service

Before using Hirevire, we were already conducting interviews by asking candidates to send video responses via WhatsApp. This process required having the phone with us at all times, and it often led to disorganization—videos would get lost or were hard to find later. Now, with Hirevire, the entire process is much smoother and more organized. All responses are centralized on the platform, and the interface is incredibly easy and intuitive to use.

One feature we absolutely love is that candidates have the option to retake their video recordings. This not only gives them more comfort but also results in higher-quality responses. Before, creating a video with all the questions was a tedious process that required some technical know-how. Now, thanks to Hirevire, no technical skills are needed, saving us a lot of time.

Regarding improvements, I’d like to highlight two points:

It would be great to have the option to remove the watermark of your company, as it looks less professional in certain contexts.
The ability to include images outside of an iframe would be very useful. Currently, image sizes vary depending on the screen, and this affects the overall presentation.
What sets Hirevire apart from other SaaS platforms I’ve tried (including those available on AppSumo) is the versatility in response formats. Being able to set up questions that can be answered with video, text, audio, an image, a file, multiple-choice options, or even a single-choice test style is fantastic.

As a suggestion, I’d love for AppSumo users to have the ability to include some questions in video format. I understand the resource challenges of offering this feature long-term, but limiting storage or the number of job postings where it can be used could make it feasible. If this were implemented, Hirevire would undoubtedly become my best AppSumo purchase to date.

Lastly, I want to highlight the custom domain feature, which is an excellent detail. The implementation is straightforward, and the result looks highly professional. I’m truly impressed with Hirevire!

Automated Screening Processes: Hirevire enables you to create customized screening questions that candidates can answer asynchronously. This eliminates the need to schedule live interviews for the early stages, streamlining the hiring process significantly.

User-Friendly Interface: Setting up screening workflows is intuitive and straightforward. Whether you're tech-savvy or a beginner, Hirevire offers a smooth learning curve.

Video and Text Responses: The platform supports both video and text-based answers, providing flexibility for candidates and giving hiring managers a comprehensive view of applicants' capabilities.

While Hirevire is highly efficient, some additional features that would be nice to be added to the platform should included

Advanced analytics or AI-powered insights into candidate performance at every plan level and AI resume review could elevate it even further, also having resume upload be a standard process and not have to be built into every job.

Add WorkMap Assessment- With WorkMap factored into your interviews, you don’t have to think about what questions to ask to evaluate candidates’ skills. For example, for an Accounting and Finance job, WorkMap advocates that candidates have Accountability, Analytical Reasoning, Attention to Detail, Commercial Acumen, Problem Solving, and Interpersonal skills.

Add scheduling integration to Calendly to allow people to schedule Zoom interviews before hiring.

Enhanced Candidate Experience: Candidates can complete their screening process at their convenience

Whether you're a startup hiring your first team or an established company looking to refine your hiring process, Hirevire is a must-have. Its robust features, ease of use, and focus on delivering quality results make it a top choice for modern recruitment.

Having worked in the recruitment industry for many years, this is by far one of the best tools I am yet to come across. So simple, so easy, yet so effective. The tool I never knew I needed.. until now! Speeds up the recruitment process, and provides a nice offering to get the recruitment process underway.

As a recruiter with over 20 years of experience, I can confidently say this is one of the best recruitment tools I’ve ever used. It’s incredibly simple, intuitive, and efficient, making it perfect for daily operations. The user-friendly interface allows for seamless navigation, which helps save time and boost productivity. I highly recommend it, especially for small recruitment agencies with up to 5 team members. While I would have preferred the option to include at least two users in the Tier 1 plan, the overall functionality is outstanding. A fantastic investment—highly recommended!

I am a Virtual Assistant Matchmaker, helping small businesses find an amazing Virtual Assistant in the Philippines through a rigorous and thorough process.The biggest challenge has always been the man power hours to interview as many candidates as I've liked. We just wrapped our first full recruitment using Hirevire and it was a game changer. Here's what I learned:

- 1st and foremost, the Hirevire support team is bar none. As we play around with our unique case, there are bound to be some hiccups. We weren't seeing the numbers we hoped for and so I reached out for ideas. BAM. Rapid response with feedback and ideas to try.
- They are listening to our feedback and rapidly adjusting to the feature requests. In the month that I've had Hirevire, I have already seen a huge increase in the value of it's usefulness as they build out more and more.
- I am thrilled about the great possibilities of how we can use it move forward. I was sent a consumer survey from the company and although I shouldn't have been, they used HIREVIRE. Genius. Hands down, I'll be using this for client testimonials moving forward too.
- Don't give up if you have to rework somethings. Due to the market we are in, we had to improvise a bit. Instead of requiring everyone to use exclusively Hirevire, we opened up the option of 1:1 zoom interview or Hirevire - and made a disclaimer that those using the platform would be given priority review. Instant uptick in applications!

I CANNOT WAIT to see how Hirevire continues to mature and am confident that this is the key to simplifying our workflow that I have been looking for.

A Game-Changer for Candidate Screening

We recently had the opportunity to test HireVire with one of our clients, and the results were outstanding. The platform made the candidate screening process incredibly efficient, allowing us to review video submissions from applicants in a streamlined manner. Our client was particularly impressed with the quality and depth of responses provided by the candidates, which added a personal touch that traditional resumes can’t offer.

HireVire’s user-friendly interface and ability to capture a candidate's personality and communication skills through video made it a standout tool. It helped our client quickly identify the best-fit candidates, saving time and improving the overall hiring experience.

Overall, HireVire proved to be highly effective, and we would recommend it to any business looking to enhance their recruitment process.

As a company that still brought folks in for first-round interviews, Hirevire has made a massive impact on our recruitment process! We've brought in about 25 applications so far through Hirevire, and our candidates, as well as management teams, love the system. It has flexible branding, so we can customize the landing page to match our careers site. The UI is very intuitive. The system has a process for categorizing and sharing applications. This is a major time saver for us, and we highly recommend it for anyone hiring at scale.

Thanks for such software

Has non stop made updates and improvements from their launch. One of my favorite software companies, thank you so much for refining your product and brining value to your customers.

I have a business employing people to train them to work as medical secretaries. So I am employing a lot of people. Hirevire is an amazing tool to get job applicants to record themselves answer some interview questions before I interview them in person. This saves me a lot of time in interviewing people who are not suitable for the role. In video you can see their English and communication skills and how they present on video.
I met the owner and developer, Sanat and he is a great guy and very helpful. The support has been excellent.
