How the market splits
Hiring platforms split into five groups. Enterprise suites (HireVue, VidCruiter, Talview) combine interviews, assessments and scheduling on quoted pricing. Async video tools (Spark Hire, Willo, Hireflix, Interviewer.AI, Jobma and myInterview, now part of Radancy) record one-way answers, and most of them publish prices. Assessment platforms (TestGorilla, Vervoe, Criteria, Harver) centre on skills, cognitive and behavioural tests. Interview notetakers such as Metaview and BrightHire write up live calls. AI screening tools question every applicant: Paradox and Sapia.ai by chat, Glider AI by phone and video with proctored skills tests. Beatview is built for recruitment agencies, combining resume screening, one-way AI video interviews and client sharing.

How to choose a hiring platform
Six checks that separate a good fit from a feature checklist.
- 01
Interview format
One-way video, live video, or audio and written answers. Match the format to the stage you are replacing.
- 02
Evidence behind AI scores
Check whether reviewers can see why a candidate scored as they did, and that people make the decision.
- 03
Pricing model
Per role, per seat, credits or quote. Model the cost at your real hiring volume before comparing.
- 04
Workflow coverage
Resume screening, interviews, assessments and client review in one place, or several tools to connect.
- 05
Integrations by plan
Confirm your ATS is supported natively and which plan unlocks integrations, API and webhooks.
- 06
Candidate notice and data
Review consent, recording retention and where candidate data is processed before rollout.
Hiring platform comparisons: frequently asked questions
Still deciding?
Bring a live vacancy and we’ll walk through where automation ends and recruiter review begins.
One-way (asynchronous) video interview software sends candidates a set of pre-written questions that they answer on camera in their own time, usually with a time limit per answer. Reviewers watch the recordings later, so no interview has to be scheduled. Tools such as Beatview, Spark Hire, Willo and Hireflix support one-way interviews; some also score or summarise answers with AI.
As of 1 October 2026, Beatview, Spark Hire, TestGorilla, Willo, Hireflix, Interviewer.AI and Metaview publish prices on their websites. HireVue, VidCruiter, Vervoe, Talview, Jobma, Paradox, BrightHire, Harver, Criteria, Glider AI and myInterview (now part of Radancy) provide pricing on request, and Sapia.ai quotes a price per hire.
Beatview has a Free plan with one active job and unlimited candidates for that job (AI video interviews are on Pro). TestGorilla has a Free plan with 10 credits a month, and Metaview has free notetaker and application review tiers. Hireflix offers a free first month, Interviewer.AI a 14-day trial, and Criteria a 14-day trial for employers.
Beatview reviewed each vendor’s own pricing and product pages between 15 September 2026 and 1 October 2026, and links every source on the comparison page. Where a vendor does not publish a detail, the page says so instead of guessing. Beatview publishes these pages about its own market, so confirm current terms with each vendor before buying.
