Candidate Experience,
Hiring

In today’s fast-paced hiring landscape, creating a seamless and positive experience for candidates is essential. At HireVue, we’re dedicated to transforming the hiring process into one that values the individual behind the application—or as we like to say, putting the human back in human resources. 

Our solutions are designed not just to simplify the recruiter’s role but to ensure that candidates feel respected and empowered at every step of their journey.

Meeting candidates where they are

The journey begins the moment a candidate visits your careers page. With HireVue, candidates are greeted by our intuitive chatbot, ready to assist them in exploring opportunities. This early interaction sets the tone, showing candidates that their time and individuality are respected from the outset.

Effortless application process

Candidates can engage with the HireVue Hiring Assistant to prescreen for a role and complete a “quick apply” to get the process going within minutes. We understand that today’s candidates are on-the-go, which is why HireVue is designed to meet them where they are—on their phones. A simple text message invites them to participate in a text-based interview, making the process as easy and accessible as possible.

Empowering candidates through assessments

After answering a few initial questions, candidates are invited to showcase their skills through an assessment. This isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about giving candidates the chance to demonstrate their competencies in a meaningful way. With just a click, they can complete the assessment and receive immediate feedback on their strengths and areas for improvement, helping them to better prepare for the next steps in their career.

A realistic job preview

One of the standout features of the HireVue platform is the Realistic Job Preview. This tool gives candidates a genuine sense of what the role entails, helping them decide if the opportunity aligns with their career goals. It’s about ensuring that candidates are not only qualified but truly excited about the role they’re applying for.

Convenient on-demand interviews

Following the assessment (or maybe before, depending on the company process), candidates receive a link to complete a HireVue OnDemand interview. And with the option to add intros and outros, TA teams are encouraged to talk to their candidates and remind them that humans are watching them—so just relax and be yourself! 

Whether on a laptop or phone, they can choose the time and place that suits them best, ensuring they’re comfortable and confident during the process. This flexibility is key in reducing the stress and anxiety that can come with traditional interview formats.

Streamlined live interviews and beyond

Once the OnDemand interview is completed, candidates can easily self-schedule a live interview, eliminating the frustrating back-and-forth of coordinating times. This live interview provides another opportunity to delve into the candidate’s skills in a structured environment, ensuring fairness and consistency across the board.

Our automated texting system simplifies the final steps—sending offers, facilitating acceptances, and even delivering personalized onboarding messages. With HireVue, the candidate experience doesn’t end at the offer—it extends into their first days with your organization, fostering early engagement and connection.

Unlocking potential

At HireVue, we believe in making talent connections seamless and meaningful. By streamlining the candidate journey and offering tools that empower both candidates and recruiters, we help unlock the full potential of every individual. With HireVue, hiring isn’t just about filling a role—it’s about building relationships and creating opportunities for success.
