Bottom line
One of the cheapest one-way video interview tools with published prices: a free plan for 1 user and 5 interviews, then $15/mo billed yearly for 5 users and 50 interviews. It covers the basics well (bulk invites, reminders, practice runs, team ratings and client share links) but has no AI scoring or transcripts, and every plan caps the number of interviews. Best for small teams and agencies screening dozens of candidates a month, not thousands.
Stands out for: Pricing is low and fully published, from a free plan to $79/mo billed yearly for unlimited users, where most one-way video tools start at $59 to $250 a month. Recruiters get fine control over each question (required or optional, how many retakes), candidates get a practice run before recording, and recordings can go to a client or hiring manager by secure link with no login.
Watch out for: Plans are capped by interview count (5, 50, 150 or 500), so high volume or seasonal hiring can outgrow even Enterprise. There is no AI scoring, transcription or skills testing, only human review. ATS connection is through the open API rather than named ready made integrations. No refunds once a plan starts, downgrades wait for the term to end, and free plan data older than six months is archived. The site lists custom branding on every plan while its FAQ says the logo is a Team and Enterprise feature, so check before buying Starter.
Overview
ScreeningHive is a one-way (asynchronous) video interview tool. A recruiter sets up an interview once, sends a single link to every candidate, and each candidate records answers whenever and wherever suits them. The team reviews the recordings later instead of booking phone screens.
Interviews are built from text or video questions, with reusable templates and a question library the vendor puts at more than 2,000 questions across 100+ job titles. Each question can be required or optional, and you choose how many attempts a candidate gets or turn retakes off. You can add a short introduction video, and candidates can do a practice run to test their camera and microphone.
Candidates record in the browser on Windows, macOS, Android or iOS with no app to install. Invitations go out in bulk, reminders and follow-ups are automatic, and recruiters get an alert as each interview is submitted. Candidates can also rate the experience with a quick smiley score.
For review, hiring teams rate, comment on and tag each response and compare candidates side by side. Recordings are encrypted and can be shared by secure link with clients or hiring managers who have no account, which suits agencies presenting a shortlist.
Pricing is published. Free covers 1 user and 5 interviews. Starter is $15/mo billed yearly ($19 monthly) for 5 users and 50 interviews, Team $39/mo yearly ($49 monthly) for 10 users and 150 interviews, and Enterprise $79/mo yearly ($99 monthly) for unlimited users and 500 interviews. ATS connection runs through an open API included on all plans.
