Why people look past Harver

Pricing is sales-quoted and built around volume and modules, so expect a demo and scoping before any number.

What we noted

  • No self-serve plan
  • Too heavy for low-volume hiring
  • Modules can add up in the quote

Not the right fit for

  • Small teams that want self-serve checkout
  • Companies hiring a few roles a year

Worth keeping in mind: Combines assessments, pymetrics game-based tests, video interviews and Checkster reference checks under one vendor.

What each one does differently

HireVue

Enterprise

Why it comes up: Enterprise video interviews and assessments for a competing bid.

Stands out: Video interviews and validated assessments in one enterprise suite.

Watch out: No published price, and it is far heavier than a small team needs for async video.

Best for

  • Enterprise talent teams standardising video interviews
  • Teams that need assessments before an onsite
  • High-volume employers that cannot run live first rounds

4.5 on Capterra from 50 reviews

Spark Hire

$249/mo API

Why it comes up: Simpler video interviewing if you do not need predictive tests.

Stands out: Unlimited video interviews at a public $249/month annual start, then a full ATS if you want sourcing and workflows in the same vendor.

Watch out: The ATS (Recruit Pro) starts at $335/month billed annually, not $249. AI resume review and notetaker hours are metered by ATS plan. No free trial is advertised.

Best for

  • TA teams replacing live first rounds with one-way video
  • SMBs that want video without an enterprise HireVue contract
  • Companies that may grow into Spark Hire's ATS

Criteria

Sales-quoted 14 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Pre-employment testing specialist with aptitude and personality tests.

Stands out: Cognitive, personality, emotional intelligence, risk, and skills tests on one platform, with video interviews in the same suite.

Watch out: All three packages are sales-quoted. AI proctoring, the AI interview agent, and AI scoring are paid upgrades, and Develop is a separate add-on.

Best for

  • HR teams adding validated pre-hire tests
  • Companies that want cognitive plus personality tests
  • Teams that want tests and video interviews together

SHL

Sales-quoted API

Why it comes up: Enterprise assessment library if you want a second scientific vendor.

Stands out: One of the broadest assessment portfolios in the market, with more than 80 ATS integrations.

Watch out: There is no self-serve plan. Buying runs through sales, and rollout is usually a scoped program rather than a quick setup.

Best for

  • Global TA teams running assessment programs
  • I/O psychology-led hiring processes
  • Enterprises that buy through a formal RFP
