Head to head

HireID vs SimpleHire

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

HireID

Sales-quoted

HireID is an interview-integrity layer that watches Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams for deepfake, proxy, and ID fraud. The vendor claims 20-plus fraud signals and 98 percent accuracy on internal synthetic-identity tests, with no public rate card.

Where HireID fits

  • TA teams seeing proxy interviews and deepfakes on Zoom, Meet, or Teams
  • Employers that need ID-to-face matching before an offer, not after a background check
  • Staffing desks that must explain every fraud signal to a client or counsel
  • Mid-market and enterprise hiring teams already on Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, Gem, or SmartRecruiters

SimpleHire

Sales-quoted

SimpleHire is not an ATS. Staffing teams buy recruiter credits for a verified candidate profile covering identity, skills, work auth, and a shareable screening report. Level 1, 2, and 3 plans are quoted. New workspaces start with free screening credits and no card.

Where SimpleHire fits

  • Staffing recruiters who submit verified profiles to clients instead of raw resumes
  • Desks filling junior, technical, or high-value roles that need skill evidence
  • Teams that want ID face-match and work-auth checks without running a separate CRA
  • Agencies that will share a certificate or QR-style report rather than rebuild screens

Where they pull apart

HireID

Stands out: An Interview Agent can join the live conference and surface facial, voice, lip-sync, and AI-assist signals without auto-rejecting the candidate, so a human still makes the call.

Watch out: There is no published price or self-serve plan. It is a trust layer on top of your ATS and video tool, not a full interviewing product.

Not the right fit for

  • Teams that only need a cheap AI screener without identity or deepfake checks
  • Buyers who require a public rate card and a credit-card signup

SimpleHire

Stands out: A role-based voice interview with adaptive follow-ups plus proctored skill checks (browser, desktop, second-device) produces a client-ready report and submission-readiness score.

Watch out: Bullhorn ATS sync is listed as coming soon, so today you submit the report outside the ATS. Work authorization covers 14 visa status types as an optional check, not a full FCRA background product.

Not the right fit for

  • In-house TA teams shopping for an ATS with pipelines and job posts
  • Buyers who need a live ATS writeback on day one (Bullhorn is still coming soon)

Pros and cons

HireID

  • Live monitoring inside Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams
  • ATS connectors for Ashby, Greenhouse, Lever, Gem, and SmartRecruiters
  • Signals are presented for human review instead of automatic rejection
  • The vendor does not publish a price
  • It does not replace HireVue-class structured interviewing or an ATS
  • Accuracy claims come from the vendor's own synthetic-identity benchmarks

SimpleHire

  • Verified identity, skills, and optional work-auth in one screening report
  • Proctoring covers full-screen, tab changes, focus loss, and copy-paste
  • New workspaces start with free screening credits and no card
  • Level 1, 2, and 3 prices are quoted, not published
  • Not an ATS. No job pipeline or client CRM
  • Bullhorn integration is coming soon, not live
