Head to head

HireVue vs Recright

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

HireVue

Enterprise

Enterprise structured video interviews with assessments wired into the hiring stages. Quote-based.

Where HireVue fits

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

Recright

Sales-quoted Free trial

Nordics-born video screening and interview platform, now pitched as an Intelligent Selection suite. Public plans are quoted, not self-serve.

Where Recright fits

  • Nordic and EU hiring teams that want structured video screens instead of inbox chaos
  • Public-sector and enterprise desks that need consistent, evidence-based interviews
  • Teams that want a light ATS plus one-way and live video in one login
  • Buyers comparing a regional video specialist against Hireflix or HireVue

Where they pull apart

HireVue

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.

Not the right fit for

  • Small businesses that want a cheap async video tool
  • Desks that only need interview notes

Recright

Stands out: Recright is used across 180 countries with a light ATS, structured video interviews, and an Intelligent Selection layer for evidence-based decisions.

Watch out: There is no USD rate card on the vendor site. You book a meeting. Review-site euro figures are not the vendor page.

Not the right fit for

  • US SMBs that need a printed dollar checkout before talking to sales
  • High-volume US staffing firms that want unlimited one-way at $75/mo

Pros and cons

HireVue

  • Video and assessments in one suite
  • Built for defensible high-volume screening
  • Connects to the major enterprise trackers
  • No published price
  • No API or MCP
  • Too heavy for small-team async video

Recright

  • Video plus a light ATS so you are not running interviews out of email
  • Mobile candidate experience with no app install
  • Intelligent Selection framing for structured, evidence-based hiring
  • No public rate card on the vendor site
  • No USD list price. US buyers go through a quote
  • Entry volume caps (when quoted) have historically limited candidates per position
