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

Willo

Stands out: Priced per live role rather than per seat, with a long list of supported trackers.

Watch out: Priced in pounds, and there is a large gap between the entry plan and enterprise.

Not the right fit for

  • Desks that need live panel video
  • Teams running many roles at once on the entry plan

Pros and cons

HireVue

  • Video and assessments in one suite
  • Built for defensible high-volume screening
  • Connects to the major enterprise trackers

  • Too heavy for small-team async video

Willo

  • Priced per live role rather than per seat
  • Works with the major trackers
  • 14-day trial
  • Priced in pounds
  • Big jump to enterprise
  • Not a live-panel tool
