What Hirevire is
Hirevire handles the first pass without calendars. Candidates submit video answers, audio responses or documents on their own time, and hiring teams review them when convenient, which suits small teams that cannot schedule dozens of introductory calls.
What you can do with it
- Request video or audio answers to set questions
- Collect supporting documents during screening
- Review responses asynchronously
- Shortlist before live interviews
- Keep early-stage screening consistent
Who it is for
- Startups and small HR teams
- Recruiters handling many applications
- Teams with limited interview capacity
What to watch out for
- One-way video should never be analysed by software that infers personality or emotion without notice, and some jurisdictions restrict such analysis
- Candidates need to know how recordings are stored, who sees them and when they are deleted
- Video formats disadvantage people with speech differences, caring responsibilities or poor connectivity, so offer alternatives
- A real conversation is still needed before any decision
