"Beneficial in numerous ways - in both BD and candidate attraction/sourcing"

5/5

What do you like best about Hinterview?

Hinterview has massively streamlined our recruitment process, and is also a very effective business development tool. As an individual, I have won significantly more new business through the use of Hinterview. This is either through sending video introductions to prospects, or by selling the benefits on BD calls/video meetings/face-to-face meetings. To summarise, my favourite part of Hinterview is the value it adds for my clients, and therefore the assistance it brings me within business development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hinterview?

It does add a few steps into our recruitment process from my side of things, which therefore means I have to do a bit more work initially, however in the long run it streamlines and automates our process so the time is saved elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hinterview:

Reach out to them, so that they can give you a full demonstration of the product and how you can use it. When onboarding, you'll have a dedicated Customer Success Manager who will be there to answer any questions you may have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem Hinterview is solving is obtaining commitment from candidates at an early stage. Using Hinterview, we are getting our candidates to take time to interview with ourselves early in the process, which is getting buy-in from them and ultimately reducing the early "drop-out" that many other recruiters are struggling with at the moment.

"Game Changer in Recruiting"

5/5

What do you like best about Hinterview?

Hinterview has been a game changer. We have the ability to standout from our competitors and engage our audience in a unique way that is easy to learn and manage. In addition, the support and ongoing training is superb. Ask for Emma!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hinterview?

I honestly cannot think of anything. Maybe that in some emails we cannot embed a thumbnail, just a link? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hinterview:

Do it! try new things....Hinterview is the way the world interacts so why not embrace it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?

No one reads anything anymore. We needed a way to address the candidate pool with short high-quality videos. Also, candidates may not be a 10 out of 10 for a job but if we could get them in front of the client, we are confident they would see what we see in the candidate so having the candidate create a video answering a few questions or overcoming objections, has been great.

What do you like best about Hinterview?

I am new to Hinterveiw, but I am already enjoying that Hinterview helps us stand out from other recruiters and helps us better engage candidates and clients. It is easy to use, intuitive, and fun!

"My thoughts on Hinterview"

5/5

What do you like best about Hinterview?

I have found the full Hinterview platform so helpful to attract both candidates and clients in my market. It is a really easy tool to use, super effective and a creative way to reach out versus using the phone. Finn is a great support to not only myself but my colleagues in the wider business. Always checking in, supporting us and keeping us updated with the latest trends of the platform. Feels really personal as well which is always a bonus Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hinterview?

The number of takes it takes for me to get the video right :) The platform is great Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Highly recommend. Easy to use, excellent support and amazing success."

5/5

What do you like best about Hinterview?

Being able to take a different approach to speak with people and the success it gives you in return. Also how quick and easy it is to use, I have used something similar in the past that was nowhere near as good as Hinterview. Both clients and candidates also enjoy this service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Hinterview?

Nothing so far, I am still new to using Hinterview however I have implemented this into my everyday routine with ease. I haven't found any fault or anything there is to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Hinterview:

Highly recommend using Hinterview. Easy to use, excellent support, amazing success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?

Again Emma has been great, organising 121's to get me up and running so quickly and talking me through each step, I know she is at the other end of an email or phone call if I have any problems, she also gets back to me very quickly. Emma also organised a questions and answers session after I was up and running to see if I had any problems. Hinterview also has a button on their page to speak with someone is any problems arise which is a great feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
