Hinterview helped us to increased LI response rates by 200% and reduced time to hire by 50% **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** David N. | UK MD, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 12, 2025 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Hinterview allows us to reach candidates we wouldn't normally be able to attract. I have used Hinterview for over 12 months now and it has allowed us to engage with our candidate communities in a much quicker and beneficial way The Hinterview team took time to run a series of sessions with us on how to productise the offering which resulted in the creation of a new service line which has allowed us to secure over £500k of new business The note taker and integration with our CRM has been a gamechanger. It has streamlined recruiter workflows, allowed us to critically evaluate meeting performance as well as save hundreds of hours of time inputting information into our CRM. The customer support is fantastic, with rapid response times and frequent updates to optimise our use of the platform **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Stats and reporting in the native platform could be better but updates are on the way **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hinterview via the Hintel tool is reducing recruiter time on admin, allowing us to focus on having meaningful and quality conversations with our clients and candidates. The offering we now present to clients at briefing stage gains 2x more times retained work than we were winning a year ago. ### 2. My experience of using Hinterview has been immense **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Bradley D. | Managing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 03, 2025 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Both Clients and Candidates are loving the use of Hinterview, this is saving clients so much time in the hiring process via prescreening! Candidates are bought into the screening and the recruitment process itself! It's cutting hiring time by 1/3 and we are super happy with the software! **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Nothing to report in terms of negatives! **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Hiring time is quicker - Clients prefer outreach rather than a generic cold call - Candidates are bought into the recruitment process - Pre screening is great as allows the candidate to showcase themselves rather than just a CV ### 3. Game changer! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hayley P. | Billing Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 02, 2021 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** I've been using Hinterview for a few years now, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the platform. They are consistently updating and adding new features, which keeps it fresh and increasingly useful. It has saved a huge amount of time for my hiring managers and has helped me to win exclusive business and negotiate higher fees. I've utilised Hinterview for a wide range of roles, including technical positions and senior hires. The platform adds significant value to both clients and candidates. It's user-friendly, time-efficient, and has improved so many aspects of my role. A special shoutout to Nat as he's always happy to go above and beyond and I can tell he cares; and the entire Hinterview team, who have always been super helpful and supportive. Highly recommend! **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** There is nothing I dislike about Hinterview! **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** It saves a lot of time for our clients, improves interview to placement ratio. It strengthens candidate applications, especially if requirements are more focused on cultural fit rather than skill.. I get more engagement when contacting candidates through video for new roles.. Sometimes requirements are 'Subjective', so this helps me to present a variety of talent without relying on a 2D piece of paper... it brings the CV to life and helps to demonstrate soft skills etc. There are SO many benefits. ### 4. Using Hinterview **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andy T. | Talent Solutions Manager - Senior Finance, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2024 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Nat has been excellent in terms of the quality of support he has offered me throughout the process of making Hinterview a part of my service to clients. Technically, he helped explain the stages of the process in a clear, concise way and having worked in recruitment previously, Nat understands what my key drivers are. His regular check ins have enabled me to develop the confidence to sell the Hinterview as an integral part of the recruitment process offered to clients, secure interviews for candidates who perhaps on paper weren't best suited for a role, and to secure exclusivity. The fact that clients love being able to review candidates skills and culture fit during a shortlisting call, is also a huge benefit! **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** It takes time to set up a HInterview and having to convert documents from word to pdf can be a faff. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Enabling candidates who on paper don't meet the requirements of the JD, to be given an opportunity to interview. Securing exclusivity ### 5. Great idea in theory but bugs which seem to be everyone else's fault but theirs **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 07, 2024 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** It's a good idea, shame about the glitches and blame game **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Originally I was taken by the system and tried to use it on every role but bugs quickly became apparent. I kept being told it was my OS or a candidate's upload speed or network error. As time went by the problems didn't get solved. The friendly service became less and sudenly my account manager went radio silent. I stopped using the system because I was embarrassed by the fact I couldn't rely on it working properly. I was considering my options with the contract when a new account manager appeared out of the blue, asking why I wasn't using Hinterview! Great I thought. She told me the last person had left under a cloud and she was picking up the pieces... So, a meeting was arranged with a tech person, Ben. He quickly admitted the original glitch I had complained about at the start was top of the list to be fixed asap... I was surprised because I had been told it was my operating system and given a round about way of avoiding it, now, many months later, he was admitting it was a glitch at their end and in fact, they'd still not fixed it... He then told me all the other problems were my candidate's network error. I was less inclined to believe him. Especially as Hinterview was the common denominator and because all my candidates with 'network' problems, were able to upload videos and send them to me via wetransfer.com. I will stick to using platfroms that are better established and don't blame everyone else. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's creating problems ### 6. Best way to stand out! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ruth M. | Sales Recruitment Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2024 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Hinterview is a great way to reach out to candidates and clients (for BD) to stand out from other recruiters. It's also far more personal and easier for each candidate to get an idea of the role you are pitching to them. Nat is always around for support should I need anything fixed as well. Integrates seamlessly with our CRM too! **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Potentially some minor tweaks here and there, however these are constantly being updated and evaluated to ensure there are never any major issues. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** From when I started using this platform over a year ago, they have improved any hiccups and made it much easier to use. ### 7. Couldn't live without it! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 25, 2025 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** The ease of use, the quality of the videos, the range of products but most importantly the business that I win from it! **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** That it doesn't automatic log me in when I turn on my laptop!!! **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** The classic "putting a face to name" is instantly covered off by the platform and by using video I can show passion for a candidate to a client or a role to a possible interested candidate. ### 8. Recruitment must have! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2024 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Hinterview has transformed how I advertise roles, shortlist for jobs and saves me time! I'm able to bring roles to life by recording videos talking about said role, which in hand saves me time. I've also found recording short interviews with candidates helpful for shortlisting purposes as it brings their CV to life. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Nothing of note - it's very user friendly! **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's saving me time talking about roles multiple times when a candidate can watch a short video (which I'm sure has saved me hours!). It's also great to use when shortlisting for roles and recording videos with candidates. ### 9. The best recruitment video tech **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** George R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 08, 2024 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** We did a demo of Hinterview and its competitors and ended up signing with a competitor, based purely on cost. Once we began the onboarding process, it was clear that it didn't have the same functionality as Hinterview and we had made a big mistake. We decided to sign up with Hinterview regardless and cannot fault the platform nor the customer service from all involved. Highly recommend. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** On first demo, competitor systems may look shinier but the functionality is not as strong. Hinterview is a more expensive system but justified in its functionality and ongoing support. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using Hinterview for Business Development, Video briefing of roles and Video Shortlisting. Client feedback from the first use of video shortlisting was "Gamechanging." ### 10. Easily the best outreach tool I've used **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Darryl Y. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2024 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** It's really easy to use, and in a cadidate-short market like mine, it's that next level commuination that helps personalise my approach. Huge on my desk when messages are flying around letf, right and centre. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Nothing really. There's still no accounting for people not watching the video or opening the message from time to time, but that's not really down to the product. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps me cut through a lot of the conversation that I usually need to go through just to speak to a prospect. They get all the info, with documents, explanations etc without having to read a whole message. ### 11. Impactful for Specialised Recruiters **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gemma M. | Principal Recruitment Consultant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2024 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Platform allows specialised recruiters stand out in the market by explaining their knowledge of the space rather than spending out an automated and most likely chatGPT response **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Would love to have follow up option/reminder **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Screen and Video Capture is really helping to highlight that this is a targetted reach rather than automated considering market flooded with that. Video email puts a name to the face and more likely to get response Video interviews show candidates we go the extra mile Platform as a service is helping with exclusivity in new business ### 12. Great product & support **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michelle G. | Director & Co-Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 13, 2024 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** We've been using Hinterview for almost 6 years, it is an integral part of our service offering to clients. The team are fantastic, Sophie and Josh deserve a special mention for the regular check-ins and product updates. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** It would be great if it integrated with our CRM, Firefish but understand discussions are underway! **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Making hiring easier and faster for our clients! ### 13. Innovative video engagement product **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul M. | J, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2024 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Easy to use product, always innovating and our response rates are very impressive. Hintro helps us sell candidatews better. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Nothng bad to say about the platform at all **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Makes us stand out from the crowd. ### 14. Sophie provides great support and training **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cameron C. | Operations Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2024 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** The ease in the backend and the tools on offer **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Currently not having an intergration with JobAdder **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** The capability to have interviews contanied within one platform which clients can access with ease. ### 15. Rossa Mullally - Review for Hinterview **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rossa M. | Manager - Sales & Marketing, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2020 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** I use Hinterview for just about everything in the recruitment process: from reaching out to candidates and clients, interviewing candidates, recording video preps for volume roles, personalised thank you notes, to congratulating candidates on getting hired. Hinterview can help everywhere; if you can send an email or leave a voicemail; you can do it better with Hinterview **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** The fact that you can't see Hinterview views in the dashboard like you can with Hintros. As an administrator it would be great to be able to filter hinterviews and hintros by User. **Recommendations to others considering Hinterview:** Make sure you have champions at a senior level within your organisation to ensure that it is utilised by your teams. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Candidate generation Business development Networking tool Remote Interviews RFI / RFP Response Advertising Promotions Language Testing Intra company messages Personalised thank-you notes These are just a few and we are discovering more. The speed and the visibility of the results of your actions is fantastic ### 16. Hinterview, more like Winterview **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lee S. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** We've implemented Hinterview into our business at the start of this year and we're finding it is really adding an extra dimension to our outreach activities, be it business development or candidate acquisition. There will always be a natural nervousness to incorporating video into weekly activities but we had a great Customer Success experience with Phoebe, who helped with various tips and tactics on how to get the most out of the platform. I've also been impressed by the speedy responses should we have any queries. Very happy with our decision to choose Hinterview. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Naturally, any extra steps into your outreach process can add time into an already stretched schedule. Hinterview was no different as it requires quite a bit of time up front to get comfortable in recording videos. However, once you realise that it doesn't matter if it's not perfect, the whole process is actually pretty quick. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were seeing a reduction in our BD responses as the market had moved to more remote working so the old methods (switchboard calling) weren't as effective. Video has helped us cut through the noise now the recruitment market is collectively starting to BD again. It also allows us to reduce time to hire by showing clients who candidates are before the interview them. ### 17. Video for recruiters that just works! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** For me, the outreach part of the platform, 'Hintro' works brilliantly well for me in my markets. Taking my outreach to new levels, ensuring I can stand out in DM's through quick video and it intgrates seamlessly with Linked In which is key for any recruiter. I've gone from having to guess if my messages are being picked up to knowing I sit at approximately 90% watch rate and get told when they've been watched...key for follow up but also immediate feedback on what is working and what needs improving The CS team are great to deal with (shout out to Henna Makwana!) and answer my cries for help quickly every time...thankyou!! **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** I have to admit I was a little video sceptical when Hinterview first reached out having 'been there done that' in years gone by, but have to admit I was wrong! no issues or dislikes. I think every recruiter/business will use the platform slightly differently and take benefit from different elements of the platform that work for them **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Outreach...in times of candidate shortages, a platform that helps me cut through the noise and show credibility in a quick and efficient way is key...which is what Hinterview does brilliantly for me ### 18. Hinterview has been a strategically important part of our business **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Hannah W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Hinterview is a real differentiator for us. We are a small business which can put us at a disadvantage to some of the larger players, but having hinterview as a way to headhunt and interview candidates, it is a really good selling point. We have also had an amazing account manager who keeps us supported when there are issues and keeps us updated with developments. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** There were some syncing issues that made it hard and not that time effective when busy. We also felt it was too expensive compared to some other services available on the market. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is helping us stand out from competitors when it comes to our services, but also how we are reaching out to potential new customers, and also reconnecting with old contacts. ### 19. Best User Friendly Tech Out Here! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Joshua T. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** I enjoy the user-friendly step-by-step process Hinterview provides. As I work with international applicants, the application process is a universal language and very simplistic! The way to track the candidate's progress is painless and trouble-free. It has been a game changer for our clients to respect their time and not have them sit through 5-6 hour-long international interview events. The user-friendly process for managing their applicants is so convincing that this is how interviews should be done! Finn and the rest of the support team make the time to help and troubleshoot issues I experienced and have ensured that my feedback is appreciated. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Not much to dislike about using the Hinterview platform. I would suggest implementing a deadline or a lock for clients to make their decisions rather than having some of their candidates wait more than two weeks. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hinterview is streamlining a better recruitment process for WorldWide HealthStaff Solutions! We did not have the workforce to facilitate interviews for every scheduled hiring event. Hence, Hinterview frees up our focus and management of the interview process in a modern and innovative method! ### 20. Excellent Video Recruitment Software with even better Customer Support **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** The ease-of-use and overall simplicity of the UI makes Hinterview stand apart from the rest. I have on-boarded several members of my team, and I can go from showing them the program to them being an interview pro in a day or two. The ability to get up and running so quickly is largely do to the excellent customer service at Hinterview. Our rep Phoebe Pickersgill has not only guided us through every step of the process but routinely checks back in to make sure we are getting the most out of our partnership. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** If there is one Achilles heel of Hinterview it is their processing time. Sometimes the "hinterview bots" can take quite a long time to render a video, and when the program's goal is to easily and quickly send videos waiting five or so minutes for a video to render can disrupt workflow. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hinterview reduces what we call our "trust gap" with clients and candidates alike. Hinterview lets us show we are real people who are trying to make genuine connections. Hinterview lets us deliver that message and land, whereas with email or Linkedin messaging that personal touch can and often is lost. ### 21. One of the best tools that we use! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Darwin S. | CEO & Founder, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Everything.... first, Phoebe and the support team have been phenomenal including onboarding, training, supporting our questions and they are incredibly timely. It is an incredibly effective tool to differentiate from the competition and we regularly get comments about what a great personal touch it adds. It helps us differentiate from the "white noise" and transactional firms in the industry. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** I don't see any.... I can't tell you something that I dislike. If it could do my job for me! Or maybe give me contact data that would be incredible but that's not what it's for. It is an investment but worth it. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use it to reach out and differentiate, and are looking to use it as part of our submission process to introduce candidates and differentiate the process, as well to make it more personal and help change the candidate and client experience in a positive fashion. ### 22. The partnership is grade "A" **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Angela M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** When we first started with Hinterview, I loved how they were focused on partnership and how we could work together to achieve our company goals. It wasn't just lip service, they have been amazing partners who constantly check on us and make sure we are on track to reach our goals. They give us any support that we need when we need it. The training is fantastic as well. Phoebe Pickersgill does an amazing job with managing our account and being available whenever we need it! **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** I don't really have any dislikes. There are definitely features that we have communicated with Hinterview and our representative that we would like to see in the future, but no real dislikes **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** It differentiates us from other recruiting agencies when reaching out to companies or candidates. Makes a cold call into a warm call by putting a face with a name. ### 23. Love Hinterview! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stacey C. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** It's so user friendly, fun to use and has so many different ways it can used too. The staff are super helpful - our main contact is Phoebe and she is always on hand to answer any questions we may have and help out with any training required. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** When people are watching the videos you have recorded, it takes you onto a separate platform - it would be good if the video could just be viewed directly from the email or LinkedIn post that it was originially sent in. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** It helps set us apart from our competitors and helps our clients speed up the recruitment process ### 24. User Friendly to the Max! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kelsi R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Hinterview has streamlined our processes in ways we couldn't even imagine! From helpful and friendly staff and easy implementation to great notifications and happy customers- we are sold on what Hinterview has to offer! **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** There isn't much to dislike about Hinterview. The only change I would make is to have some sort of deadline in place for employers to choose candidates in a faster more efficient way. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** We used to have to schedule individual interviews with every candidate which is challenging as we work across multiple timelines. Now, each piece of the process can work in their own time zone! ### 25. Daily usage tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Alan M. | Sales Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 14, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** This is something i use on a daily basis, i basically treat it as an alternative to voicemail for candidates and clients as people dont listen to voicemails but might watch a 30 sec video. Hintros are a must in this market for recruiters to stand out and the hinterview function is great to showcase candidates that might get overlooked or really sell a client to a candidate. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Lack of virtual backgrounds limits where you can use it effectively **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** It makes candidate attraction easier as most of my competitors are still using phone and email only ### 26. Hinterview is a vital and versatile tool for the modern day Recruiter **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chris H. | Director of Delivery & Academy Training Lead, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Emma and Freddie from Hinterview have been amazing, and their training sessions are well-delivered and on point. The tool itself I couldn't rate it highly enough. It's entirely versatile for modern-day recruiting; it can be used in a Delivery type role for interviewing candidates on behalf of clients and headhunting, but also for Business Development and Networking. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** No cons for me right now; they are continually improving the tool. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** I like the fact there is no the screen recording fucntion. ### 27. Poor technology and money making focussed business **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ray M. | Director Of Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Service team Sales tools Processing candidates in the portal **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Lose of all of my data Connection problems Contract problems Won't deal with complaints effectively They use Zoom / Teams themselves as technology isn't adequate Expensive for what they offer **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Making candidates visible to cleints via Hinterview product and manage them through the process with visibility for the client and yourself, having visibilty of when your client accessing the video. ### 28. Hinterview is very useful! **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** We found that the Hinterview part of the product was really useful as we sold the product in our RPO pitches to clients to help improve speed to deal as it allowed us to conduct prescreening interview questions to send to clients. The Integration with our CRM Bullhorn was also very useful and the support / account management is very good! **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Often Hintros in emails went into the recipient's junk folder so they were never read and also products like Teams allowed users to do a very similar process. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** At the time we didn't have Team so having the ability to record video content was new to us and exciting - but now we feeling we can do this by record Teams calls etc. ### 29. Great tool with incredible support! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tony R. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 11, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Hinterview affords the opportunity to connect on a different level compared to traditional methods. The feedback has been very positive from clients! Our customer manager, Phoebe, is fantastic with training and answering any questions we have. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** The search function & editing function could improve to be more user friendly. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Allows us to connect with people in a more dynamic and authentic manner ### 30. Hinterview met our business need **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 12, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** A+ customer service. Finn is amazing!!! The hinterview platform allowed us to prescreen, reverse market and place a large pipeline of candidates without recruiter interaction. The personal branding also added a professional touch to all of the videos. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** only integrates with bullhorn. Also, the bullhorn integration doesnt reflect the full capabilities of the platform well. You will need to toggle between both systems or use HInterview as your primary source. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** The system allowed us to mass prescreen candidates before distributing them through over 50 employers. ### 31. An excellent and dependable product that add immense value to our offering **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Brett E. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** The client portal adds the best value for us, it accelerates the hiring process and adds value to our clients. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** lack of integration with our CRM, one common database would make things easier **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** it allows us to get candidates who would not normally be considered in front of the client. ### 32. Beneficial in numerous ways - in both BD and candidate attraction/sourcing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Tom R. | Recruitment Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2022 **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. **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 intitially, however in the long run it streamlines and automates our process so the time is saved elsewhere. **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 Sucess Manager who will be there to answer any questions you may have. **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. ### 33. Game Changer in Recruiting **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kim L. | V, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2022 **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!! **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? **Recommendations to others considering Hinterview:** Do it! try new things....Hinterview is the way the world interacts so why not embrace it. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** No one reads anythign 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. ### 34. Makes working more personable and good fun **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kaitlyn L. | Talent Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** I really enjoy the tracking of who can view your hintros **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Sometimes it can be lagey, can make it confusing to watch **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Creates human connection and puts a face to a name ### 35. Henna Makwana **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jason B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 11, 2023 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** More effective candidate screening & vetting **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Can you cumbersome to use in a cloud/virtual office environment **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Helps the Consultants (espically trainee/junior) to screen canddiates more effectively ### 36. Really enjoying Hinterview so far! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Zach Z. | Managing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2022 **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! The customer support team at Hinterview is awesome and great at sharing new ideas for the platform. I look forward to further integrating HInterveiw into my recruiting process. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** So far I have not found anything that I dislike about the platform which is a great sign! **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hinterveiw is helping solve the problem of candidate attraction. Candidates in today's marketplace are inundated with emails, voicemails, and LinkedIn messages. This is a new way to reach out to them in which we can be a bit more creative and track metrics at the same time. ### 37. My thoughts on Hinterview **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Olivia M. | Associate Recruitment Consultant , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 10, 2022 **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 **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** The number of takes it takes for me to get the video right :) The platform is great **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Attracting wider audience Showcasing something different to what some of my competition are doing The ease of it and time saving abilities It is a big support for my personal brand also ### 38. Highly recommend. Easy to use, excellent support and amazing success. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Chelsea S. | Recruitment Consultant, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 22, 2022 **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. **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. **Recommendations to others considering Hinterview:** Highly recommend using Hinterview. Easy to use, excellent support, amazing success. **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. ### 39.

It is a great platform to use to stand out in our marketplace, and we have received great feedback from clients who have used the platform in their processes! **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Nothing to dislike about this platform, and nothing to improve about the platform. Once you are in a routine and using it regularly everything falls into place! **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** The platform is helping me engage with more passive candidates in the marketplace, thus making our brand stand out in the marketplace. I am finding more engagement with candidates and more clients wanting to use Hinterview in their processes. ### 42. Great product with great customer service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Keeley E. | Managing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 29, 2022 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** There are different features to help with all elements of the recruitment cycle - Hintros are great for approaching candidates and business development. Screen recording is really good for a multitude of things including training videos. The Client Portal is also really useful when there is more than one Manager/Director involved in the recruitment process. I really like that Hinterview is constantly developing features and Emma our Account Manager provides fantastic customer service. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Nothing to dislike but a useful feature would be to be able to stop and start the recording again when using the "Hinterview" feature. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hinterview has enabled us to reduce the time our clients spend on interviewing and is also helping us to approach candidates and clients in a more personal way. ### 43. Easy to Use and Effective **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Calvin D. | R, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 01, 2022 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** The best thing about Hinterview for me is the ease of use and speed at which you can easily create a video and gt it across to your candidate or client. It also enhances the offering to clients. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Not much to dislike, only thing can be that people are hesitant to click on a link when sending. **Recommendations to others considering Hinterview:** I would recommend Hinterview, great product and the support is great too. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Engagement. When prospecting or trying to engage with candidates it can be a great way to engage and stand out. It also adds value with clients and enables a different approach. ### 44. A game changer for recruitment resourcing **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Renee C. | Recruitment Resourcer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2022 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** An absolute game changer for recruitment resourcing. A simple and effective way to stand out to candidate talent in a saturated market. Super simple to use and integrate into everyday workflows. Sales process, customer success and support for the product cannot be faulted. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** The only things missing from the platform in my opinion is the ability to watch your public videos straight from the Linkedin feed without leaving to a separate platform, and the ability to group posted videos into folders for storage in the paltform. Other than that, the user experience is great and they have thought of everything, whilst keeping the platform simple. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** Hinterview is providing a unique way to engage with candidates that helps us stand out from other recruiters in the market. ### 45. Review of Hinterview **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Julie R. | Managing Director, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 13, 2022 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Hintros which I personally use for Sales Campaigns. My team also use the Hintro feature for promoting their brand or a particular job on Linkedin and personalised messages. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** No not that I can think of particularly. **Recommendations to others considering Hinterview:** My worry onboarding this product was adoption by my team as I think that's the potential problem with any product. Finn has been brilliant supporting us with every question we can think of x 10 and being patient, positive and just delightful to chat with. Thank you Finn - the team adopted and promote! **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** It differentiates us and our brand in this highly competitive market. Candidate attraction is tough and this is a unique way of promoting ourselves and why someone should talk to us making it real and personal. ### 46. Wonderful experience **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Olivia W. | Marketing Executive, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2022 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** All the staff we've been in touch with at Hinterview have been faultless - particularly Finn Tribe. Thank you very much for all your support. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Only really that the thumbnail doesn't always appear as we'd like it to, but I think that's more a LinkedIn issue than a Hinterview issue! **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's helping us reach out to, and grab the attention of, so many more candidates. Our clients are also very impressed with the system, and interested to get involved. ### 47. Great feedback from both clients and candidates! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jackie M. | Managing Consultant (Professional Services - Senior Appointments, Operations, Marketing & OS), Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2022 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** Fantastic tool, really user friendly! The feedback from both clients and candidates has been incredible **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Nothing - though the subtitles could perhaps be better at understanding a Scottish accent :) **Recommendations to others considering Hinterview:** Couldn't recommend it enough. Easy to use, the team offer great support and the benefits to clients and candidates speak for themselves **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** It has really helped clients speed up the process of recruiting, and being able to send short candidate interviews with CVs has been a real game changer for clients ### 48.

Great tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Andrew M. | S, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 08, 2022 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** The ability to engage those who are perhaps not active in seeking a new role, its versatile too, form on-site hintos to hinterview to highlight great candidates in a method that is not commonly seen **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** Don't think there are any, it's a useful tool that is easy to use and effective more importantly **Recommendations to others considering Hinterview:** Just use it, takes a little practice and getting used to seeing yourself on video but its a vital and versatile tool to use **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** With the lack of active applications via job boards, it allows me to engage clients and candidates alike in a different more personal way ### 50. Very professional and comes with a lot of useful features. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dan C. | Temporaries Divisional Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Hinterview?** The Screen share option is my favourate. It is such a useful feature and adds a level of interaction if you're unable to get the candidate on a Hinterview. **What do you dislike about Hinterview?** There are sometimes some glitches when using the Hinterview section. Either the candidate can't log in, or doesn't load. I don't dislike it just the only thing I could think of. **What problems is Hinterview solving and how is that benefiting you?** So far I haven't flagged any problems, but as a business I know Hinterview has solved some of the job portal queries we have when it first came into play. ## Hinterview Discussions - [Please will you release more reporting/analytics on the backend soonish?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/33414-please-will-you-release-more-reporting-analytics-on-the-backend-soonish) - 1 comment, 1 upvote - [What is Hinterview used for?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-is-hinterview-used-for) - 1 comment - [View Hinterview pricing details and edition comparison](https://www.g2.com/products/hinterview/reviews?qs=pros-and-cons§ion=pricing&secure%5Bexpires_at%5D=2026-05-23+00%3A39%3A38+-0500&secure%5Bsession_id%5D=e4151183-ca2d-4dde-9616-8930aea039b7&secure%5Btoken%5D=ad61c0262dcf491242a741d8186b2fb43dc014d4d58869c8bedf253083f5896c&format=llm_user) ## Hinterview Integrations - [Bullhorn](https://www.g2.com/products/bullhorn/reviews) - [Google Meet](https://www.g2.com/products/google-meet/reviews) - [Google Workspace](https://www.g2.com/products/google-workspace/reviews) ## Hinterview Features **Platform Basics** - Screen Capture - Video Capture - Image Editor **Platform Basics** - Reporting - Interoperability - Performance - User, Role, and Access Management **Video Creation** - Screen Recording - Video Upload - Unlimited Video Storage - Live Video Streaming - Video Player Customization **API Features** - Live Chat - Screen Sharing - Subtitles and Closed Captions - Custom Video Player - Live Simulcasting **Platform Features** - Video Capture - Image Editor - Screen Capture - Scrolling Capture - Screen Record - Text Extraction **Generative AI** - AI Text Generation - AI Text Summarization **Action Item Detection - AI Note-taking Software** - Action Item extraction - Summary Generation **Platform Content** - Scrolling Capture - Text Extraction - Screen Record **Platform Content** - Technology - File Sharing - Customization **Software Delivery** - Mobile Application - Browser Extension - API / Integrations **Security and Compliance** - Encryption - Watermarking - HIPAA Compliance - GDPR Compliance **Organization** - Search - Permissions - Organization **Automatic Transcription - AI Note-taking Software** - Speech-to-text Transcription **Platform Additional Functionality** - File Sharing - Platform Search **Platform Additional Functionality** - Mobility - Messaging - Task Management - Dashboards **Analytics** - Recipient Tracking - Campaign Performance Tracking - Thread Length Tracking **Customization** - Customizable Thumbnails - Annotations - Frames & Background **Collaboration & Sharing - AI Note-taking Software** - Team-based Access **Analytics** - Viewer Reactions - Engagement Insights - Viewer Insights **Generative AI** - AI Text-to-Image - AI Text-to-3D - AI Text Summarization - AI Text-to-Music **Agentic AI - Screen and Video Capture** - Autonomous Task Execution **Language & Accent Support - AI Note-taking Software** - Multi-Language and Accent Support **Agentic AI - Video Email** - Autonomous Task Execution **Multi-Platform Integration - AI Note-taking Software** - Integrations **Privacy & Security Controls - AI Note-taking Software** - Access Control **Searchable Note Archives - AI Note-taking Software** - Semantic Search **Speaker Identification - AI Note-taking Software** - Speaker Recognition ## Top Hinterview Alternatives - [Odro](https://www.g2.com/products/odro/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (102 reviews) - [Spark Hire](https://www.g2.com/products/spark-hire/reviews) - 4.7/5.0 (684 reviews) - [Hireflix One-Way Video Interviewing](https://www.g2.com/products/hireflix-one-way-video-interviewing/reviews) - 5.0/5.0 (428 reviews)
