How to choose video interviewing software

6 criteria · Requirements by company size · 6 red flags

Decide first whether you need live interviews, one-way interviews or both, then evaluate how reviewers score responses. The core question is whether the tool makes evaluation more consistent without adding legal exposure.

Complete an interview as a candidate on a phone with a mediocre connection. That test reveals more than the feature list.

  1. Live, one-way and hybrid formats

    Different stages need different formats, and separate tools split the record.

  2. Structured scoring and rubrics

    Consistent criteria reduce reviewer noise and make decisions easier to defend.

  3. AI analysis: what is analyzed and how it is audited

    Illinois requires notice, explanation and consent before AI evaluates applicant video, and NYC requires bias audits for covered automated tools.

  4. Accessibility and accommodations

    The EEOC and DOJ warn that tools can screen out people with disabilities and advise a reasonable accommodation process.

  5. Candidate experience on mobile and low bandwidth

    Failed uploads and unclear instructions lose candidates.

  6. Consent, retention and deletion controls

    Recordings are sensitive records and candidates may request deletion.

Requirements by company size

  • Small businesses

    • Simple one-way and live interview links
    • Easy scoring templates
    • Clear per-user or per-interview pricing

    Watch out for

    • Hiring managers recording without consent screens
    • Limited export of recordings

  • Mid-sized companies

    • Structured rubrics and shared review
    • ATS integration
    • Configurable consent and retention

    Watch out for

    • AI features enabled without an audit trail

    • Weak accessibility accommodations

  • Enterprises

    • Multi-jurisdiction consent and notice controls
    • Single sign-on, role-based access and audit logs
    • Bias audit documentation for any automated scoring

    Watch out for

    • Procurement and security review timeline
    • Regional data hosting questions
    • Different business units adopting different tools

Red flags

  • AI scoring cannot be disabled
  • No documentation of bias testing or audits for automated scoring
  • Recordings cannot be deleted on request

Frequently asked questions

What is video interview software?

Video interview software lets employers interview candidates remotely, either live or through one-way interviews where candidates record answers. Teams review recordings and score them against rubrics, usually inside an applicant tracking system. Products differ mainly in format support, scoring tools, accessibility features and whether they offer AI analysis, so check each against your hiring process.

What is the difference between one-way and live video interviews?

In a one-way interview the candidate records answers to preset questions on their own time. A live interview happens in real time with an interviewer. One-way suits early screening at volume; live suits later, more conversational stages. Many platforms support both formats, but confirm that both land in the same candidate record before you buy.

Is AI analysis of video interviews legal?

It depends on where you hire. Illinois requires notice, an explanation and consent before AI analyzes applicant video, and NYC requires bias audits and notices for covered automated tools. Consult counsel for your states, and ask vendors for audit documentation.

Can video interviews discriminate against candidates with disabilities?

Yes, if tools screen out qualified people or offer no accommodation path. The EEOC and DOJ advise employers to have a process for reasonable accommodations and to consider how tools affect different disabilities, including tools from vendors. Ask any vendor to show how a candidate requests captions, extra time or another format, and who receives that request.

Is video interview software worth it?

It is worth it when screening volume is high or interviewers are spread across locations. Measure completion rate, reviewer time per candidate and scoring consistency in a pilot. If recruiters still rewatch every recording, the tool is not saving time.

How we research

Ranked by the LeadChange Score, computed only from verified facts: capability coverage (30%), pricing and value (20%), integrations and API (15%), security (15%), fit and support (10%) and data confidence (10%), times a category fit. Products with too few verified facts are not scored yet and come last. Payment never changes a score or a position.
