Mobile and low bandwidth
Works on phones and weak connections.

How to choose video interviewing software
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.
Live, one-way and hybrid formats
Different stages need different formats, and separate tools split the record.
Structured scoring and rubrics
Consistent criteria reduce reviewer noise and make decisions easier to defend.
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.
Accessibility and accommodations
The EEOC and DOJ warn that tools can screen out people with disabilities and advise a reasonable accommodation process.
Candidate experience on mobile and low bandwidth
Failed uploads and unclear instructions lose candidates.
Consent, retention and deletion controls
Recordings are sensitive records and candidates may request deletion.

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.
Facts, not impressions
Every input is a fact verified against vendors’ official documentation, with the date we last checked it.
Missing data is never assumed
Unverified items are left out of the score and lower its coverage; below 60% coverage a product is not scored yet.
Independent of revenue
Rankings never depend on whether a vendor pays us.
