- How we researched this
- Most platforms now do one-way (asynchronous) interviews; fewer combine them with live interviews, scoring and proctoring in one place.
- Ask every vendor what the AI scores. Score what candidates say against a rubric, not faces or accents. HireVue dropped facial analysis in 2021.
- Integrity checks matter more each year: Gartner predicts one in four candidate profiles worldwide will be fake by 2028.
- For hiring in India, check mobile recording, WhatsApp reminders, Indian languages and DPDP Act support before features lists.
What is an AI video interview platform?
It is software that runs the first interview round on video without a live interviewer. You set the questions and time limits, candidates record their answers on a phone or laptop when it suits them, and AI transcribes, scores or summarises each answer. Recruiters and hiring managers then review a ranked list instead of sitting through every first-round call. Some platforms also host live interviews, coding tests or proctoring. For the step-by-step mechanics, see how AI video interviews work; for when to use recorded versus live rounds, see live vs asynchronous video interviews.

1. Hirin.ai
Hirin.ai sends one link, candidates record answers on their phone or laptop, and WhatsApp reminders go out until they finish. Every answer is transcribed and scored against your rubric, with the quotes that earned each score; accent, looks and background are not scored. Integrity flags (answers that match AI-generated text, long looks away, tab switching) are timestamped for a person to review, and nobody is rejected automatically. The same profile holds the CV score, AI voice screening answers in English, Hindi and 22+ Indian languages, and skill tests. See Hirin's AI video interview software.
2. HireVue
HireVue runs 24/7 AI screening interviews built on structured, job-related questions, and an interview co-pilot that takes notes and summaries in live interviews on your own Zoom or Teams. It also offers skills and game-based assessments and an assessment builder. HireVue removed facial analysis from its assessments in 2021, saying language analysis had become more predictive.
3. Spark Hire
Spark Hire combines an applicant tracking system with one-way video interviews, behavioural assessments and AI that helps score candidates and automate repetitive steps. Interviewer calendars sync so candidates can book the next round themselves.
4. VidCruiter
VidCruiter covers pre-recorded and live video interviews with built-in rating guides, recording and panel support, and works with Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet. It adds scheduling, skills testing, automated reference checks and video proctoring, which suits processes that must be documented.

Jobma offers one-way interviews, live and panel interviews, and an AI interviewer that asks role-specific questions in the first round. Its AI assistant drafts questions and summarises answers, and it lists interview fraud prevention.
6. Talview
Talview pairs an AI interviewer (Ivy) with live interview rooms, continuous face authentication and synthetic-media detection, plus a proctoring agent, assessments and coding tests. It says human reviewers make the final decision on flagged candidates.
7. Harver
Harver is mainly a predictive assessment and volume-hiring platform with a video interview product. It positions itself for BPOs, contact centres and retailers, where assessments matter as much as the interview.

What should you check before you buy?
- What exactly is scored. Ask for a sample scorecard. Good platforms score what the candidate says against your rubric and show the evidence. Avoid tools that score facial expressions, accent or appearance.
- Who decides. AI should rank and flag; a person should make every rejection. Check that flags sit beside the score, not inside it.
- How cheating is caught. Gartner found 6% of 3,000 candidates admitted to interview fraud such as posing as someone else. Ask how the tool spots read-out AI answers, second screens and impersonation.
- Candidate access. Test the link on a basic Android phone on mobile data, in the languages your candidates speak, and check reminders on WhatsApp, not just email.
- Your systems. Confirm the ATS, calendar and interview scheduler integrations you need, so shortlisted candidates book the next round without email back and forth.
- Data and consent. Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, candidates should know what is recorded and why, and recordings should be kept only as long as needed.

What does research say about AI video interviews?
- Structure is what predicts performance. A 2022 re-analysis by Sackett, Zhang, Berry and Lievens found structured interviews had the highest average operational validity of the selection methods it reviewed (.42), ahead of cognitive ability tests (.31). A one-way interview is structured by design: same questions, same time, same rubric.
- Use is growing but still a minority. In TestGorilla's 2025 survey of 1,084 people involved in hiring in the US and UK, 20% of employers said they use AI to interview candidates.
- Candidates are wary. Gartner found only 26% of job applicants trust AI to evaluate them fairly, and Pew Research found 71% of US adults oppose AI making the final hiring decision. Tell candidates how the interview is used and keep people in charge of decisions.
When doesn't an AI video interview help?
Skip it for senior or niche roles with a handful of applicants, where a live conversation sells the role as much as it assesses the person. Don't use it before candidates know anything about the job: a short voice or WhatsApp screen on notice period, pay and location usually comes first, and the video round follows for those who qualify. And don't treat a score as a verdict; review flagged and borderline candidates yourself.
