Questions about Goodfit and HireVue
- What is the main difference between Goodfit and HireVue?
- HireVue is best known for recorded video interviews, where candidates answer set questions on camera. Goodfit holds a spoken interview by phone call or in the browser. The AI listens and asks follow-up questions based on what the candidate just said. You get a score for each skill, with the quote it is based on and a link to that moment in the recording.
- Do candidates need a camera for a Goodfit interview?
- No. Candidates can take the interview on a normal phone call, with no camera and no app. They can also open a browser link. Browser interviews can use the camera for cheating checks, such as a second person in the room or someone reading answers.
