Key takeaway: HireVue is a video interviewing and assessment platform, not an ATS. Pricing starts around $25,000/year for mid-market teams and scales to $300,000+/year for large enterprise with AI assessments and coding evaluations. It sits on top of your existing ATS (Workday, iCIMS, Greenhouse) and focuses on candidate screening and evaluation.

How HireVue pricing works
HireVue prices based on the number of interviews or assessments conducted annually and the modules selected. Buyer-reported per-interview costs range from $5 to $30 depending on interview type and volume commitment.
When scoping a quote, model your real interview volume first:
- Interview volume: a team running 2,000 on-demand screens a year at $10-15 per interview justifies the platform; a team running 200 does not.
- Modules: video interviewing alone is the cheapest configuration; game-based assessments, coding evaluations, and AI scoring each add meaningful cost.
- Deployment scope: multi-language, multi-region enterprise rollouts push contracts toward the top of the ranges above.
HireVue also sits alongside your ATS spend, not instead of it, so budget it on top of platforms like Workday Recruiting or iCIMS. For a broader look at how video interviewing fits alongside sourcing, ATS, and other categories, see our recruiting tools guide.

What are HireVue's limitations?
Not an ATS: HireVue does not manage your hiring pipeline. You need a separate ATS.
AI controversy: HireVue's AI analysis of video interviews has faced criticism about bias and fairness. The company discontinued facial expression analysis in 2021 but still uses AI for other evaluation signals.
High cost for smaller teams: At $25K+/year minimum, HireVue is only cost-effective for organizations conducting hundreds of interviews annually.
Candidate experience concerns: Some candidates find on-demand video interviews impersonal. Response rates for video interview requests average 50–70%.
How does HireVue compare to alternatives?

HireVue is the premium choice for enterprise teams that need comprehensive assessment capabilities. For basic video interviewing, much cheaper options exist.
How does HireVue relate to Noon AI?
HireVue and Noon AI address different stages of the hiring funnel. Noon AI finds and engages candidates (top of funnel), sourcing across the open web and running multi-channel outreach. HireVue evaluates them through structured video interviews and assessments (middle of funnel). Noon also offers a voice-based AI Interviewer and AI scheduling, so for teams that mainly need screening conversations rather than a full assessment suite, one platform can cover sourcing through first-round screens. If you're evaluating whether to layer on a specialized video assessment platform or consolidate screening within your sourcing tool, book a demo to compare the voice interview and scheduling capabilities. See our AI recruiting tools comparison for the broader category map.
