Infyva vs HireVue: an honest comparison

At a glance

What HireVue offers

HireVue's site describes a set of products for large hiring teams. Its AI Interviewer runs screening interviews around the clock, generates questions from the job description, asks probing follow-up questions and scores answers against either a custom rubric or HireVue's own validated competencies, with behavioral anchors. Video Interviewing covers both one-way, asynchronous interviews and live interviews, including on Zoom, Teams and Webex, with SMS and WhatsApp support. Beyond interviews there are Assessments (job-related skills tests and game-based assessments), an Assessment Builder, a website chat agent called Match and Apply, an interview co-pilot for live interviews, and automation and scheduling.

On compliance, HireVue's AI Interviewer page refers to fairness audits covering NYC Local Law 144, EEOC and OFCCP, an adverse impact check using the four-fifths rule, and alignment with the NIST AI RMF, the EU AI Act and ISO 42001. Its security page lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and 27701 certification, an annual SOC 2 Type 2 audit and FedRAMP authorization.

What Infyva offers

Infyva does one part of that job: the first-round interview. Nova, our AI interviewer, asks each question aloud and the candidate answers in their own words, in the browser, when it suits them. Each answer is recorded, transcribed and scored against the job's competencies with written reasoning. A competency score cannot sit more than 15 points above the answer it cites, and a report with fewer than three answered questions says there is not enough evidence to recommend anything. Integrity notes (tab switches, pasting and an optional face presence check counted in the browser) are tied to the answer they happened on. Hiring managers review through a share link without an account, and candidates move through a six-stage pipeline.

Where HireVue is stronger

• Breadth. Assessments, game-based tests, live video, scheduling and a candidate chat agent in one platform. Infyva has none of the assessment products.
• Follow-up questions. HireVue's AI Interviewer describes probing follow-ups. Infyva's standard interview does not improvise follow-ups.
• Security and compliance paperwork. SOC 2 Type 2, ISO certifications and FedRAMP matter in procurement, and Infyva has none of them yet. HireVue also describes fairness audits; Infyva has not had an independent bias audit.
• Scale and track record. HireVue says it has more than 20 years in the market and describes extensive validation research and peer-reviewed publications. Infyva is a young product.
• Languages. HireVue's AI Interviewer page lists English, Spanish, French and Portuguese, with regional variants. Infyva does not advertise interviews in other languages yet.
• ATS coverage. 45+ ATS integrations against Infyva's Greenhouse (Pro and Enterprise).

Where Infyva may fit better

• Published, per-interview pricing. You can start on 10 free interviews and know the monthly cost before speaking to anyone. Seats are unlimited and unfinished interviews are not charged.
• Evidence you can check. Every score links to the recorded answer and its reasoning, and scores are capped close to that evidence.
• No camera required for scoring. Scores come from what the candidate says. Faces, emotions, accent and tone are not evaluated.
• Small team setup. Paste a job description and send invites, without an implementation project.

Who should choose which

If you are a large employer that needs assessments, live video, scheduling, many ATS integrations and a full set of security attestations, HireVue is built for that and Infyva is not a like-for-like replacement. If you are a smaller or mid-sized team that mainly wants every applicant to get a structured first-round interview, with evidence behind each score and pricing you can see up front, Infyva is worth a trial.
