HireVue assesses candidates. Navii understands them.
HireVue and Navii both use AI in hiring, but they represent opposite philosophies. HireVue automates structured assessments — scoring candidates through scripted video questions. Navii has genuine voice conversations and surfaces descriptive insights about alignment.
Navii's approach
Navii has real, adaptive voice conversations with candidates — they feel like talking to a thoughtful colleague, not answering scripted prompts. Navii provides descriptive insights about alignment, not numeric scores. Candidates stay because the conversation itself is valuable (87% completion, 34-min average).
HireVue's approach
HireVue provides structured video interviews where candidates record responses to predetermined questions. AI analyzes responses and assigns scores. The format is standardized for consistency and compliance.
