§ 02When HireVue is the right call
We're not always the right choice. Here's when not to pick us.
- 01You need established psychometric assessments with 20+ years of validation data — HireVue's clinical psychology partnerships are deeper than ours.
- 02You're a Fortune 500 with existing HireVue contracts — switching costs may exceed savings short-term.
- 03Your hiring is EU-only with strict GDPR procurement — HireVue's Frankfurt cluster is better-tested than ours.
- 04You need SOC 2 Type II right now — ours is in audit, theirs is current.
If any of those apply, you're probably better off staying with HireVue. We'd rather tell you that up front than waste your evaluation cycle.
