### 1/5 — Dehumanizing

*2026-08-09, version 5.0.17*

We seek permanent dismantling of this system, or an actual choice in interview processes, such as making available an interview process where there is a back and forth. The current experience is not an interview and purposefully stretches the practical meaning of what an interview entails. This platform is designed to strip every ounce of humanity out of the hiring process. By utilizing one-way video recordings, the power dynamic becomes completely asymmetrical. Candidates cannot ask questions, read the room, or engage in natural dialogue. Because human beings are biologically wired for reciprocal communication, talking into a dead lens causes severe anxiety, setting applicants up to fail and ensuring the employer never actually sees their true potential. For some (not all) neurodivergent individuals like myself, being put forth questions and a time limit without a back-and-forth causes sudden performance anxiety, a need to follow an internal script, a need to be perfect over the need to communicate. In fact, neurotypical individuals would find this very off putting too, thus putting them at a disadvantage, as the neurotypical brain is hardwired for communication to have a receiver who then communicates back, not to communicate as a performance. This causes ALSO social media personalities to have an unfair advantage in the interview process, those who don’t stutter, those who aren’t suddenly anxious when made to perform as opposed to converse, all without a proper clue into actual work performance. In a retail environment like Target, workers aren’t behind a screen answering guests questions and performing in a video to be submitted for post reaction, they are physically present and on hand for a back and forth. You have essentially taken away the smallest indicator of skill and replaced it with checking boxes. Whether a tired recruiter or predictive algorithm, the power dynamic of this grading fails the community people who not only need, but the thrive in this environment, simply because they failed to improv a performance.

### 1/5 — Non supported os on the newest ios?

*2026-06-27, version 5.0.17*

Your current iOS version is unsupported. Please use a different device or download the Hirevue App from the Apple App store to continue.

Nothing works, dowloaded the app but the first step in the app is to change to browser.

### 1/5 — Got charged 4$ and couldn’t do my interview without getting charged

*2026-05-26, version 5.0.17*

I got an interview link from a job and told me to download the app but force me to put my card number and charged me 4$ even though it doesn’t say I have to pay that. Seem like a scam

### 1/5 — 使い勝手悪い

*2026-02-19*

ゴミ

### 1/5 — TERRRIIIBBBBLLLLEEE!!!!

*2026-01-16, version 5.0.17*

I downloaded this App 3 weeks before my interview. I tested it several times before the interview. I had it opened 40 minutes prior. Time came and went. 1 hour in total time. Got nothing. My phone automatically opened to the app!!! 4 hours later, fully functional and working. I’m freaking LIVID this stupid app didn’t work!!!

### 1/5 — Awful and Impersonal

*2025-12-04, version 5.0.17*

I’m impressed, they’ve actually found a way to make interviewing for a job worse. Step 1 - Download and install an app app with a 15 page TOS.  Step 2 - Watch an out of sync instructional video. Step 3 - Race a countdown clock to improvise a Tiktok video on a subject of your potential employers choosing. Step 4 - Repeat step 3 until irritated. Why WOULDN’T you pick your employees this way?

### 1/5 — Log in

*2025-11-05, version 5.0.17*

App and company awful can’t contact anyone real for help app won’t let me log in using interview code

### 1/5 — Don’t work for companies that require you to use this

*2025-04-21, version 5.0.17*

For those who don’t know, this company is an AI screening and recruiting system. A human does see your recorded interview first, but instead, AI gauges and screens your personality with facial recognition, looks for keywords said, and god knows who is the one to actual view this videos, where it’s saved and how your data, voice and face is used.

### 1/5 — ショックすぎる

*2025-03-01*

なかなか接続されず面接受けられなかった、、、

### 1/5 — 苦手

*2024-11-09*

録画されるの嫌だし、背景ぼかせない。
人によっては家で面接は無理かも。
あと初めてこれで面接した時 知らないツールだったから少し混乱した、ズームのほうがいい。
