Handshake Reviews, Ratings & Features 2026 | Gartner Peer Insights

Video interviewing software helps organizations to evaluate the candidates through video calls and messages. This evaluation can be done either through pre-recorded (one-way) or live (real-time) web interviews. Most video interviewing software facilitates the integration with ATS (applicant tracking systems) and recruitment management systems.
In pre-recorded online interviews, candidates have the flexibility to record their responses to the questions already prerecorded by recruiters at their convenience. However, in live video interviews, the recruiters meet with candidates online face-to-face by setting up a meeting time. Unlike generic video calling tools, video interviewing software is equipped with multiple recruitment-specific features and can be used in conjunction with many ATS, HR, and recruiting software.
Some advanced software has built-in AI that can analyze candidates' facial expressions, nonverbal behavior, voice intonation, etc. to help decide on a candidate's fitment for the organization.
