    Why teams switch from HireVue

    1

    Built for the candidate side

    HireVue is sold to employers. Craqly is the candidate-side prep tool — practice the actual question patterns HireVue's AI scores you on.

    2

    JD-aware question prediction

    Paste the JD, we surface 6-10 questions HireVue's AI is most likely to ask based on the role — practice those before recording.

    3

    Live-call coverage too

    After HireVue's async round, the next interviews are usually live screen-shares with humans. Craqly covers those with real-time prompts.

    4

    Useful after you land the job

    Same workspace covers your meetings, customer calls, and standups. HireVue is a one-time pre-employment hurdle.

    Which one fits your team?

    Honest recommendation by use case — Craqly doesn't pretend to be the best at every angle.

    Questions teams ask before switching

    Is Craqly the right HireVue alternative for my team?
    If you only ever interview, HireVue works fine. If your day also includes meeting notes, sales calls, or stand-ups that need AI help, Craqly is the better swap because it handles all of those in one workspace — a candidate-and-employee work AI that lives beyond the async screen.
    What does Craqly do that HireVue doesn't?
    Three things. First, Craqly works across every type of work call — interviews, meetings, customer calls, hiring panels — using one credit pool. Second, our action-item extraction turns every conversation into a structured follow-up list automatically. Third, Craqly's invisible desktop mode plays nicely with Zoom, Meet, Teams, and Webex on both Mac and Windows.
    How does the pricing compare to HireVue?
    Craqly Starter is $38 / month flat — no per-seat pricing, no enterprise gates. HireVue's pricing varies by tier and locked features. Both have free trials, but Craqly's gives you the full feature set instead of a feature-limited demo.
    Can I migrate from HireVue to Craqly?
    Yes — there's nothing to migrate technically because both tools work in real-time on live calls. Cancel HireVue at the next billing cycle, sign up for Craqly, and your next interview or meeting uses the new copilot. No notes export, no data transfer.
    Is Craqly invisible during screen share?
    Yes for the desktop app — our overlay sits at the OS level and isn't captured by Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Webex, or system-level screen recorders. The web version is visible in screen share by design (some users want their team to see the AI), so pick the install that fits your scenario.
    Does Craqly handle technical interviews and coding?
    Yes. Coding mode supports common interview languages with awareness of LeetCode-style patterns. System design rounds get diagram-driven prompts. Behavioral rounds use a STAR-method scaffold tied to the resume you upload at signup.
    Will I get billed if I cancel mid-month?
    No proration but no surprise renewals either — cancel anytime and you keep access through the end of the current cycle. Annual plans are refundable within the first 7 days. HireVue's policy varies; check the terms before you commit.
