interviewstream

Interviewstream is recruiting software for screening candidates, coordinating interviews, and supporting hiring decisions. It suits organizations that want recorded and live video interviews alongside scheduling and structured assessments. Its custom pricing makes it harder to weigh against products with published plans.

Overview

Interviewstream combines candidate interviews with the coordination and assessment work around them. Candidates can record responses on their own time, while hiring teams can review them later; live video interviews support real-time conversations with remote candidates. That range can help organizations manage different stages of hiring in one process.

Its interview formats are broader than video alone: asynchronous responses can be video, audio, text, or multiple choice. Interview Builder adds role-specific guides and evaluation forms, which can make assessments more consistent across interviewers. Interview Insights tracks completion, scheduling, team and requisition performance, and candidate drop-off, with comparisons against industry benchmarks.

AI Interview Summary condenses recorded answers by question and response, with an optional AI Confidence Score. These tools may help teams review interviews and spot process patterns, but they do not replace the need for human judgment in hiring decisions.

Key features

• On-demand interviews: Candidates respond when it suits them, and teams review recordings later. Video, audio, text, and multiple-choice formats give organizations flexibility in how they screen.
• Live interviews: Real-time video supports remote candidate meetings when an asynchronous exchange is not enough.
• Interview scheduling: Calendar synchronization and candidate self-booking can reduce back-and-forth over available slots.
• Structured assessments: Role-specific interview guides and evaluation forms help interviewers assess candidates more consistently.
• Reporting and AI summaries: Insights cover completion rates, drop-off, scheduling, team and requisition performance, and industry benchmarks. AI summaries organize recorded responses by question, with an optional confidence score.
• Integrations and security: Interviewstream says it connects with more than 15 applicant tracking systems and ERPs, and its Open API can link requisitions, templates, and candidate data with hiring tools. Its security statement describes encryption at rest and in transit using 256-bit key length, separated customer environments, and two-factor authentication for privileged administrative access. The company states its platform is GDPR compliant and SOC 2 Type 2 compliant.
• Support: Toll-free support is available 24/7.

Pricing

Interviewstream is paid software with custom pricing. Contact the company for a quote; without a published plan structure, organizations cannot readily compare costs by team size or interview volume before that conversation.

Platforms

Interviewstream is listed for Android, iOS, macOS, and web, and offers an API. Its SaaS platform is described as accessible from any browser or device, but candidate guidance prefers a computer or laptop and recommends the mobile app rather than a mobile browser for interviews on a phone or tablet. That distinction matters for organizations whose candidates rely on mobile devices.

Who it's for

Interviewstream serves organizations ranging from small businesses to K-12 schools, colleges and universities, healthcare systems, corporations, and government agencies. It is most compelling for teams that need both scheduling and varied interview formats, plus structured evaluation and process reporting. Organizations seeking a straightforward published price or candidates expected to interview primarily through a mobile browser may find the fit less convenient.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Recorded interviews support video, audio, text, and multiple choice, giving teams options for different screening needs.
• Pro: Calendar syncing, candidate booking, structured guides, and evaluation forms cover coordination as well as assessment.
• Pro: Reporting spans completion, drop-off, scheduling, team and requisition performance, and benchmark comparisons.
• Con: Custom pricing requires a quote, so buyers cannot compare a published entry price or plan limits in advance.
• Con: Candidate guidance favors a computer or laptop and recommends an app rather than a mobile browser for phone and tablet interviews.

Alternatives

Browse the Video Interviewing Software category to compare more options. Consider Jobma if its Starter plan's one user, five active positions, unlimited one-way interviews, and one ATS integration fit your needs; its Professional plan supports ten users. Hyring is worth considering if a free plan with 50 monthly credits, one seat, one active job post, English-only support, and one AI voice is a useful starting point; its Pro plan costs $79 a month for 50 credits and five seats.

Aural may suit teams that want fully open-source software they can self-host under the MIT license, as well as a free plan. Talview offers tailored, unit-based pricing for individual features or bundles, with a typical minimum commitment of approximately 150 to 200 candidates, making it a potential fit for buyers planning around candidate volume.

EasyHire.me offers a free plan and a paid entry plan at $49 a month, billed per job monthly, with ten monthly interviews, three team members, and one month of interview storage. HireVue, VidCruiter, and Criteria are other paid alternatives.

Verdict

Choose Interviewstream if your organization wants recorded and live interviewing in a broader workflow that includes candidate scheduling, structured assessments, and hiring reports. Its mix of formats and process tools is the central reason to consider it; custom pricing and the guidance favoring computers or mobile apps over mobile browsers are reasons to look elsewhere if transparent costs or browser-first mobile access matter most.
