CandidReel vs Criteria

CandidReel provides asynchronous video interviews: candidates record on their own schedule, and recruiting teams review them later. Candidates can use a desktop or mobile browser without installing an app or making an account. Recruiters can allow unlimited retakes or set a maximum per question. The product transcribes interviews, summarizes answers, and scores them against recruiter-defined criteria. Transcription supports over 30 languages, while summaries and scores are generated in English. Job-specific visual pipelines let teams configure stages and move candidates by drag and drop. Hiring managers can use shareable links to view videos, transcripts, summaries, and ratings without an account; links expire after a configurable period, seven days by default, and can be revoked. Listed ATS integrations with Greenhouse, Lever, Bullhorn, and JobAdder sync interview results and candidate stages in both directions, and are available on Pro and above. The Free plan lists five interviews per month and three pre-screen questions. Pro is $79 a month; the listed paid-from price is $29/mo.

Criteria Real-Time Video Interviewing is a web platform for live candidate interviews, combining two-way video, guided questions, scoring, recording and AI-assisted post-call review. Evaluators can use predefined questions, real-time prompts and role-specific rubrics, then rate answers, add comments and supplementary ratings, and record an overall recommendation. After a call, the service can provide a transcript, summary, categorized key moments and plain-English interview questions and answers linked to recording timestamps. Batch transcripts with speaker labels are available in English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese and Chinese. Candidates and evaluators join in a browser without downloads or account creation; multiple evaluators use separate passwordless links and scoring forms. Candidates must explicitly consent to recording and AI processing, and those AI features remain off without consent. Criteria says it supports standard ATS integrations plus API and custom connections to ATS or HRIS systems. Pricing is on request.
