    Why candidates switch from HireVue

    1

    Opposite sides of the table

    HireVue is what the employer uses to interview and score you. LastRound AI is what you use to get ready for it. You do not replace one with the other; you bring LastRound AI to a HireVue round.

    2

    Predict the questions before you record

    HireVue rounds are often async and unforgiving. LastRound AI reads the job description and predicts likely questions so you walk in rehearsed instead of guessing.

    3

    STAR coaching for recorded answers

    Async video punishes rambling. LastRound AI structures your responses into tight STAR format and flags filler words and delivery issues HireVue would silently mark down.

    4

    A price a job-seeker can actually pay

    HireVue is sold to enterprises on custom contracts. LastRound AI is $19/month for the candidate, with 15 free credits monthly to start practicing today.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is LastRound AI a HireVue competitor?
    No. HireVue is an enterprise platform employers use to run video interviews and assessments. LastRound AI is the candidate-side tool that prepares you to pass a HireVue round. They sit on opposite sides of the hiring process.
    How much does HireVue cost a candidate?
    Nothing. HireVue is paid for by the employer. Its pricing is not public and is custom enterprise-only; third-party procurement estimates suggest roughly $35,000+ per year for the company, but candidates never pay HireVue.
    Can LastRound AI help with a HireVue one-way video interview?
    Yes. LastRound AI's mock mode lets you rehearse recorded answers, while its delivery feedback flags filler words and pacing so your async HireVue responses come across as structured and confident.
    Does HireVue tell me which questions I'll get?
    No, HireVue does not share its question set with candidates. LastRound AI instead predicts likely questions from the job description so you can prepare targeted answers in advance.
    Will using LastRound AI get flagged in a HireVue interview?
    LastRound AI's native desktop overlay is built to stay invisible in screen-share on Zoom, Meet, Teams, and Webex. For one-way HireVue recordings, the strongest use is preparation and mock practice beforehand rather than reading during the recording.
    What are HireVue's interview guides?
    HireVue ships 1,000+ interview guides built by IO-psychologists for employers to standardize hiring. As a candidate you never see them, so LastRound AI gives you 7,000+ practice questions and 177 explainers to prepare on your side.
    Is there a free way to start preparing for HireVue?
    Yes. HireVue has no candidate-facing free tier, but LastRound AI gives you 15 free credits every month that never expire, so you can start mock HireVue practice at no cost.
