HireVue screens at one step. Gigin runs the workflow before you need that step.
HireVue is the leading AI video interview platform — used by a third of the Fortune 100 for structured screening at one stage of hiring. Gigin replaces everything before the video interview: sourcing, initial outreach, voice-based qualification, and shortlisting. By the time a candidate reaches a HireVue video screen, Gia has already filtered the pile.
What Gia handles
- Sources from 75M+ candidate profiles
- Calls every applicant within 3 minutes
- Delivers a ranked shortlist — no manual screening
- Live in one day

Can you use Gigin and HireVue together?
Yes — they are complementary, not competing, for enterprises that need both. Gia handles the sourcing, first-touch, and initial qualification. Candidates who pass Gia's assessment are then sent to HireVue for the structured video screen before advancing to live interviews. The HireVue step is a deeper assessment at a later stage — Gia is the filter that gets you to a smaller, higher-quality candidate set before you apply the HireVue overhead.
FAQs
Gigin vs HireVue questions
HireVue is designed for enterprise-scale structured video screening at one hiring stage. It requires candidates to be pre-selected before the video is sent, assumes a sourcing and initial screening process is already running, and is priced for enterprise procurement budgets. Gigin handles everything before that stage — the sourcing, the first call, the initial qualification — and includes a native ATS. For mid-market teams, Gigin covers the full pre-hire workflow that HireVue does not address.
The assessment format should match the objective. Video interviews add the dimension of visual presence — useful for roles where appearance or presentation matters. Voice assessment calls capture what the candidate says, how they say it, and whether they have the skills and availability for the role — without requiring the candidate to find a quiet space with a camera. Voice calls also have significantly higher completion rates than video interviews, which many candidates decline or abandon.
Gigin can feed HireVue as part of a multi-stage workflow — candidates shortlisted by Gia can be sent a HireVue video interview invite as the next step. The integration path depends on your ATS setup. Discuss your specific workflow with the Gigin team.
