How eight popular options compare for agency recruiting, and what to look for before you choose.

We make InterviewMyCandidate, so we have a point of view. To keep this guide useful, every tool is judged by the same agency focused criteria, and descriptions of other products are based on public sources listed at the end. Features and pricing change, so confirm details with each vendor.
What staffing agencies should look for
- Built for the agency workflow. Corporate hiring tools stop at the interview. Agencies also need to present the candidate to a client, so look for a client ready submission, not just a recording.
- Live and one way in one place. Self-guided interviews screen volume, and live interviews handle final rounds. Using one platform for both keeps every recording in the same place.
- Identity and fraud safeguards. Look for photo ID comparison, questions hidden until recording starts, and recorded answers. No tool can stop all fraud, but these raise the bar.
- Right to Represent built in. A time stamped Right to Represent helps protect your placement in a double submission dispute.
- Easy client review. Clients should open a candidate from a link on any device, with no account or download.
- Your brand, not the vendor’s. Branded submissions keep the client relationship with your agency.
- Clear pricing. Published pricing makes it easy to budget per recruiter, especially for small and midsize agencies.

How to choose
- You submit candidates to clients every week. Choose software built for agencies, with branded submissions and Right to Represent.
- You hire in house and only need screening. A general one way interview tool may be enough.
- You run a very large enterprise program. Enterprise platforms with assessments and custom contracts may fit better.
- You only do a handful of live interviews. A video meeting tool can work, but plan for the manual steps around it.
Questions buyers ask
What is the best video interview software for staffing agencies?
It depends on your workflow. If you need interviews to turn into branded client submissions with Right to Represent and identity checks, choose a tool built for agencies, such as InterviewMyCandidate. If you only need simple one way screening, a general one way tool may be enough.
Is one way or live video interviewing better for staffing?
Most agencies use both. One way, or self-guided, interviews screen many candidates quickly, and live interviews work best for final screens and senior roles.
Can I just use Zoom for candidate interviews?
You can for live conversations, but Zoom does not have one way interviews, identity checks, Right to Represent or client submissions built in, so recruiters end up stitching several tools together.
