InterWiz vs Video Interview Platforms: How AI-Led Interviews Redefine Hiring

When hiring went remote, platforms like HireVue and Spark Hire solved the biggest logistical problems: scheduling chaos, timezone barriers, and endless coordination. They made interviews faster, more accessible, and for a while, that was enough.

But today, the challenge is no longer just running interviews; it is evaluating them. Recruiters still spend hours replaying recordings, comparing notes, and relying on subjective impressions that differ drastically from one reviewer to the next.

Even with AI add-ons, many evaluation tools remain black boxes, giving scores without clear reasoning or transparency.

According to SHRM’s 2025 Talent Trends report, 43 percent of organizations now use AI tools for HR tasks, up from 26 percent in 2024. This growth confirms that efficiency is no longer the bottleneck; clarity and consistency are.

That is where AI-led interviewing redefines the process. Instead of only recording answers, it runs structured, adaptive interviews that turn every response into measurable evidence of skill and fit.

InterWiz was built around that idea. It helps recruiters move beyond playback and notes to real-time, data-driven insights that make every decision faster, fairer, and more explainable.

In this blog, we’ll compare InterWiz with leading video interview platforms, exploring what they do well, where they fall short, and why AI interviewing is shaping the future of hiring.

What Video Interview Tools Get Right (and Where They Fall Short)

Video interview tools transformed recruiting. They made scheduling simple, opened access to remote talent, and allowed hiring managers to review candidates on their own time. For many teams, they turned interviews from a calendar headache into a streamlined, digital process.

Most platforms offer similar basics: one-way or live interviews, scheduling automation, centralized video storage, and shared feedback spaces. Recruiters can screen dozens of candidates in a day and easily collaborate with hiring managers.

Each major platform pushed this innovation in its own way:

• HireVue added enterprise-scale analytics and AI summaries.

• VidCruiterbuilt configurable workflows for structured, compliant hiring.

• Spark Hire made video screening fast and affordable for smaller teams.

• MyInterview focused on candidate branding and personal engagement.

These advances solved the coordination problem in hiring, but not the evaluation problem.

Where Traditional Tools Fall Short

• Manual review fatigue: Recruiters still spend hours watching recordings and comparing subjective notes.

• No follow-up questions: Traditional tools record fixed responses, limiting how deeply recruiters can explore a candidate’s reasoning or problem-solving ability.

• Limited scoring transparency: AI add-ons often flag keywords or generate summaries without showing how the results were derived.

• Inconsistent evaluation: Different reviewers interpret responses differently, leading to uneven candidate experiences and decisions.

• No skill validation: Video tools capture communication but rarely measure actual ability or problem-solving skill.

• Data stuck in silos: Most platforms provide recordings, not structured data that can feed into hiring analytics or quality-of-hire metrics.

Video interview software made hiring easier to manage, but not easier to decide. They delivered efficiency, not clarity. And that’s where AI-led interviewing begins to change the equation.

How InterWiz Moves Beyond Traditional Video Interview platforms

Traditional video interview software records answers. InterWiz conducts interviews. It operates on an AI-driven, structured conversational framework that measures how candidates think and solve problems, turning every response into measurable, verifiable evidence.

The result is consistent AI scoring, clear reasoning, and faster hiring decisions based purely on evidence, not subjective impressions.
