“Looking good!” was our immediate thought once we laid eyes on BarRaiser’s dashboard. It’s not just beautiful but also user-friendly. With quick training from the vendor, we found no issues navigating the platform on our first try.

BarRaiser’s AI Interview Copilot is by far our favorite feature. As expected from an AI trained by over 110,000 real interviews, this interview copilot has a knack for providing tailored questions based on job descriptions and candidates' resumes, whether you need them before or during interviews. While other video interview software like Willo and myInterview lean more towards first-round interviews, the way BarRaiser’s AI Copilot is designed makes it work extremely well for in-depth, technical ones where questions delve much deeper into candidates' skills, experiences, and qualifications.

An added bonus is that both you and your candidates can use your existing video conference tools like Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams for BarRaiser interviews. Instead of hosting its own video interview platform, BarRaiser’s AI works in harmony with these apps, assisting interviewers with the candidate profiles, interview flow, alerts for straying from the structure, sample questions, and real-time feedback. The algorithms also auto-calculates the interviewee's score, which can help a lot in shortlisting candidates post-interview.

BarRaiser’s interview coaching is on par with Clovers, with AI taking notes on key insights and observations during interviews that can be shared among interviewers for future improvements.

However, this video interview software can get quite expensive for teams with less than 500 employees. While it offers a free plan with 5 interviews, this may be not enough even if you hire just a position or two per year. BarRaiser’s Team plan caps the number of interviews at 30 per month, with a 60-minute duration limit for each interview. These fixed numbers sure limit flexibility and nudge users to upgrade to its highest-priced plan for more monthly interviews allowed.

We appreciate the responsiveness of its customer service. Whether our editors reach out during U.S. or Asian working hours, there’s always a person picking up our calls. However, considering fellow enterprise-focused solutions like Vidcruiter and Clovers offer dedicated support for all users regardless of their purchased plans, we think it's a fair point for BarRaiser to consider offering a similar level of support.
