VidCruiter vs WebEx

Get a video interviewing solution that offers more than video conferencing.

VidCruiter and Webex both offer video conferencing to make remote interviewing more accessible, but there are a lot of differences between these two options. VidCruiter is designed for recruiting, and Webex is used for video collaboration. However, only VidCruiter offers seamless ATS integration, 24/7 tech support, and other premium features. No more making applicants and interviewers download an app or log in — VidCruiter’s platform of solutions streamlines the hiring process for everyone involved.

Optimize your recruiting process with this convenient solution that is highly customizable to fit your workflow and reflect your brand’s look and feel. Thanks to automation and expertise, VidCruiter can cut your organization’s time-to-hire by up to 80%.

Hiring is a very specific task that demands a lot of functionality. Read through for a detailed comparison of VidCruiter and WebEx’s features and benefits to help you decide which solution is best for your needs.

“With a very unique candidate lifecycle to manage, the customization aspect of VidCruiter was huge for us. The level of detail the team went into to first learn the specificities of our current state for recruiting and then the team’s use of that knowledge to co-develop the best possible future state; I really can’t dream of a better possible outcome.”

“Collecting applicant data is the best part, once the job is setup in the system having them complete the online form makes it easy to see if they are suitable and where there could be potential issues that need to be covered. The helpdesk team are fantastic, so clear and quick to get back to me and I’m in Australia.”
