What makes Promap better for startups
Promap’s AI doesn’t just record responses. It holds a real-time, dynamic conversation, asks clarifying questions, and adapts to how a candidate answers. It replicates the experience of talking to a thoughtful hiring manager—without needing one in the room.
HireVue’s smallest plan starts at $35,000/year. Promap is usage-based and affordable for startups hiring 1–10 roles a year. You pay only when you interview.
Promap analyzes how candidates think—not just what they say. With real-time contradiction detection and skill-based scoring, you get true insight into candidate quality.
Promap is designed so any founder, operator, or hiring manager can run effective interviews—even if they’ve never hired for that role before.
Why some companies still choose HireVue
HireVue is powerful—if you’re a Fortune 100 with global hiring pipelines. It offers:
- Scalable one-way video interviews for high-volume roles
- Live interview scheduling with embedded rubrics
- Coding and game-based assessments
- AI-powered scoring based on prebuilt traits
But all of that comes at a cost: complexity, price, and a candidate experience that can feel impersonal and robotic.
