Purehire vs myInterview

Overview

MyInterview is built for simplicity, focusing on one-way video interviews where candidates can quickly record answers or upload intro videos. It boasts its ease of use, fast setup, and a candidate-friendly interface, making it popular with SMBs in industries like retail and hospitality. Its AI assistant, Taira, supports basic scheduling and chat-based screening, but the platform remains largely limited to early-stage evaluations and requires other systems for the rest of the hiring process.

Purehire includes these same strengths, unlimited branded video interviews, AI scheduling, and candidate-friendly portals, but extends them into a complete, end-to-end hiring suite. Beyond video screening, it manages sourcing, resume evaluation, live and voice interviews, offers, and onboarding in one unified workflow, delivering a seamless experience for both recruiters and candidates.
