# Aperture vs HireVue

HireVue defined one-way video interviewing a decade ago and still owns enterprise procurement. Aperture is the modern alternative: adaptive conversations instead of scripted video prompts, λ-core scoring that admits uncertainty instead of false precision, and plan pricing without per-interview fees. HireVue wins on incumbency. Aperture wins on signal and setup time.

## Pick HireVue If

- You need a legacy enterprise suite with deep procurement relationships.
- Your team is already trained on scripted async video recordings.

## Pick Aperture If

- You want adaptive interviews that probe, not scripted prompts candidates memorize.
- You want scoring that tells you when two candidates are statistically tied.
- You're tired of one-way video and candidates dropping off in the funnel.
- You want to launch in days, not run a six-month enterprise rollout.

## Common Questions

### Is Aperture a HireVue Alternative?  
Yes. HireVue is the incumbent. Aperture is the modern replacement: adaptive interviews instead of scripted video, λ-core scoring instead of a black-box number, and a built-in ATS.

### Why Move Off One-Way Video?  
Scripted video prompts get gamed, have high candidate drop-off, and produce shallow signal. Adaptive conversations probe based on what candidates actually say.
