VidCruiter alternative: structured screening with a price on the page
VidCruiter is built for hiring that has to stand up to scrutiny: the same questions, the same rubric, an audit trail. That is why public-sector teams like it. To find out what it costs, though, you need a sales conversation, and third-party estimates put even small deployments at several thousand dollars a year.
Then there is the work after setup. Pre-recorded video means someone on your team still watches every answer and scores it by hand.
The short version
- Price: VidCruiter is custom-quoted by module, users and volume. Greet is $99/month for 100 sessions, listed on the site.
- Evaluation: VidCruiter collects recordings for your panel to score. Greet scores every session against the criteria you set, and keeps the recording so you can check.
- Setup: VidCruiter is modular and needs configuring. Greet builds a session from a one-line description of the role.
What VidCruiter is
VidCruiter, based in Moncton, New Brunswick, sells modular structured-interview software: pre-recorded and live video interviews, scheduling, reference checks and scoring. Its customers are mostly enterprise, government and high-volume employers that need structured, defensible interviews.
It does that well. The focus on consistency suits public-sector hiring, the module set is broad, and workflows can follow complex approval chains.
Where it falls short
From its own pricing page and public write-ups:
- No published pricing. You need a sales conversation to get a number.
- More configuration before go-live. The modular setup means choosing and setting up pieces before the first candidate sees anything.
- Your team still evaluates. Pre-recorded video leaves the watching and scoring with your reviewers.
What Greet does instead
Structure without the manual scoring
Every candidate gets the same instructions, the same questions and the same scenarios, scored against the same assessment blocks you define (knowledge, communication, problem-solving, English level). Each session comes back with a match rate, a written summary, the transcript and the recording on Pro and above. Your panel reviews the scores and the evidence instead of building them from scratch.
The evidence is there when someone asks
If a hiring decision gets questioned, you can show what was asked, what the candidate said and how it was scored, and play the exact moment. Export results as CSV or PDF for the file.
Candidates are tested on the work
A recorded answer to “describe a time you handled conflict” is a story. Greet puts the candidate in the situation. For a benefits office role, the AI plays a resident who was denied a claim. For a dispatcher, it plays a caller who cannot give a clear address. The AI follows up when an answer is thin, the same way a good interviewer would.
Live the same afternoon
Describe the role, and AI drafts the instructions, questions and settings. Press Play to take it yourself, then share one link or import a CSV and send unique links. ATS integration through the API is optional.
