Does uxerhub record video?

No. There is no camera, no microphone and no proctoring. The assessment is written, taken whenever suits the candidate, and the candidate keeps their own report afterwards.

Can uxerhub replace async video interviews?

It replaces the part where you decide who is worth a conversation, for product roles. It does not replace seeing and hearing someone, and if spoken communication is a real requirement of the job you should still assess it — just later, in the interview the report tells you what to ask in.

Which one should come first in the process?

If volume is your problem, video first to cut the pool, then uxerhub on whoever survives. If the pool is already small and the ranking is the hard part, uxerhub first — it takes fifteen minutes of the candidate's time and produces something you can line up side by side.

How much does uxerhub cost compared to Willo?

Willo publishes a pay-as-you-go tier alongside enterprise contracts. uxerhub publishes its full pricing: the first candidate is free, then credit packs at $89 for 5 candidates, $290 for 20 and $690 for 60. Credits never expire and candidates never pay.

The uxerhub alternative to Willo, for product roles

By Sergio Gualda · 5 min read · Updated 7 September 2026

Willo is asynchronous video interviewing: candidates answer set questions on their own time by video, written answer, file upload or multiple choice, and its site cites 5,000+ hiring teams, 1,500+ assessments and 18+ languages, aimed at high-volume and early-careers hiring. uxerhub is not a video product and does not record anything. It gives a candidate twelve written situations for one of six product roles and returns a scored report weighted by the capabilities you named. Willo removes the scheduling problem from screening; uxerhub removes the comparison problem from deciding. Those are different jobs, and a team that has one solved often still has the other.

What Willo does better

It solves scheduling, which at volume is the actual bottleneck. If four hundred people applied and you need to cut to forty this week, async video does something no scored instrument does: it lets a human see and hear the candidate without anyone booking a call. Its site cites a 50% reduction in recruiter admin time and reviewing 5x more candidates a week, and that shape of gain is real.

It captures things text cannot. Communication, presence and how someone explains themselves out loud are genuinely part of many roles, and a written instrument is blind to all of it.

It is built for scale in a way we are not: 5,000+ hiring teams, 18+ languages, pay-as-you-go through to enterprise, and a candidate NPS it publishes at 68.

Side by side

Everything in the Willo column comes from their own public site. Where they do not publish something, this says so rather than guessing.

	Willo	uxerhub
Scope	Any role, any volume — 1,500+ assessments across roles, industries and seniority	Six product roles — product designer, product manager, UX researcher, design engineer, front-end engineer and UX writer. Nothing else, deliberately.
What the candidate does	Records video answers, or submits written answers, files and multiple choice, on their own schedule	Answers twelve written situations in about fifteen minutes. No camera, no microphone, nothing recorded.
What you get back	Recordings, transcripts, summaries and match percentages against role criteria	A scored report: a recommendation, the capabilities you named with how they scored on each, and three questions worth asking in the interview.
Who does the judging	You do, by watching — with AI-generated summaries and benchmarks to help	Deterministic arithmetic against the role you described. The report exists the second the candidate submits.
Bias surface	Video shows the candidate's face, home, accent and age before anyone reads an answer	Text only. Nothing about how a candidate looks or sounds reaches the score.
Pricing shape	Willo Lite pay-as-you-go with no contract, or Willo Enterprise on annual contract	First candidate free, then credit packs that never expire. No subscription, no seat count.

Which one you should pick

Choose Willo if

You are screening hundreds of applicants and scheduling is the bottleneck.
The role genuinely needs spoken communication assessed early.
You hire across many functions, languages or geographies.
You want to see and hear candidates before deciding who to interview.

Choose uxerhub if

Your open roles are product roles and the shortlist is small but genuinely hard to rank.
You want the comparison to be identical across candidates and independent of how they present.
You would rather not ask candidates to perform on camera to be considered.
You want to try it on one real candidate without a subscription or a call.

Different problems, and it is worth being clear which you have

Async video and a scored situational instrument get compared because both arrive early in a process and both save calendar time. They do not do the same thing.

Willo's gain is throughput: you see more people, sooner, without booking anything. What you get back is still a recording that a human has to watch and judge, and that judgement is as inconsistent as any interview — the fourth candidate watched on a Friday afternoon does not get the same reading as the first.

uxerhub's gain is comparability: every candidate answers the same twelve situations and the arithmetic is identical, so the shortlist can actually be ranked. What you do not get is any sense of the person, which is a real loss and one an interview is supposed to fill.

If you are cutting four hundred to forty, that is Willo's problem, not ours. If you are choosing between the last six and cannot articulate why one is better, that is ours.

The bias point, stated carefully

A video answer carries the candidate's face, accent, age and whatever room they recorded in, all of it reaching the reviewer before a single word is judged. That is not an accusation against Willo — it is a property of video, and every async video vendor is working on structure and scoring to contain it.

A written instrument avoids that surface by having none of it. That is not a claim to be unbiased: our situations were written by people and carry whatever assumptions they carry, and until the instrument is calibrated we cannot tell you how much. It is a narrower claim — that nothing about how a candidate looks or sounds enters the score, because none of it is ever collected.
