Wepow

What Wepow does

Wepow was founded in 2011 in Cupertino, California as a video interviewing and candidate engagement platform aimed at reducing the time and cost of screening talent at scale. Over time the company's product surface expanded significantly beyond video interviewing into an end-to-end volume-hiring platform, and the entity is now commercially presented under the Harver brand (Harver B.V., domiciled in the Netherlands), with Wepow's video interviewing capability surviving as a module within that suite.

The current platform centers on a core predictive assessment product (Harver Assessments) that combines scientifically validated psychometric, cognitive, situational judgement, and game-based assessments (the latter via an integrated pymetrics module), supplemented by automated reference checking (Checkster), virtual interview scheduling, and a proprietary AI matching layer branded 'AI PREVAIL.' A six-step workflow — screen, assess, automate, analyze, schedule, hire — is marketed to high-volume hiring organizations, with the platform claiming a 25% reduction in 90-day attrition, a 40% decrease in time to hire, and a 42% increase in applications across named customers including Wayfair, Albert Heijn, Booking.com, Heineken, Teleperformance, Alorica, Peloton, Sage, and Brinker International. The product is sold primarily to BPO/contact centers and retailers as the two anchor verticals, with secondary coverage of financial services, hospitality, manufacturing, healthcare, government/education/non-profit, and tech/media/telecom.

Commercially, Wepow/Harver operates a direct enterprise field-sales model with quote-based annual subscription pricing, no public self-service tier, and a 'Request a Demo' conversion CTA. The company is private and venture-backed (early investors included DCM Ventures, 500 Global, Kapor Capital, Quotidian Ventures, and Recruit Strategic Partners across disclosed rounds in 2011–2014), with a 2023 acquisition of Outmark consolidating video interviewing and reference checking into the platform. Co-founder and CEO Imo Udom leads the company, which has a modest 11–50 person headcount and serves a global book of enterprise customers.

Broad incumbents

• Cornerstone OnDemand: Cornerstone OnDemand is an established talent management and learning platform that has expanded into talent acquisition and skills intelligence. It competes broadly with Wepow for enterprise HR technology budget, particularly in regulated industries.
• Workday Recruiting: Workday bundles recruiting into its dominant enterprise HCM suite, giving it direct access to the largest global employers. It competes with Wepow as a broad incumbent that customers may select instead of, or alongside, a best-of-breed assessment vendor.
• SmartRecruiters: SmartRecruiters offers an enterprise-grade Talent Acquisition Suite including ATS, CRM, and assessment workflow. It overlaps with Wepow in volume hiring automation and is a frequent competitor for global enterprise hiring deals.
• iCIMS: iCIMS is a large, established enterprise talent acquisition platform that combines ATS, candidate relationship management, and assessment integrations. It overlaps with Wepow's automation and assessment modules, and competes for the same large enterprise RFPs in retail, hospitality, and BPO.
• Greenhouse Software: Greenhouse is a leading enterprise ATS with an open integration marketplace for assessments and video interviewing. It competes with Wepow for the recruiting technology budget at mid-market and enterprise customers and is frequently shortlisted alongside Wepow in evaluation cycles.
• Lever: Lever combines ATS and CRM with growing automation and analytics capabilities, targeting mid-market and enterprise customers. It competes with Wepow on the workflow, analytics, and integration layer of modern hiring.

Direct peers

• HireVue: HireVue is the closest direct peer — it sells a video interviewing and AI-driven assessment suite to enterprise volume hirers, including many of the same BPO and retail customer profiles (contact centers, hourly hiring). Both compete head-to-head on AI scoring, structured interviews, and automation at scale.
• Eightfold AI: Eightfold AI sells an AI-native talent intelligence platform that uses deep learning to match, assess, and develop candidates — directly competing with Wepow's AI PREVAIL and predictive assessment approach. Both target large enterprises seeking skills-based, bias-aware hiring at scale.
• Phenom People: Phenom sells a talent experience platform with AI-driven candidate matching, automation, and analytics for high-volume enterprise hiring. Its automation, fit scoring, and analytics capabilities map closely to Wepow's predictive assessment and automation modules.

Emerging players

• Paradox (Olivia): Paradox's conversational AI assistant 'Olivia' automates candidate screening, scheduling, and FAQs for high-volume hourly and frontline hiring. It is a partial but growing competitor in the same volume-hiring automation niche Wepow serves.
