Key insights from the Hirevue Innovation Roadshow

Inside Hirevue’s Innovation Roadshow: Shaping the future of skills-based hiring

Hirevue recently hosted its Innovation Roadshow—a webinar designed to explore the shifting landscape of global hiring, fueled by technological advancements and the growing importance of skills-based recruitment. With dynamic discussions led by a panel of Hirevue experts, participants gained actionable insights into emerging trends in hiring, ethical AI practices, and strategies to stay ahead in an evolving market.

Here’s an in-depth look at the highlights from each session and the key takeaways to help you make the most of Hirevue’s latest innovations and insights.

The changing landscape of work

Marcy Daniel, Chief Product Officer at Hirevue, spotlighted the shifting demands of the global workforce.

“Almost 40% of skills will change over the next five years. So what we’re doing for hiring today may not be exactly the skills that we need to hire for in the future.”  

This shift is amplified by skill shortages, cited by 65% of employers as a major roadblock. Daniel discussed the transformative role AI plays in adapting to these changes. From automating routine tasks to enhancing productivity, AI adoption among HR teams (already at 72%) is set to drive groundbreaking efficiencies. 

Notably, she  offered a glimpse into Hirevue’s vision for validated skills and ethical AI: 

“What we’re doing is really pushing forward with our vision around validated skills. And at the core of that is our science.”

Challenges in AI-based hiring

Kathleen Preddy, Senior Data Scientist and Innovation Lead at Hirevue, zeroed in on the challenges arising from AI-driven hiring processes:  

“We’ve got the sort of AI talking to AI. Job descriptions created by AI are feeding into resumes crafted by AI. So sometimes it’s really difficult to discern what are the candidate’s real abilities.”  

She warned of AI-generated resumes blending with automated job descriptions, resulting in recruiters facing overwhelming, and sometimes unreliable, data. Her discussion extended to the proliferation of vast skill taxonomies, which complicate talent alignment and evaluation.

Preddy proposed a reimagining of the traditional linear recruitment model, shifting to a more flexible “infinity loop” focused on continuous candidate engagement and skill profile development.  

Leveraging ethical AI

Jeffrey Stanford, Group Product Manager at Hirevue, discussed the importance of our commitment to ethical AI in hiring, particularly through their latest offering called Interview Insights. This feature is designed to improve hiring accuracy by enabling evaluators to focus on job-related competencies, revisit interviews for deeper context, and gain insights into interviewer performance. 

“Helping your evaluators and hiring manager focus on the right job-related criteria and speeding up evaluations is key–all while reducing bias as much as possible.”  

He emphasized our robust testing protocols for AI reliability and fairness, including thorough monitoring to prevent AI drift or unexpected changes to the system. 

He reassured attendees about the accuracy of transcription technology, noting, “The transcripts are very accurate regardless of accent. So that’s really important to us.”  

AI-Powered candidate engagement

Furthering the theme of innovation, Preddy highlighted Hirevue’s agentic AI-powered solutions that enhance candidate engagement while reducing application drop-off.

• Conversational job search: Candidates can interact with a chatbot for personalized roles based on their skills and preferences.  
• Resume analysis and feedback: Resumes are scanned by the system to determine skill gaps with precision.  
• Find My Fit Assessment: Predictive assessments match candidates with suitable opportunities.  

She underscored the sobering statistic that 92% of candidates who click “Apply” never finish submitting applications, a challenge Hirevue aims to solve through seamless, personalized experiences built on AI-driven continuous engagement.
