One of the biggest benefits that the business saw was around reducing unconscious bias. HireVue has helped reduce bias by 90% from the hiring process, which has contributed to achieving a 50 / 50 hiring split for gender across all levels of the business so far in 2021. Previously, this was 70 / 30 and male dominated. The Executive Committee is now also very diverse with a 50 / 50 gender split. This really helps other people in the business aspire to be what they can see”.
Unconscious bias compounds at every step of the traditional hiring process. HireVue’s AI-driven approach mitigates bias by eliminating unreliable and inconsistent variables like selection based on resume and phone screens, letting you focus on more job-relevant criteria. AI empowers you to assess each candidate in a large pool quickly and fairly, so you can make high-quality inclusive hiring decisions.
The traditional candidate screening process is inconsistent. Resume screens are just that, quick scans that are seconds or minutes long, focusing on characteristics that are known to be less predictive of performance like GPA, former company, and years of experience. Phone screens are also highly unstructured, leading to even greater variability in which talent makes it through your hiring funnel.
Structuring the interviewing process right from the start with assessments and video interviews brings consistent and fair evaluation of candidates, yielding better, more inclusive hiring outcomes.
