Our science
We’ve delivered over 20 million interviews to help identify which candidates would be the best fit for a specific job. By combining the traditionally separate interview and assessment steps into one step that is backed by science, we’re improving the experience of candidates, while reducing both implicit and explicit bias in hiring.
HireVue has always been committed to good science that creates a level playing field for all candidates and helps companies consider a larger and more diverse set of candidates than ever before.
Meet the Data Science team
HireVue’s approach to pre-hire assessments relies on two distinct fields of science: Industrial and Organizational Psychology (IO) and Data Science. Our team of carefully assembled experts bring a range of experiences from fields as diverse as physics, economics, medical imaging and IO psychology.
