AI Case Study

"Hilton’s high-volume recruiting process prior to HireVue included the use of a traditional assessment with more than 100 questions that often took in excess of an hour to complete. The multiple-step process had low completion rates and impacted overall time to hire, averaging around six weeks to fill a training class of 25 new hires. Weaver and her team partnered with HireVue’s IO team to develop a new video assessment process. Using HireVue Assessments, Hilton collapsed its multi-step process into a single video assessment. The platform uses predictive analytics to assess a candidate’s vocabulary, intonation and nonverbal gestures. By identifying the definitive traits of top performers, Hilton positioned itself to focus on the best candidates.

HireVue Assessments are created by industry-leading I-O Psychologists and delivered via video interview. Our validated approach predicts the top performers you need to meet your business objectives.

Responses to video interviews are full of data. The content of the verbal response, intonation, and nonverbal communication are just a few of the 25,000 data points we collect. These data points are analyzed by our proprietary machine learning algorithms to accurately predict a potential employee's skills, fit and future job performance.

The HireVue Assessments model -- the algorithm -- is looking for which words are used, the type and meaning of statements made, and overall expressiveness. It also notices emotions that can be detected from voice and facial expressions, such as enthusiasm for the subject being discussed. Because there are cultural variations in degrees of expressiveness and explicit emotion, we train the model using data featuring people from the same culture. "
