HireVue recruitment facial analysis screening
HireVue is a Salt Lake City-based company that uses video, gaming, and proprietary algorithms to assess job seekers, whose written answers, behaviour, intonation, and speech are fed into algorithms that assign them certain traits and qualities. The company is seen as amongst the foremost in its sector, and its products are used by 700+ customers in the US, UK, and elsewhere, including General Mills, Kraft and Unilever . A number of HireVue's practices - notably its use of psychological inferences to determine people's ability and character based on facial data - have also proved controversial with academics, ethicists, regulators and commentators.
