Manpower Group recently declared a global partnership with Hubert aimed at advancing Human-First AI Interviewing capabilities on a global scale. This partnership is a strategic step towards bridging the talent shortage gap, which has hit record-breaking numbers. Currently, 72% of employers are having tremendous difficulties in finding a skilled workforce for critical positions. With this, the company is looking to leverage AI interviewing to speed up the hiring process. This new system allows candidates to take the initial screening at any time. It is quite interesting to note that 60% of these candidates are completing the interviews during non-office hours. This allows organizations to attract top-notch talent at a faster pace than the rest of the industry. Additionally, the platform utilizes explainable technologies to minimize unconscious biases during the selection process.
“This partnership puts people at the center of hiring, candidates and employers alike,” said Valerie Beaulieu-James, Chief Growth & Innovation Officer at ManpowerGroup. “When AI handles early screening, our recruiters focus on what no algorithm can replicate: understanding potential, building trust, and connecting people to meaningful work. That’s ‘The Human Edge’ in action.”
Combining Ethical AI With Human-Centered Recruitment
The emphasis is on empowering human recruiters and not replacing them altogether. By automating this process. The system ensures that there is structured data and transcripts to refer to in the final stages of recruitment. This ensures that hiring managers can concentrate their time and energy on high-value human interactions and decisions. This expansion comes on the heels of a very successful pilot period with the AI pioneer. It is interesting to note that Hubert had won the “Ethical AI Award” at the Viva Technology conference in the past. This ensures that the expansion to the global level is done with the highest standards of transparency. This expansion is in line with the “Humans First, Digital Always” philosophy of the organization.
“Every candidate deserves a fair, consistent assessment and smooth experience, regardless of when or where they apply,” Hubert CEO Fredrik Östgren said. “Hubert is making hiring more accessible and equitable at scale – and with ManpowerGroup as a trusted partner, we’re bringing that impact to even more people worldwide.”
