To put it simply, HireVue is a service that helps clients avoid making bad hiring decisions by screening and categorizing candidates, ultimately finding top performers who align with company goals and culture. HireVue employs machine learning algorithms to analyze video interviews and predict job performance. The data will be assessed to determine a candidate's expertise, skills, personality, and integrity through verbal and non-verbal cues. In addition to AI assessment models, HireVue employs IO psychologists who use interview guides with behavioral questions and IO-validated content for candidate recruitment. They explain that their algorithms, when using this approach, can better evaluate candidates, identify top performers, and hire those who best match the company's goals and culture.

According to their definition, a novice would be "willing to bend the rules to deliver in their job role." Someone of intermediate experience "consistently holds themselves accountable for making principled decisions when working to meet the demand." And lastly, an expert "addresses unethical behaviors when working to meet the demand."
