HR Tech 2024 preview: Revolutionize your candidate experience

The candidate's experience is at the heart of recruitment success. In today’s fast-paced, digital-first world, job seekers expect a process that is not only efficient but also engaging and personalized. Enter HireVue Human Potential Intelligence, a game-changer that is transforming the way companies evaluate and interact with candidates.

As we prepare for HR Tech 2024, there is a lot of discussion on the importance of candidate experience—and when nearly 80% of candidates expect AI transparency in the process, ensuring you provide a great hiring journey  is critical.

According to a recent HireVue survey:

• 67% of candidates have turned down a job because the hiring process was poor.
• 62% of job seekers cited poor communication as the top reason for a lousy hiring process, while 46% said it was due to a lack of transparency and 32% said it was due to a lengthy hiring process.
• 55% of respondents said a quick, transparent hiring process was the #1 hiring characteristic that would draw them toward a company.

As HR leaders look for ways to streamline talent acquisition, HireVue’s innovative solution offers a glimpse into the future of recruitment—where science-backed AI merges with a human touch to enhance the candidate journey. Here’s how AI-driven technology is redefining hiring trends, hiring strategy, and the candidate experience:

1. Faster, fairer interviews

Traditional hiring includes long waits from email and phone tag, lack of personalization, and invites bias into the process with unstructured environments. HireVue’s Human Potential Intelligence leverages AI-powered solutions that are specifically designed to assess skills and competencies—quickly and efficiently. 

By adding structure, such as asking every candidate the same question and evaluating them against a shared rubric, teams can mitigate bias that frequently slips into human decision-making. This makes interviews not only faster but fairer, ensuring that every candidate is judged on skill rather than background.

2. Personalization at scale

One size never fits all—especially in hiring. HireVue empowers companies to tailor assessments based on specific job roles, ensuring that job-specific competencies are at the heart of your selection. This personalized approach leads to a more engaging and positive experience for candidates, making them feel valued and giving them an application process that is aligned with the role. .

Personalization reaches new heights with tools  like Find My Fit, which presents candidates with all roles that they fit—not just the ones they search for. After a brief assessment, Find My Fit matches the roles that best match their potential. Quickly assess skills, interests, and even personality to present candidates with more opportunities. Therefore, teams can expand the diversity of their talent pool and attract more qualified candidates to the process at the very beginning of the funnel.

3. Continuous engagement

Gone are the days when candidates were left in the dark for weeks after an interview—or rather those should be gone. HireVue provides continuous engagement, keeping candidates informed and engaged throughout the process. This transparency reduces anxiety and builds trust, even for those who may not ultimately land the role—especially important for candidates who are also potential customers.

Plus, HireVue conversational AI extends from application all the way to the start of the job—so even after the offer is accepted, new employees aren’t left in the dark on last minute details before day 1. 

4. Mobile-friendly and on-demand

Today’s candidates value convenience and flexibility and they want more control over how they work: 50% of employees will skip a pay raise if they can get a flexible working schedule. And while 56% of companies are asking staff to come back into the office more regularly, employees are pushing back and demanding autonomy. Flexibility is no longer about working from home. It’s about the freedom to create an adaptable schedule that fits into their everyday lives.

With HireVue, candidates can complete interviews and assessments anytime, anywhere. The platform’s mobile-friendly design means that candidates can engage with the hiring process on their own terms, eliminating unnecessary friction and improving overall satisfaction.

5. Actionable insights for both candidates and employers

HireVue solutions are backed by science, generating actionable insights for everyone in the process. After interviews, candidates can receive relevant feedback, offering perspective on strengths and possible areas of improvement—an especially important feature for those job-searching.

On the flip side, employers gain valuable insights into which candidates are best suited for the role, empowering more informed hiring decisions and providing data-driven decision support instead of “gut-instinct.”

The future of hiring is a win-win for candidates and employers.

In the competitive talent landscape, offering a positive, tech-driven candidate experience isn’t just a perk—it’s a necessity.
