HireVue wins DE&I solution of the year at TIARA Talent Tech Star Awards

London, UK – 20th July 2022 – HireVue, the global leader in video interviewing, assessments, and text-enabled recruiting tools, has today announced its award win for “DE&I Solution Of The Year” at the TIARA Talent Tech Star Awards. Currently, over 800 organisations benefit from HireVue’s investment in DE&I, with over 30 million video interviews, 6 million assessments, and 46 million SMS and WhatsApp messages completed on the platform to date.

HireVue secured the award win after judges praised the recruitment platform for its impact on diverse and inclusive hiring at scale, which it achieves by taking a multi-pronged approach to reducing bias and ensuring a great experience for both clients and candidates.

Richard Matthews, Head of Talent and Resourcing at the Co-operative Bank said, “As the world’s first customer-led ethical bank, it is critical to us that we mirror the diverse communities that we serve.”

Matthews added, “HireVue has enabled us to interview and assess as many candidates as possible in a fair, consistent and open way, to streamline and accelerate our process, and to deliver a best-in-class experience. We’re now proud to have a 50/50 gender hiring split across all levels of our business. Our Executive Committee is almost 50/50, we have just appointed our first female CTO this year, we have significantly reduced bias from our hiring process.”

In 2019, HireVue partnered with the Autism Employment Advisors to design a more inclusive platform. This allows those who use HireVue to benefit from a hiring experience which has been created with a diverse hiring pool in mind.

A core principle for HireVue is that DE&I starts with dismantling biases in the hiring process, from end-to-end, one step at a time; and that doing so is one of the most powerful ways to create economic opportunities that result in a more equitable and just society. This allows companies who use HireVue to hire the best talent for the job role regardless of factors such as race, gender, sexual orientation and age.

Alongside this, HireVue’s text-powered conversational AI, video interviewing, assessment and automated chatbot tools make it easier to interview candidates from anywhere in the world and interact with a higher number of candidates from diverse backgrounds by offering video interviews in over 30 languages.

Darren Jaffrey, General Manager of APAC & EMEA at HireVue commented, “Improving diversity and inclusion in hiring is a strategic business imperative and it’s great to see our team’s dedication to helping businesses hire a diverse and equitable workforce being recognised by the TIARA Talent Tech Star Awards this year.”

Jaffrey continued “Customers who are using HireVue can help their business to hire in a fairer way while filling critical open positions with top talent in a timely manner.”
