Hirevue launches its AI-facial reader for video job interviews in the UK

The cutting-edge recruitment combo of Artificial intelligence (AI) and facial expression tech is making its debut in UK job interviews to help select the best talent with less bias.

The algorithms select the best applicants by assessing their performances in the videos against about 25,000 pieces of facial and linguistic information compiled from previous interviews of those who have gone on to prove to be good at the job.
