The typical hiring process often shuts out the best candidates.

Modern Hire’s intelligent hiring platform elevates standards of fairness with pre-hire assessments and automated interview technology designed and tested with faster, fairer hiring and diverse outcomes as the goal.

With our AI-based hiring innovations, recruiters focus on job-relevant competencies and predictive analytics — and away from demographics and candidate resume claims, which are known to promote human bias.

Hiring workflows built on tools proven to reduce bias and increase fairness

Advancing the Field

Our team’s ongoing investigations into the use of advanced applied AI technology are regularly published in peer-reviewed scientific outlets. This research helps define and evolve ethical AI hiring practices that lead to fairer, more diverse outcomes, including:

  • Our unique Glass-Box Science™ approach that provides visibility into how data is collected and used.
  • Use of closed-loop design for continually monitoring and adjusting for adverse impact.
  • Asking candidates for their consent in the use of AI.
  • Scrupulously avoiding practices known to be invalid, such as the use of social media data in hiring.

Bias reduction with Automated Interview Scoring

Clients committed to diversity hiring are seeing measurable results with Modern Hire.

Case Study: Increasing Minority Hiring

For many of today’s leading organizations, it’s no longer enough to simply ensure your hiring process is compliant and doesn’t create adverse impact; true leaders want to drive toward creating a more diverse organization. A recent review of data from four long-term Modern Hire clients demonstrated that the Virtual Job Tryout (VJT) can play a key role in these efforts. By comparing the make-up of the employee population before and after the implementation of the VJT, clients in multiple industries saw significant improvements in new hire diversity. On average, clients saw an increase of more than 40% in ethnicity and 26% in gender diversity.

“AI can help us recognize potential prejudice and avoid making hiring decisions based on a characteristic that has nothing to do with someone’s ability to be good at their job.”
