ManpowerGroup UK uses Hubert's AI interviewer to run structured voice or text screening interviews at any hour and score and rank candidates for recruiters, cutting screening time 67% with 85% completion

L2 · Supervised Unverified · Reported Staffing & Recruiting HR

ManpowerGroup UK processes thousands of applications across markets and wanted consistent early screening that frees recruiters. Candidates who apply are immediately invited to a structured, job-relevant interview with Hubert by voice or text; responses are evaluated against defined competency criteria in real time and candidates are scored, ranked and surfaced to recruiters, who make the hiring decisions. Hubert reports a 67% reduction in recruiter screening time, 85% interview completion, a 9/10 average candidate experience score, and over 60% of interviews completed outside office hours (reported by Hubert; ManpowerGroup UK MD Michael Stull quoted confirming the 67% and 9/10 figures).

Problem

High application volumes across markets, the need for consistent bias-reducing assessment, and recruiter time lost to early screening (reported by Hubert)

Workflow

  1. Candidate applies and is invited immediately to a Hubert interview
  2. Hubert conducts a structured voice or text interview on competency criteria
  3. Responses are evaluated in real time against a fixed framework
  4. Candidates are scored and ranked
  5. Recruiters review the ranked shortlist and decide next steps

Human-in-the-loop: Final evaluation, contextual judgment and hiring recommendations stay with ManpowerGroup recruiters.
