HireVue states its video-based algorithmic assessments provide “excellent insight into attributes like social intelligence , communication skills, personality traits, and overall job aptitude.” Loren Larsen, Chief Technology Officer at HireVue, states in a press release that game-based assessments measure ‘emotional IQ” and “build upon the understanding of cognitive ability, enabling hiring managers to understand more about a candidate’s abilities.”The EFF says HireVue “collects facial data from job candidates to evaluate expressions of emotion and personality” It says so-called “facial action units” make up to 29 percent of a candidate’s score.
