ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN) has formed a global partnership with Hubert, an AI-powered interviewing pioneer, to advance its "Humans First, Digital Always" hiring philosophy. The collaboration integrates Hubert's structured, AI-driven screening interviews into ManpowerGroup's processes, enabling faster, fairer, and more accurate talent matching while keeping human recruiters central to final decisions and relationship-building.

Quick Intel

  • ManpowerGroup partners with Hubert to scale responsible, explainable AI in hiring, prioritizing human judgment for trust-building and potential assessment.
  • Hubert's AI conducts structured, criteria-based interviews 24/7, allowing over 60% of candidates to engage outside traditional hours and accelerating access to qualified talent.
  • Key benefits include faster early screening, more precise role matching, reduced bias through consistent standards, and improved candidate experience with quicker feedback.
  • The partnership addresses the global talent shortage, with 72% of employers struggling to find skilled candidates, by balancing immediate needs ("The Now") with future workforce transformation ("The Next").
  • Human recruiters retain control over contextual evaluation, hiring recommendations, and final decisions, preserving "The Human Edge."
  • Following successful pilots, ManpowerGroup plans broader rollout throughout 2026 as part of its AI-powered ecosystem, including potential-based assessments and labor market intelligence.

Enhancing Hiring Efficiency and Equity

With persistent skills shortages and evolving candidate expectations, ManpowerGroup is leveraging Hubert's platform to modernize early-stage screening. The AI handles initial structured interviews against predefined criteria, delivering consistent evaluations that minimize bias and improve match quality between candidates and roles.

This approach frees recruiters to focus on high-value activities—understanding individual potential, fostering trust, and making nuanced hiring recommendations—while candidates benefit from flexible, accessible interview timing and transparent processes.

Delivering Measurable Advantages for Employers and Talent

Organizations gain earlier visibility into job-ready candidates, helping secure critical talent ahead of competitors. The structured format ensures fairness and precision, supporting equitable hiring practices and higher satisfaction on both sides.

For candidates, the experience becomes more inclusive and convenient, recognizing potential beyond traditional credentials and providing timely feedback regardless of location or schedule.

"This partnership puts people at the center of hiring, candidates and employers alike," said Valerie Beaulieu-James, Chief Growth & Innovation Officer at ManpowerGroup. "When AI handles early screening, our recruiters focus on what no algorithm can replicate: understanding potential, building trust, and connecting people to meaningful work. That's 'The Human Edge' in action."

"Every candidate deserves a fair, consistent assessment and smooth experience, regardless of when or where they apply," Hubert CEO Fredrik Östgren said. "Hubert is making hiring more accessible and equitable at scale—and with ManpowerGroup as a trusted partner, we're bringing that impact to even more people worldwide."

The expanded partnership aligns with ManpowerGroup's commitment to ethical AI deployment, maintaining humans in the loop and integrating with tools such as MyPath for personalized career development and the Work Intelligence Lab for labor market insights.
