Why HiringBranch and Why Now? Soft Skills AI Interview with the CEO

The future of hiring is both interviewless and more human. The onset of the skills-based hiring global phenomenon has changed the way that humans are evaluated for jobs. Suddenly opportunities exist to hire from a wider and more diverse candidate pool with less bias and greater fairness. Measuring soft skills, rather than degree or on-the-job experience, levels the playing field. More important is the idea that humans are complex, and can’t be properly evaluated on pieces of paper, a multiple-choice questionnaire, or even an interview. "We are uniquely positioned to be a catalyst in the skills-first talent movement with our award-winning Soft Skills AI. The future of hiring starts with skills measurement and we plan to be at the forefront of this paradigm shift as we scale,” said our CEO in a recent press release. We sat down with HiringBranch CEO, Stephane Rivard, to pick up where the conversation left off and ask him - “Why HiringBranch and why now?” Hear what he had to say in this video interview.
