HireVue, a global leader in skills-based hiring, has introduced HireVue Talent Engagement, an AI-driven hiring agent designed to help talent acquisition teams find best-fit candidates quickly while maintaining a personalized, high-quality experience. The launch addresses one of recruiting’s biggest challenges—balancing speed with quality—by combining science-backed AI with dynamic, conversational engagement.
With 92% of job seekers abandoning online applications shortly after starting them (Appcast), HireVue’s new solution aims to keep candidates engaged from the first click. Unlike scripted chatbots, the platform delivers human-like, tailored conversations that guide applicants toward roles they may have otherwise missed. Built on validated data and decades of industrial-organizational psychology research, the system prioritizes skill matching to improve retention and on-the-job performance.
“We’ve been intentional in our approach to generative and agentic AI,” said Marcy Daniel, Chief Product Officer at HireVue. “This isn’t just a chatbot, it’s a personalized guide that transforms the candidate’s online experience. Job seekers can discover and apply to best-fit roles they might have otherwise overlooked, and recruiters no longer have to choose between speed and quality.”

Key benefits include faster candidate matching through AI-powered automation, improved quality-of-hire via skill-based recommendations, and consistent, human-like interactions at scale. By removing the need for recruiters to manually sift through applications, the tool helps teams manage high applicant volumes without sacrificing fit or engagement.
With economic uncertainty and potential spikes in applicant numbers ahead, HireVue Talent Engagement offers employers a competitive edge—enabling them to act quickly, make smarter hiring decisions, and foster stronger long-term workforce retention.
