HireVue Acquires Hireguide Technology to Advance Agentic AI Hiring

Hirevue, a global provider of skills-based hiring solutions, has announced the acquisition of the technology behind Hireguide, a company known for developing agentic AI tools designed for recruiting. As part of the acquisition, the Hireguide team will join Hirevue’s product organization to help accelerate the development of conversational AI agents that enhance hiring workflows across large enterprises.

The move comes at a time when organizations are facing increasing pressure in their hiring processes. With the rise of AI-generated resumes and automated applications, companies are receiving higher volumes of applicants than ever before. This surge in applications makes it difficult for recruiters to quickly identify candidates with genuine capabilities. Traditional screening methods such as resume reviews or generic chatbots often fail to provide the deeper insights needed to evaluate candidates effectively.

By combining Hireguide’s AI technology with Hirevue’s expertise in hiring science and enterprise talent assessment, the company aims to build an end-to-end agentic hiring experience. The goal is to introduce greater intelligence, consistency, and structure throughout the recruitment process, helping organizations identify qualified candidates more efficiently.

One of the first outcomes of this integration will be the launch of a voice-based AI Interviewer designed to evaluate candidate capabilities earlier in the hiring process. Unlike resume screening or text-based interactions, voice-based conversations can provide richer insights into a candidate’s communication style, problem-solving approach, and overall suitability for a role. The technology is intended to help companies scale candidate evaluations while maintaining an engaging and human-centered experience for applicants.

Jeremy Friedman, CEO of Hirevue, explained that the acquisition supports the company’s vision of transforming hiring workflows through AI-driven intelligence rather than simple automation. According to Friedman, the technology will help organizations address one of the most pressing challenges in modern recruitment cutting through large volumes of applications to identify candidates who truly possess the skills required for the role.

Scott Parish, CEO and founder of Hireguide, noted that the company has focused on developing an AI interviewer that balances efficiency with strong governance and trust for both recruiters and candidates. By joining Hirevue, the team aims to expand the reach of its technology while building solutions that combine data-driven insights with validated hiring practices.

Hirevue’s broader platform uses AI-powered hiring agents to automate candidate qualification, guide structured interviews, and align candidate evaluations with competencies proven to predict job performance. The company emphasizes that its AI tools are designed to support human decision-making rather than replace it. Organizations maintain control over how AI is used in the hiring process, with transparency and clear communication provided to candidates throughout the experience.
