ManpowerGroup has announced a global partnership with Hubert to expand AI-powered hiring capabilities while maintaining a human-centered recruitment approach. The collaboration supports ManpowerGroup’s “Humans First, Digital Always” strategy, which blends responsible AI with recruiter expertise to improve hiring outcomes for both employers and job seekers.
According to Valerie Beaulieu-James, the partnership allows AI technology to manage early-stage screening while recruiters focus on the aspects of hiring that require human insight, such as identifying potential, building relationships, and connecting candidates with meaningful career opportunities. She described this balance between technology and human judgment as a key part of the company’s “Human Edge” philosophy.

The partnership comes as organizations worldwide face growing talent shortages. Research cited by ManpowerGroup shows that 72% of employers globally report difficulty finding the skilled talent they need, increasing pressure on companies to improve candidate engagement and hiring efficiency.
Through Hubert’s structured AI-powered interview platform, ManpowerGroup aims to deliver several improvements to the recruitment process. These include faster candidate screening, enabling employers to identify qualified talent earlier in the hiring cycle, and more accurate candidate matching through structured interviews that evaluate applicants against clearly defined role criteria. The system also supports bias reduction by applying consistent evaluation standards across all candidates.
Another key advantage is increased accessibility for job seekers. Because AI interviews can be completed at any time, more than 60% of candidates conduct interviews outside traditional business hours, allowing them to participate in the hiring process on their own schedule.

Despite the expanded use of AI, final hiring decisions remain under the control of experienced ManpowerGroup recruiters. The technology is designed to support human judgment rather than replace it.
Fredrik Östgren emphasized that the platform is built to make hiring more accessible and equitable at scale by ensuring consistent candidate evaluation.
Following successful implementations in several markets, ManpowerGroup plans to expand the partnership throughout 2026 as part of a broader AI-driven ecosystem that includes workforce insights, career development tools, and data-driven talent intelligence.
