What is an Explainability Statement? HireVue’s AI Explainability Statement is an HR technology 1st and has been reviewed by the ICO and supported by Best Practice AI, together with Simmons & Simmons and Jacob Turner of Fountain Court Chambers. The statement provides information on how HireVue’s Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based assessments work, including why, when and how it uses this technology to help customers make better hiring decisions.
HireVue considers the ethical development of AI, candidate transparency and, privacy to be core values of the business. HireVue’s AI Explainability statement is the latest proactive step to ensure that its technology is at the forefront of emerging best practices in the use of HR hiring technologies. The Explainability Statement, together with previously commissioned independent audits, provides customers with meaningful information about the logic involved in HireVue’s technology. Together they are the latest tools to help companies understand the processing of personal data. You can see the most recent version here.
Creating a new standard in transparency, AI explainability statements provide meaningful information about the logic involved in a given AI-based solution. These statements are written with multiple stakeholders in mind, including technology buyers and the end-user (in our case, candidates).

Why did HireVue publish an AI Explainability Statement?
As with all of our pioneering steps in transparency, we embarked on this process voluntarily. We can see the momentum from regulatory bodies beginning to discuss the possibility of requiring AI Explainability Statements, and support this path forward for all. Perhaps the best example of the potential requirement is this concept as an important part of the EU’s draft AI Regulation.
The final decision to move forward with the project - whether or not it’s codified into law - was confirmed at one of our frequent internal roundtable discussions. A group of prominent AI researchers and skeptics agreed that it was a meaningful step toward greater transparency, which affirmed for us that our instincts to undertake the project were correct.
