Aleris' high-volume recruitment process contained several manual steps, including a knowledge test that could only be administered twice a week on location. This created long waiting times, heavy administrative load, and a process that was difficult to scale. With application volumes rising, Aleris needed an AI recruitment solution that could deliver a faster, more professional candidate experience but without sacrificing quality or human judgment.
Aleris deployed AI structured interviews with Hubert so that every candidate completes a competency-based screening interview at the first point of application. Recruiters receive ranked recommendations directly in their ATS, giving them everything they need to build a shortlist. Because Hubert's models are deterministic, every recommendation is consistent, explainable, and fully auditable – built for organizations where responsible hiring isn't optional.
Key capabilities that drove the decision:
Since this solution needed to be implemented fast, Hubert was the natural choice. From signing to going live, it only took five working days.
Since deploying Hubert, Aleris has replaced a manual, bottlenecked screening process with a scalable, structured hiring flow. Hubert has delivered measurable results across efficiency, cost, and candidate experience:
Candidate experience was a priority for the Aleris team and the resulting data delivered. At the end of every AI interview, candidates rate their experience consistently scoring Hubert 9/10. Candidates describe the process as relevant, flexible, and stress-free - particularly the ability to complete it at any time, anywhere.
Here are what two candidates had to say:
"The interview was clear, easy to follow, and the questions were relevant to the role. Being able to answer at my own pace, directly in the chat, felt great." — CSAT 10/10
"Relevant questions that made you stop and think. That can be a challenge, but it's also very valuable." — CSAT 9/10
What sets Hubert apart from generic AI recruiting tools is how it's built. Rather than automating decisions, Hubert uses deterministic, competency-based models that give every candidate a fair, consistent screening experience, while also keeping the hiring decision firmly with the recruiter. For an organization like Aleris, that distinction matters.
