MODEL COMPARISON

Two ways to score an interview

Most AI hiring tools score candidates with large language models. LLMs are excellent at language, but scoring is different: careers depend on it, and it demands something stricter.

How Hubert scores

Deterministic models

  • ✓The same answer always gets the same score
  • ✓Every score traceable to explicit criteria
  • ✓Models versioned and locked for the hiring cycle
  • ✓Bias you can test, measure, and correct
  • ✓Documentation ready for audit
How most tools score

Probabilistic LLMs

  • ✕The same answer can get different scores between runs
  • ✕Reasoning you cannot fully inspect
  • ✕Behavior drifts as the underlying model updates
  • ✕Bias is hard to isolate and correct
  • ✕Difficult to document for regulators

Two layers, one platform

The conversation uses AI to feel warm and human. The assessment runs on deterministic proprietary models, and the explanation a recruiter sees is the exact logic that produced the score, not a story written after the fact. You do not have to choose between a human experience and an auditable one.

HOW IT WORKS

From answer to auditable score

01

Structured interview

Every candidate gets the same competency-based questions, by text or voice, in 30+ languages, around the clock.

02

Criteria-based scoring

Answers are scored on behavioral anchors in the STAR framework, with explicit weights recruiters can see and set.

03

Faithful explanations

The explanation shown to a recruiter is the same logic that generated the score; nothing is reconstructed after the fact.

04

The recruiter decides

Hubert surfaces a ranked shortlist with a full audit trail. No automated rejections; the final call always stays human.

Framework

Six principles of Responsible AI

These are the six pillars Hubert's assessment models and products are designed against to ensure responsible AI in hiring in everything we do.

  • ExplainabilityTransparent explanations for every AI score. No 'black-boxes'.
  • QualityScientifically validated assessments that predict real-world performance.
  • ConsistencySame input, same output. Deterministic scoring.
  • SecurityData privacy and data minimization by design.
  • FairnessEqual opportunity for all candidates, regardless of protected characteristics.
  • Human oversightDecision remains firmly with the recruiter.

COMPLIANCE

Legally defensible by design

The EU AI Act classifies AI used in recruitment as high risk, with requirements for transparency, human oversight, and accuracy. Hubert is built on those principles by design, not retrofitted: every shortlisting decision is auditable, every assessment criterion is documented, and every candidate can understand how they were evaluated.

Same input, same output, every time
Every score traceable to criteria
Bias testable, measurable, correctable
The final decision stays human

Frequently asked questions

What is a deterministic AI model in hiring?
+
A deterministic model always produces the same output for the same input. In hiring, that means a candidate's answer receives the same score no matter when it is assessed, which makes the process consistent, auditable, and fair.
How is deterministic scoring different from LLM scoring?
+
LLMs are probabilistic, so the same answer can receive different scores between runs, and their explanations are generated after the score. Hubert's deterministic models score against explicit criteria, and the explanation is the exact logic behind the score.
Does Hubert use AI for the interview conversation?
+
Yes. The conversational layer uses AI to make the interview feel natural and human. The assessment layer that scores answers runs on deterministic proprietary models, so the experience is warm and the scoring is auditable.
Who makes the final hiring decision?
+
The recruiter, always. Hubert surfaces a ranked, explainable shortlist but never rejects a candidate automatically; the final call stays human.
