Hubert and Grade have entered into a partnership to integrate their AI technology and high-quality recruitment solutions. Together, this collaboration will enable faster, fairer, and more transparent high-volume recruitment directly within Grade’s ATS. The partnership formally launched in December 2025.

Grade, trusted by Nordic enterprises for over 30 years, including Karolinska Institutet, Arbetsförmedlingen, and Lunds University, provides a flexible and scalable ATS system (Grade Varbi) for organizations with high security and quality standards. After the merge 2021, Grade is today a leading Nordic HR-tech provider, supporting the employee lifecycle within the public sector and large organizations.

Hubert helps high-volume hiring teams automate candidate screening with structured, AI-powered interviews. Candidates complete chat-based interviews scored on their experience, motivation, competencies and situational behaviors. Recruiters receive unbiased 0-100 scores and full transcripts in their ATS, enabling faster, fairer, and more data-driven decisions.

Designed to support modern talent acquisition teams, Hubert delivers up to 5x higher screening precision and an 80% reduction in time-to-hire. By combining Hubert with Grade’s market-leading ATS system – delivering secure, efficient performance with a user-first experience we’re enabling TA leaders and recruiters to support every step of the hiring journey more efficiently than ever before.

“Our customers operate in highly regulated and mission-critical environments, where security, quality, and fairness are fundamental requirements. Their recruitment processes must meet strict demands for compliance, data protection, and transparency. By partnering with Hubert, we extend Varbi with AI technology designed to meet public-sector standards and high-volume recruitment needs. The integration provides a secure and practical way to modernize early-stage screening, improve the candidate experience, and support fair, consistent, and data-driven hiring decisions – all while maintaining full control, accountability, and trust throughout the recruitment process.”

- Martin Heden Lindgren, Head of Partnerships at Grade Varbi

“High-volume recruitment has been broken for years – not because teams lack ambition, but because the tools haven’t kept up with the complexity and responsibility of hiring at scale. Partnering with Grade allows us to bring AI-powered screening into one of the most trusted ATS platforms in the Nordics, in a way that respects the realities of regulated and mission-critical hiring. Together, we’re enabling recruiters to screen faster and more consistently, treat every candidate fairly, and maintain full transparency and accountability throughout the process, without compromising on quality or trust.”

- Fredrik Östgren, CEO at Hubert

To mark the partnership, Hubert and Grade will be hosting a joint webinar coming soon, offering an exclusive first look at the future of AI-powered recruiting.
