Structured AI interviews for public sector hiring
Public bodies have to hire fairly, defend every decision, and account for every hour of public spend. Hubert gives every candidate the same structured interview, scored consistently and fully auditable, so your hiring is fair by design and faster as a result.

Public hiring has to be fair, defensible, and accountable, at volume
Public sector teams face high application volumes for essential roles, seasonal peaks like summer recruitment across care and community services, strict fairness and equal-treatment requirements, tight budgets, and the expectation that every decision can be justified in an audit. Manual screening struggles on all of these at once: it is slow, inconsistent between reviewers, hard to document, and expensive in staff time that taxpayers ultimately fund. Good candidates are lost to faster-moving employers while a role sits in review.
Hubert gives every applicant the same structured interview, assessed against the same criteria, with every score tied to a specific answer. Candidates complete it by text or voice, on their phone, in their language. The process is fair by design, documented by default, and faster because consistency removes the bottleneck. It is also how public employers build a more equitable labor market: every applicant is judged on competence rather than connections or CV polish. Talent over privilege.
Public bodies hire fairly, defensibly, and faster

How Hubert works for public sector hiring
Hubert replaces CV screening and early phone screens with one structured AI interview that every candidate can complete at their own pace, on any device, giving every applicant the same fair chance.
Every candidate completes a structured AI interview
Candidates answer role-relevant questions built around the competencies the role requires. The experience is simple to complete, with no app download or account creation required, keeping the process accessible to every applicant.
Every applicant is assessed against the same criteria
Hubert uses structured, competency-based interviews with consistent scoring criteria. Every candidate is evaluated in exactly the same way, which is the foundation of fair, equal treatment and demonstrable diversity outcomes.
Hiring teams receive a ranked shortlist directly in their ATS
Recruiters and hiring managers receive scored candidate summaries, with every score tied to a specific answer, directly in their existing workflow. Documentation is produced automatically, not reconstructed after the fact.
Built for public sector accountability and the EU AI Act
Hubert’s screening model is deterministic, which fair repeatable scoring, every time. That’s not just a technical detail. It means every shortlisting decision is auditable, every assessment criterion is documented, and every candidate can understand how they were evaluated. For a public body accountable to citizens, regulators, and auditors, that is the difference between a process you hope holds up and one built to. This is what EU AI Act compliance looks like in practice.

Malmö Stad: fairer hiring, returned to taxpayers
Malmö Stad’s Health, Care & Welfare Administration runs high-volume summer recruitment for roles its community depends on, and was losing candidates to faster-moving employers before Hubert. By moving to structured AI interviews, the administration cut its recruitment cycle from six weeks to two days, saved 750 hours of administrative work and around 200,000 SEK in a single cycle, and gave every candidate the same fair assessment. Leading with AI in public sector hiring takes courage, and Malmö Stad led the way, freeing public resources and returning them to taxpayers.
