Patent number: 11232408Abstract: A computing system includes a processing device to execute instructions to: store a trained modeling function that embodies a correlation between historical ratings and historical evaluation results of recorded responses that were responsive to prompts presented to a set of persons; receive a request to initiate a digital evaluation process for a second person; receive recorded responses of the second person that are responsive to the prompts; generate, by applying the trained modeling function to the recorded responses of the second person, a reviewing sequence by which to view the recorded responses of the second person. The reviewing sequence orders the recorded responses from a most predictive prompt to a least predictive prompt to reduce a time required to efficiently determine an evaluation result. The system further transmits data that causes display of a list of the recorded responses of the second person in the reviewing sequence.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: HireVue, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Taylor, Loren Larsen

Patent number: 10528916Abstract: Described are methods and systems for interview competency and question validation and analysis to improve the effectiveness of evaluation campaigns. In one method, processing logic of an interview design program, hosted by a digital evaluation platform, receives a request from a first device to create a digital interview for a position. The interview design program sends a list of competencies associated with the position and receives a selection of a set of desired competencies. The interview design program determines a list of questions that differentiate candidates within the desired competencies, ranks the list of questions by importance, and sends the list of questions and the ranking information to the first device and receives a selection of a set of desired questions. The interview design program creates the digital interview with the set of desired questions. The digital evaluation platform presents the digital interview to a candidate on a second device.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2015Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: HireVue Inc.Inventors: Benjamin Taylor, Daniel Bray, Loren Larsen, Christopher Luman

Patent number: 10438135Abstract: Technology for training a predictive model is described. A processing device collects digital interview data including features identified from candidate interviews. A model training tool selects a data set of the digital interview data. The data set includes a predicted performance outcome and an actual performance outcome for each of a plurality of candidates. The model training tool determines an error metric for each of the plurality of candidates. The error metric includes a relationship between the predicted performance outcome and the actual performance outcome for each candidate. The model training tool determines a number of candidates whose digital interview data includes a feature corresponding to a protected class. The model training tool normalizes an effect of each candidate on the error metric based on the corresponding protected class and applies the normalized error metric to reduce bias in the predictive model with respect to the protected class.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2016Date of Patent: October 8, 2019Assignee: HireVue, Inc.Inventors: Loren Larsen, Benjamin Taylor
