Grade and Hubert Partner to Improve Early-Stage Recruitment

Recruitment teams are expected to move faster while meeting higher demands for fairness, transparency, and compliance. Early-stage screening is often where this balance is hardest to achieve and where processes tend to slow down. 

That’s why Grade has partnered with Hubert. 

By integrating Hubert’s AI-based interview technology directly into Grade Varbi, talent acquisition teams can streamline early screening while keeping structure, consistency, and control. 

Structured screening without the bottlenecks 

Manual CV reviews and initial phone screenings are time-consuming and difficult to scale. With the Hubert integration, candidates complete structured interviews early in the process. Experience, motivation, skills, and behaviours are assessed consistently for every candidate. 

Recruiters receive clear summaries, scores, and full transcripts directly in Varbi—making it easier to identify relevant candidates and move forward with confidence, while reducing manual workload. 

“Our customers operate in regulated environments where fairness, security, and transparency are essential. With Hubert, we add AI-based screening that meets these requirements while helping customers modernise early-stage recruitment—without losing control or trust.”

Better decisions, fairer comparisons 

Standardised interviews give recruiters a stronger decision foundation. Candidates are assessed using the same criteria, making it easier to compare fairly, reduce unconscious bias, and base decisions on relevant competencies rather than gut feeling. 

For public-sector organisations, this structure also supports auditability and compliance without adding complexity. 

A better experience for candidates 

Candidates can complete interviews when it suits them, without scheduling delays. Clear structure and faster feedback create a smoother and more respectful experience, even in high-volume recruitment. 

Fully embedded in Grade Varbi 

Because Hubert is integrated directly into Varbi, recruiters work in one system and follow existing workflows. AI supports the process where it adds value—while human judgement remains central. 

Through this partnership, Grade continues to support modern, responsible recruitment by combining a trusted ATS with structured, AI-supported screening
