ManpowerGroup announced a global partnership with Hubert, a pioneer in AI‑powered interviewing, to expand its “Humans First, Digital Always” hiring approach. The collaboration will deploy Hubert’s structured, criteria‑based screening interviews across ManpowerGroup’s worldwide client base, allowing recruiters to focus on candidate potential while the AI handles early screening.
Hubert’s platform conducts conversational, data‑driven interviews that assess candidates against predefined criteria, reducing bias and cutting the time required for initial screening. By automating the early stages of the hiring process, ManpowerGroup can accelerate placement cycles and free recruiters to engage in higher‑value activities such as evaluating cultural fit and building relationships with candidates.
The partnership is a key component of ManpowerGroup’s broader digital transformation, which seeks to address the global talent shortage and improve hiring outcomes. By integrating AI into its talent‑solutions portfolio, the company aims to deliver faster, more equitable hiring experiences and strengthen its competitive position in a market where 72% of employers report difficulty finding skilled talent.
In its most recent earnings release, ManpowerGroup reported Q4 2025 revenue of $4.7 billion, a 7% year‑over‑year increase that beat analyst expectations of $4.63 billion. Earnings per share were $0.64, missing the consensus estimate of $0.82, while adjusted EPS reached $0.92. The company guided Q1 2026 EPS to a range of $0.45 to $0.55, in line with the consensus estimate of $0.48. Investors responded positively to the revenue beat and the company’s AI focus, reflecting confidence in its digital‑transformation strategy.
Valerie Beaulieu‑James, Chief Growth & Innovation Officer, said: “This partnership puts people at the center of hiring, candidates and employers alike. When AI handles early screening, our recruiters focus on what no algorithm can replicate: understanding potential, building trust, and connecting people to meaningful work. That’s ‘The Human Edge’ in action.” Fredrik Östgren, CEO of Hubert, added: “Every candidate deserves a fair, consistent assessment and smooth experience, regardless of when or where they apply. Hubert is making hiring more accessible and equitable at scale – and with ManpowerGroup as a trusted partner, we’re bringing that impact to even more people worldwide.”
The partnership is expected to reinforce ManpowerGroup’s position as a leading provider of workforce solutions, leveraging AI to improve hiring efficiency and candidate quality while maintaining a human‑centric approach. The company’s recent revenue growth and the strategic emphasis on AI are viewed as positive indicators of its ability to navigate the talent‑shortage landscape and sustain long‑term value creation.
