Modern Hire, the all-in-one enterprise hiring platform that enables

CognitIOn by Modern Hire is the company's industry-leading science, represented 
by its capabilities and expertise in data science, predictive analytics, 
artificial intelligence and industrial-organizational (I/O) psychology. It is 
also built on Modern Hire's deep experience with HR and hiring process, legal 
know-how and candidate focus, representing the deepest and broadest talent 
intelligence available to hire the most diverse, engaged and qualified 
workforce.

"Our team of Ph.D. data scientists and industrial-organizational psychologists 
are the best in their field and absolutely integral in everything Modern Hire 
does," said Mike Hudy, Ph.D. and Chief Science Officer at Modern Hire. "The 
rigorous and ongoing science powered by CognitIOn by Modern Hire enables our 
clients to make more personalized, data-driven hiring decisions and provide a 
superior candidate experience. This launch reaffirms our commitment to driving 
research and innovation in our field while delivering practical new ways of 
measuring and understanding human performance in the workplace."

CognitIOn by Modern Hire is powered by tens of millions of annual candidate 
interactions, practical application of advanced AI techniques, and nearly two 
decades of diligent, data-driven client research and practice by the company's 
40+ Ph.D. industrial-organizational and data scientists. By combining 
comprehensive expertise in I/O psychology, talent selection science, diversity 
and fairness, candidate experience, the practical application of ethical AI, 
data science, advanced analytics, and employment law, CognitIOn by Modern Hire 
empowers its enterprise clients – including 47 of the Fortune 100 – to make 
more transparent, predictive, engaging and fair hiring decisions. 

CognitIOn by Modern Hire is embedded in all of the company's products and 
innovations, including its Automated Interview Scoring (AIS), an on-demand 
video interview feature that uses AI to evaluate candidate responses and 
provide recruiters and hiring managers with recommended scores to ensure a more 
fair, unbiased and complete hiring experience. AIS is currently available to 
existing clients as part of an Early Access Program and will go to general 
release later this year.

AIS uses proven science, natural language processing (NLP) and deep learning to 
reliably replicate the judgment of professionally trained experts. While most 
models of this type are deployed with a 60% reliability factor compared to 
humans, Modern Hire presented scientific study results showing that AIS 
received a reliability score of 89% at a recent Society of 
Industrial-Organizational Psychology event – proving that AIS arms interviewers 
with a tool that enables more consistent, accurate, efficient and fair hiring 
decisions. 

"Interviewing is a traditionally subjective and biased process. Through no 
fault of their own, interviewers incorporate factors not related to the job 
into their evaluation of candidates," said Eric Sydell, Ph.D. and EVP of 
Innovation at Modern Hire. "AIS removes the subjective, biased nature of the 
interviewing process by focusing only on the job-relevant aspects of 
candidates' responses and evaluating every candidate on the exact same 
criteria. This creates a more transparent, ethical and consistent hiring 
process, while still enabling the interviewer – not the AI – to make the final 
decision."

CognitIOn has been leveraged by Walmart, Amazon, CVS Health and Bank of America 
to win four of the last five prestigious Human Resource Impact Awards from SIOP 
and SHRM. These awards recognize each organization's hiring solution for saving 
millions of dollars annually in reduced turnover, saving decades of hiring 
manager time in increased efficiency, supporting extremely high-volume hiring, 
and delivering an innovative and engaging candidate experience.
