Who Is HireVue and Why Are They Being Sued for Biometric Data Collection?

HireVue built its business on letting employers screen candidates through recorded video interviews, and for years some of its models went further than just recording — they analyzed facial and vocal patterns to help employers score applicants. That analysis step is exactly what Illinois law regulates. Illinois candidates say HireVue never got the written consent BIPA requires before running that analysis on them.

What Did HireVue Do to Illinois Candidates Between 2017 and 2026?

The lawsuit, Deyerler, et al. v. HireVue, Inc., claims HireVue collected biometric identifiers — facial and voice scans — from Illinois job candidates through its video interview platform without giving them the written disclosures Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act requires. BIPA (740 ILCS 14/1) says companies have to tell you what’s being collected, why, and how long they’ll keep it, in writing, before they collect it. This suit alleges HireVue skipped that step for interviews run through its facial and vocal analysis models.

HireVue disputes all of it. The company denies collecting or possessing any information covered by BIPA and denies violating the law. That’s a normal part of a settlement — nobody has to admit fault to agree to pay.

There’s a detail worth pausing on here. The class period runs through June 25, 2026, but that’s not because the technology was still in use that recently — it’s the date the court gave preliminary approval to the settlement. HireVue says the interview models actually at issue were phased out starting in 2020 and fully retired by February 2023. So the class window is wider than the years the tech was actually running.

If you’ve dealt with a similar case before, our coverage of the Illinois fingerprint timeclock BIPA settlement walks through how these biometric consent cases tend to play out from filing to payout.

Who Qualifies for the HireVue BIPA Settlement?

Here’s exactly how to know if this case includes you.

• Illinois residents who completed a HireVue video interview involving the relevant facial or voice analysis models between January 27, 2017 and June 25, 2026
• Candidates who received an email notice with a Login ID and PIN — records already flag your interview as likely eligible
• Anyone who completed a qualifying interview but didn’t get an email notice — you can still file, and the administrator will check eligibility against HireVue’s records
• People who kept the interview invitation or completion confirmation email, since that’s the proof required to file

Completing any HireVue interview doesn’t automatically make you eligible. The case only covers interviews run through the specific models that analyzed facial or vocal characteristics — not every HireVue interview ever conducted.

HireVue Biometric Data Collection Outside Illinois — Are You Still Covered?

This is a state-law case, not a nationwide one. BIPA is an Illinois statute, so this settlement only covers people who were in Illinois when they completed the interview. If you interviewed through HireVue from another state, this particular settlement doesn’t include you.

How Much Can HireVue BIPA Settlement Class Members Get? Up to $150 Per Person

Every valid claimant gets an equal share of what’s left in the fund after administrative costs, attorneys’ fees, and service awards come out. That works out to an estimated $150 per person — but that number moves depending on how many people actually file. More filers means smaller checks for everyone; fewer filers means bigger ones.

Class Counsel will ask the court for up to one-third of the $3,750,000 fund in fees, filed with the court on September 7, 2026, plus reasonable expenses. The three class representatives will separately ask for up to $6,000 each for their time bringing the case. None of that comes out of your check directly — it comes off the top of the fund before per-person payments are calculated.

Payment goes out by check or electronic transfer, roughly 60 days after final approval if there’s no appeal. Any check issued expires 75 days after it’s sent, so don’t let it sit in a drawer. Payments here are unlikely to cross the $600 threshold that triggers a 1099, but check with a tax professional if you’re unsure.

That $150 estimate looks modest next to headline BIPA numbers you may have seen elsewhere. It’s real money for a few minutes of paperwork, but it’s not the six-figure class fund some tech settlements produce — worth knowing going in.

How to File Your HireVue BIPA Settlement Claim — Step by Step

1. Go to videointerviewbipasettlement.com/form/claim
2. If you got an email notice, log in with your Login ID and PIN. If not, use the “file without login” option instead
3. Attach a copy of your HireVue interview invitation or completion confirmation email — this is required
4. Choose how you want to be paid: check or electronic transfer
5. Certify the information is accurate and submit
6. Watch your email — the administrator may follow up if anything’s missing

Takes about 10 minutes if you already have the confirmation email saved.

You have until October 13, 2026 to file. That’s roughly six weeks from today.

Should HireVue Class Members Opt Out or Object Before September 28, 2026?

What Opting Out of the HireVue Settlement Actually Means

Opting out means you get no payment from this settlement, but you keep the right to sue HireVue separately over the same claims. Most people shouldn’t opt out without talking to a lawyer first, since it trades a guaranteed small payment for an uncertain individual case. The opt-out deadline is September 28, 2026.

How to Object to the HireVue Settlement

Objecting means you stay in the class but tell the court you disagree with some part of the deal — the amount, the fee request, or something else. Objections go to both the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois, 18 N. County Street, Waukegan, IL 60085, and to Simpluris as administrator, and must be received by September 28, 2026.

Talk to a data privacy attorney before September 28, 2026 if you’re considering either option.

HireVue BIPA Settlement — Frequently Asked Questions, No. 2026LA00000141

Do I need a lawyer to file a HireVue BIPA settlement claim?

 No. Filing a claim is free and doesn’t require a lawyer. Class Counsel at McGuire Law, P.C. represents the class at no cost to you.

Is the HireVue BIPA settlement legitimate?

 Yes. It’s a court-supervised settlement pending before the Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois, Case No. 2026LA00000141, administered by Simpluris.

When will HireVue settlement payments be sent? 

If the court grants final approval at the October 28, 2026 hearing and there’s no appeal, payments should go out within about 60 days of that final order becoming effective.

What if I missed the HireVue claim deadline?

 Claims must be submitted by October 13, 2026. Late claims can be rejected, so file as soon as you have your documentation ready rather than waiting.

Will my HireVue settlement payment go on a 1099? 

The estimated $150 payout is well under the $600 threshold that typically triggers a 1099, but confirm with a tax professional if your actual payment ends up higher.

Why does the class period end on June 25, 2026 if the technology was retired years earlier?

 That date marks when the court granted preliminary approval, not when HireVue stopped using the models at issue. HireVue says those models were phased out starting in 2020 and fully retired by February 2023.

Do I need to prove I completed a HireVue interview?

 Yes. You need to submit a copy of the interview invitation or completion confirmation email you received, whether or not you got a Login ID and PIN in the mail.
