About
Stephane is the CEO at HiringBranch. He’s on a global mission to improve employee performance using skills-based hiring assessments and training.
Inspired by big data and AI, Stephane leads a team of AI researchers and behavioralists. In partnership with valued customers, they have proven that hiring for skills reduces attrition and improves business outcomes.
Whatever a company’s objectives are - be it improving customer experience, retention, or revenue - it’s their people who are the vehicle to get there. It starts with hiring the right people.
Stephane sees first-hand the dramatic impact of AI-skills-based hiring:
- Contact centers reduce attrition by over 18 %
- Online retailers getting under 1% bad hires
- Outbound sales teams increasing revenue by 15%
As of December 2023, Stephane has led and grown the company without venture funding. With Stephane’s strategic direction, the AI platform has evolved to assess any combination of 30 soft skills and service over 500,000 candidates for 500 recruiters.
