What the HireVue Class Action Says
HireVue runs one-way video interviews that many employers use for first-round screening: you record answers to prompts and software processes what you submit. The lawsuit alleges that some HireVue interview models collected candidates' voice and facial biometrics in Illinois without the written disclosure and written consent required by the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act (BIPA), 740 ILCS 14.
HireVue contests the claims, denies that it collected or possessed biometrics or any other information covered by BIPA, and denies violating the law. The settlement notice states that the settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing. According to the official FAQ, HireVue says the models at issue were phased out beginning in 2020, retired entirely by February 2023, and are not part of any current HireVue product.
Case Details
The case began on January 27, 2022 in Cook County Circuit Court (No. 2022-CH-00719). HireVue removed it to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois as Deyerler, et al. v. HireVue, Inc., No. 1:22-cv-01284. After a mediation before a retired federal judge on May 27, 2025, the federal case was dismissed without prejudice on January 21, 2026.
On February 23, 2026 the plaintiffs refiled in the Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois, Case No. 2026LA00000141, before the Hon. Daniel L. Jasica. That state court is where the HireVue settlement is being approved. The official settlement website is VideoInterviewBIPASettlement.com.
Status: Preliminary Approval, Claims Open Until October 13, 2026
The final approval hearing is set for October 28, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. CT. Nothing is paid before final approval. The administrator is Simpluris. We covered the claim window in detail in our news piece: HireVue’s $3.75 million settlement estimates $150.
Don't miss the claim deadline
Claims are due by October 13, 2026. We'll email you 7 days and 1 day before the deadline.
Who Is in the HireVue Settlement Class
You are in the class if, while in Illinois, you completed a HireVue video interview that involved a model that may have collected your voice and facial biometrics between January 27, 2017 and June 25, 2026. HireVue told the parties the class has 91,305 people; its email list covers about 22,234 addresses.
Not every HireVue interview counts. The official FAQ says completing a video interview does not, by itself, make you a class member. June 25, 2026 is simply the date of preliminary approval, not a sign the technology was in use until then — HireVue says the relevant models were retired by February 2023.
If you got an email notice with a Login ID and PIN, records indicate your interview likely qualified. If you got no notice, you can still file with your interview documentation (for example, the invitation or confirmation email), and the administrator checks it against HireVue’s records. Do not contact the employer: per the FAQ, employers do not run this settlement and cannot decide eligibility.
How Much the HireVue Settlement Pays
The notice estimates $150 per valid claimant but says the exact amount is unknown and depends on how many valid claims come in. Payment is by check or electronic transfer. The FAQ expects payment within approximately 60 days after the approval becomes final; an appeal can delay that. Paper checks become void 75 days after they are issued, so cash yours promptly.

Three Things to Watch For
A settlement aimed at job seekers, with a short claim window, invites a few specific tricks:
“Recruiter” messages asking you to verify your HireVue claim
The real notice came by email from the administrator, Simpluris, with a Login ID and PIN and a link to VideoInterviewBIPASettlement.com. Type that address yourself instead of clicking. The real claim form does not ask for a fee or your bank password.
Fake job interviews collecting your ID
Job scams already imitate one-way video interviews. A “settlement” or “interview” link that asks for a Social Security number, a photo of your license or a payment is not part of this case.
Paid “claim filing” services
Filing is free and takes a few minutes on the official site. Nobody needs a cut of a $150 payment to submit it for you, and nobody can file after October 13, 2026.
HireVue Settlement — Questions People Actually Ask
Is there a HireVue settlement, and is it real?
Yes. Deyerler, et al. v. HireVue, Inc., No. 2026LA00000141 in the Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois, settled for $3.75 million. The official site is VideoInterviewBIPASettlement.com, run by the administrator Simpluris; its phone number is (833) 421-7334.
What is the HireVue claim deadline?
October 13, 2026, online or by mail postmarked by that date to HireVue BIPA Settlement, c/o Simpluris, P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799. Late claims are not paid.
How much will I get from the HireVue class action?
The estimate is about $150 per valid claim, paid in equal shares from the $3.75 million fund after fees and costs. The final figure depends on how many valid claims are filed.
I did a HireVue interview. Am I automatically included?
No. You must have been in Illinois, and the interview must have used one of the specific models at issue. HireVue says those models were retired entirely by February 2023. An interview for an Illinois job taken from another state, or a recent interview, may not qualify.
I never got a notice. Can I still file?
Yes. Without a Login ID and PIN you can still submit a claim, but you need documentation of your interview. The administrator checks eligibility against HireVue’s records.
When will HireVue settlement payments be sent?
Only after final approval. The hearing is set for October 28, 2026; the FAQ expects payment within approximately 60 days after the approval becomes final, later if there is an appeal.
Did HireVue admit it collected biometrics?
No. HireVue denies collecting or possessing biometric information covered by BIPA and denies violating the law. The settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing.
Can I still opt out or object?
No. Both deadlines were September 28, 2026 and have passed. If you did nothing, you are bound by the settlement if it is approved, so filing a claim is the only way to receive money.
Separate from this case: were you injured in the last 2 years?
Class-action payouts are fixed amounts through an administrator. A personal injury claim is a different case — and often worth far more. Free estimate, no obligation.
