Veritone HR Solutions delivers powerful suite of AI-enabled recruitment solutions to enhance operational efficiency, automation and data-driven hiring decisions for employers



DENVER –– June 14, 2023 –– Veritone, Inc. (NASDAQ: VERI) (“Veritone” or the “Company”), a leader in enterprise AI software and services, today announced it has closed the acquisition of Broadbean, a global leader of software as a service (SaaS) technology that makes talent acquisition and engagement more efficient, from CareerBuilder.



The close of the acquisition is expected to significantly strengthen Veritone's AI-driven human resources solutions suite, building on the Company’s previous acquisition of PandoLogic. With Broadbean’s distribution software, extensive network and robust data set integrated with Veritone’s programmatic and conversational AI technology, Veritone HR Solutions will deliver the benefits of advanced recruitment marketing technologies to customers worldwide. Integrating programmatic capabilities into Broadbean’s distribution platform will allow employers of all sizes to benefit from job distribution at the individual job level, save time on posting their jobs to individual publishers and pilot these capabilities on a smaller scale.



Total consideration paid was $52 million in cash on a cash and debt-free basis, subject to certain adjustments in the purchase agreement. Before synergies, the acquisition is expected to be immediately additive to Veritone’s operations and, on a standalone basis, is expected to generate SaaS and GAAP revenues of over $35 million on an annualized basis, of which approximately $30 million is subscription-based with attractive margins.



“The Broadbean acquisition accelerates Veritone’s mission to disrupt and modernize attractive market verticals -- including the global talent acquisition and staffing technology and services market, which is forecasted to be $196 billion by 2028[1] -- by leveraging AI-based automation, optimization and intelligence at global scale,” said Ryan Steelberg, President and Chief Executive Officer of Veritone. “The lifeblood of AI is data. The combination of Broadbean’s data set of over 5 billion job advertising performance data points from its installed base of over 3,000 customers and 100 ATS partners and Veritone’s AI-enabled recruitment technology solutions, positions Veritone to further enhance recruitment insights for customers and scale AI-driven enhancements across its business.”



George LaRocque, market analyst and founder of WorkTech, commented, “This acquisition is further evidence of what we’re seeing in the market as organizations seek to leverage the possibilities of AI.”



Steelberg added, “As we take advantage of Broadbean's extensive integrations, we envision many exciting attribution and down-funnel opportunities that we will continue to investigate, invest in and ultimately bring to market.”

This phenomenon is known as algorithm aversion, and is often attributed to an inherent mistrust in machines. However, systematically overriding an algorithm may not necessarily stem from algorithm aversion. This new research shows that the very context in which a human decision maker works can also prevent the decision maker from learning whether a machine produces better decisions.

These findings come from research by Francis de Véricourt and Huseyin Gurkan, both professors of management science at ESMT Berlin. The researchers wanted to determine under which conditions a human decision maker, supervising a machine making critical decisions, could properly assess whether the machine produces better recommendations. To do so, the researchers set up an analytical model where a human decision maker supervised a machine tasked with important decisions, such as whether to perform a biopsy on a patient. The human decision maker then made the best choice based on the information they received from the machine for each task.

The researchers found that if a human decision maker heeded the machine’s recommendation and it proved correct, the human would trust the machine more. But the human sometimes did not observe whether the machine’s recommendation was correct – this happened, for instance, when the human decision maker decided not to take follow-up actions. In this case, there was no change in trust and no lessons learned for the human decision maker. This interaction between the human’s decision and the human’s assessment of the machine creates biased learning. Hence, over time, they might not learn how to effectively use machines.

These findings clearly show that it is not always an inherent mistrust against the machines that means humans override algorithmic decisions, but over time, this biased learning can be reinforced by consistent overriding, which might result in incorrectly and ineffectively using machines in decision making.

“Often, we see a tendency for humans to override algorithms, which can be typically attributed to an intrinsic mistrust of machine-based predictions,” says Prof. de Véricourt. “This bias, however, may not be the sole reason for inappropriately and systematically overriding an algorithm. It may also be the case that we are simply not learning how to effectively use machines correctly, when our learning is based solely on the correctness of the machine’s predictions.”

These findings show that trust in a machine’s decision making ability is key to ensuring that we effectively learn how to utilise them, and that the accuracy of their usage also improves.

“Our research shows that there is clearly lack of opportunities for human decision makers to learn from a machine’s intelligence unless they account for its advice continually,” says Prof. Gurkan. “We need to adopt ways of complete learning with the machines constantly, not just selectively.”

The researchers say that these findings shed light on the importance of collaboration between humans and machines and guides us on when (and when not) to trust machines. By studying such situations, we can learn when it is best to listen to the machine and when it is better to make our own decisions. The framework set out by the researchers can help humans to better leverage machines in decision making.

Dr Paola Zappa, lecturer in Organisational Behaviour and HR management at UCL GBSH, and Dr Tatiana Andreeva, Associate Professor at Maynooth University School of Business, investigated the influence of gender on knowledge hiding.

Participants – UK based workers employed in a variety of industries – answered questions about their demographics, work attitudes, and knowledge hiding behaviours, focusing on three types: evasive hiding (providing incorrect or incomplete information), playing dumb (pretending not to know the answer), and rationalised hiding (admitting to concealing knowledge but sometimes with a genuine reason, e.g., privacy or confidentiality reasons).

The findings suggest men feel more entitled than women to conceal their knowledge: they hide it more often than women, specifically through rationalised hiding, while women use evasive hiding and playing dumb. Men also conceal knowledge more frequently in a female-dominated environment and are more likely to use the same methods as women, since they believe that women will sanction them less than men for this behaviour.

Although intentionally withholding knowledge from colleagues can be damaging for individuals and organisations, this behaviour may be an attempt to cope with work conflict, psychological stress, or to gain a competitive advantage over colleagues.

“Rationalised hiding does not necessarily involve deception, and leads to lower turnover intentions and higher job satisfaction. Therefore, men are likely to benefit more, as they protect their knowledge by selecting the most inconsequential or safest way to do so,” explains Dr Zappa.

For women, openly admitting to not sharing knowledge may be perceived as going against the social expectation of being caring and helpful and may lead to negative responses from colleagues. Dr Zappa continues, “By pretending not to know the answer to a colleague’s request, women might reinforce the gender stereotype of not being competent, harming their reputation within the company”.

Managers should counteract gendered stereotypes around competence and decrease social pressure on female employees to avoid rationalised hiding. This can be done by acknowledging the expertise of female employees and the value of their knowledge.

These findings were first published in Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology.

(June 14, 2023 – Bonn, Germany) Today SER reveals that, according to Forrester Consulting, global drive technology leader SEW-EURODRIVE achieved a 336% return on investment and savings totaling more than €17 million over three years by automating document management and processes with SER’s AI-powered platform, Doxis.

These findings were part of ‘The Total Economic Impact™ Of SER Doxis Intelligent Content Automation’, a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting in June 2023 on behalf of SER.

Based on information provided by SEW-EURODRIVE, Forrester built a 3-year financial model that found that by deploying Doxis, the organization achieved a 336% ROI and benefited from:

• increased productivity and improved regulatory compliance through streamlined document management and collaboration,
• 90% time savings, flexibility and improved employee experience through process automation,
• better data insights and higher productivity through artificial intelligence, and
• headcount cost avoidance and reduced IT complexity due to consolidated legacy systems and automation.

SEW-EURODRIVE is a leading manufacturer of drive and automation technology. With a workforce of more than 21,000 working in 54 countries, SEW-EURODRIVE reported an annual revenue of €4.2 billion in 2022. The company has rolled out approximately 80 to 90 applications for AI-powered document management, collaboration and workflow automation. These solutions have helped SEW-EURODRIVE to overcome key challenges such as delivery downtime, regulatory compliance, manual processes and effort, collaboration across globally distributed teams, and poor data quality. Today, Doxis handles a total of 22 TB of data in nearly 313 million documents, with an annual document growth of approximately 30 million to 35 million.

“With Doxis, we are able to handle documents in a really structured way, which has a big impact on quality,” said the Group Manager of Archiving & Documenting Services of SEW-EURODRIVE when asked about the impact of Doxis on daily work. They continued: "The search in Doxis is ridiculously fast. The [platform searches] 50 to 60 years of history in our case, and the results will still pop up in milliseconds.”

Dr. John Bates, CEO of SER, comments, “We’re delighted that our long-term partnership with SEW-EURODRIVE has shown such a significant ROI in this Forrester Consulting study. At SER we strive for every customer to benefit from a ‘Return on Information’. With this independently analyzed ROI, together with Doxis receiving the highest score in the current offering category in The Forrester Wave™: Content Platforms, Q1 2023*, we’re excited to continue helping customers worldwide to modernize their information management.”

The Forrester TEI study provides decision-makers with a framework to understand the potential financial impact of Doxis on their organizations. The framework also evaluates factors such as costs, benefits, flexibility and risks to build a financial model for how SEW-EURODRIVE's deployment would translate into a three-year model for other organizations.

Birgit Schyns, Distinguished Professor of People and Organisations at NEOMA, co-authored a study analysing survey data on 450 employees at UK-based firms.

According to the researchers, when working from home, employees can feel that they have less autonomy and are under constant surveillance if monitored too frequently. These feelings can be exacerbated if managers’ behaviour is unpredictable, they say.

“Day-to-day monitoring leaves remote workers wondering why their managers are making such frequent demands, which may leave them questioning their own ability and putting themselves down. At the end of the day, some employees feel physically and intellectually exhausted” says Professor Schyns.

The researchers recommend managers establish clear guidelines for checking on employees’ progress. Once communicated, these guidelines must be observed, they add.

The impact of remote management is so important that the authors recommend that business leaders should also tackle the issue. This role includes providing managers with guidance about their conduct and defining appropriate benchmarks for managerial behaviour.

EDW group, comprising of TEAM Energy and EDW Technology, is a market leader in delivering carbon management and energy retail solutions, helping customers manage their energy and reduce carbon emissions.

As part of the group’s own comprehensive carbon reduction strategy, they have set out to become net zero by 2030 supported by achieving carbon neutrality this year. The business also manages its environmental performance following an ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.

EDW’s carbon neutral status is underpinned by a plan to reduce its emissions along a 1.5°C trajectory, based on best practice energy management for the business type and energy efficiency and technology projects. Initiatives include removing barriers for employees to reduce their own emissions associated with commuting and homeworking, a large part of the company’s Scope 3 emissions.

To help mitigate the impact of their business emissions as they work towards their 2030 goal, the company decided to invest in verified carbon offsetting schemes sourced from the voluntary carbon market.

The projects were selected from the Gold Standard Voluntary Emissions Reductions (VER) programme to ensure the carbon credits are independently verified and stand up to scrutiny.

The aim was to offset 100% of the carbon emissions associated with the group’s operations. The chosen projects align with the businesses’ values to support energy efficiency and sustainable tech innovation and include a domestic energy efficiency project in Rwanda, a wind power project in Rajasthan, a biomass power project in Chhattisgarh, India, and an energy and biodiversity restoration project in Honduras. Collectively EDW’s investment into these projects has helped save 333 tonnes of CO2 emissions from being released into the atmosphere, equivalent to the groups carbon emissions over the previous financial year.

Timothy Holman, Head of Operations and net zero strategy lead at TEAM Energy commented:

“As a consultancy business helping other companies start their net zero journey and reach their sustainability goals, we wanted to lead by example; Investing in carbon offsetting projects enables us to do as much as possible while we accelerate our own plans to be net zero by 2030.

“For our carbon offsetting plan to work successfully, we carefully analysed, calculated and reported on our own Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions to build a picture of what our long-term carbon reduction strategy will look like and to forecast all emissions associated with the business.

“Our chosen projects not only help to reduce carbon emissions but also have a positive impact in different ways that support the UN Sustainable Development Goals. That they are VER to the highest standard ensures they are really making a difference.”

Simon Miles, CEO of EDW Group, added:

"We are thrilled to share our commitment to net zero by becoming a carbon-neutral company.

“As a business with experts helping other businesses make positive and sustainable change and as an Employee Ownership Trust with colleagues who are passionate about protecting the environment, we recognise our duty to mitigate climate change.

“By reducing our carbon footprint and investing in sustainable initiatives, we hope to inspire other companies to follow our lead and join us in creating a better, more sustainable future."

EDW Group's carbon neutral status is a significant milestone in its sustainability journey and reflects its dedication to responsible business practices. It remains focused on building a sustainable future by driving down scope emissions through plans that include a green procurement policy, a transition to renewable electricity, net zero IT services, strategies to reduce water consumption and wastewater treatment, initiatives to reduce employee commuting emissions and electric vehicle charging.
