Illinois video-interview candidates will share a $3.75 million fund resolving claims that HireVue collected voice and facial biometrics without required consent. The deal covers people who completed a HireVue video interview in Illinois involving a model that may have collected those biometrics. BIPA, the Illinois Biometric Information Privacy Act, requires private companies to give written disclosures and get written consent before collecting biometric identifiers. According to the official court-authorized settlement site, HireVue agreed to create the $3,750,000 settlement fund to resolve those consent claims (settlement fund notice).

Who qualifies for payment?
The covered group is narrow and location-specific. According to the official court-authorized settlement site, the class includes people who, while in Illinois, completed a HireVue video interview using a model that may have collected voice and facial biometrics (eligibility details). The time window is Jan.
27, 2017 through June 25, 2026. Both endpoints matter: interviews before or after those dates fall outside the deal. Being physically in Illinois at interview time is also required.
What did the lawsuit allege?
The case is Deyerler et al. v. HireVue Inc., Case No. 2026LA00000141, pending in the Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois.
Plaintiffs said HireVue's hiring platform extracted facial geometry to assess ability and personality. The core allegation was missing paperwork, not just technology. Candidates said they did not receive BIPA written disclosures and did not provide written consent. A federal judge previously let the case proceed, rejecting the argument that facial scans used for assessment were not BIPA biometric identifiers.
How much will claimants receive?
Valid claimants are estimated to receive about $150 each as equal shares of the net fund. The final check depends on claim volume, court-approved fees, costs, and service awards.
That estimate comes from the GF Law / National Attorney Review September-October 2026 roundup (payment estimate). More valid claims means smaller individual payments; fewer claims means larger payments. No payment is guaranteed until final approval and claims processing are complete.
How do you file a claim?
File online or mail a claim to HireVue BIPA Settlement c/o Simpluris, P.O. Box 25226, Santa Ana, CA 92799 by Oct. 13, 2026. Use the address exactly as listed by the administrator. The exclusion and objection deadline was Sept.
28, 2026. Final approval is scheduled for Oct. 28, 2026 at 9 a.m. CT. HireVue denies wrongdoing, and the agreement says the settlement is not an admission of liability.
