The Interview File — HireVue, $3.75 Million, Still Proposed

Deyerler, et al. v. HireVue, Inc., Case No. 2026LA00000141, Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois. Originally filed, in the Class Action U walk, in January 2022. Preliminary approval of a $3,750,000 settlement on June 25, 2026. Class: individuals whose biometric data was captured, collected, received, stored, or processed by HireVue in Illinois between January 27, 2017, and June 25, 2026 — interviews that involved voice and facial recognition, in the Top Class Actions walk. About 91,305 applicants in that walk. Claims due October 13, 2026. Final hearing October 28, 2026. Class counsel estimate around $150 per claimant if the math holds. HireVue has not admitted wrongdoing.

I printed the settlement site name: VideoInterviewBIPASettlement.com. Odette asked if a website was a bill. I said it was a fund. She said funds that wait are stories. I said October 28 is still a date. She pumped solvent. The marker smell did what marker smell does.

BIPA, enacted 2008, in those walks: prior written notice that biometrics are being collected; specific purpose and duration in writing; written consent — a signed release.

740 ILCS 14/20 is the right-of-action chair. I am putting it in this chapter as a statute, not as a kit. A prevailing party may recover, for each violation, liquidated damages of $1,000 or actual damages, whichever is greater, against a private entity that negligently violates a provision; $5,000 or actual damages, whichever is greater, against a private entity that intentionally or recklessly violates; reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, including expert-witness fees; and other relief, including an injunction. I will not typeset a complaint. I will not tell you how to be aggrieved. I will say a statute can name a thousand and a five thousand, and that a proposed $3.75 million fund is a later settlement kitchen, and that a grocery line will try to spend 14/20 as if it were the fund. It is not the fund. It is a chair. The fund is still proposed. The sitting is still October 28.

Rosenbach v. Six Flags Entertainment Corp., in the walks that bother with a cousin, is an Illinois Supreme Court holding that a person can be aggrieved under BIPA without alleging an actual injury beyond violation of the Act's rights. I will keep that as a different caption. I will not freeze Six Flags as this interview. I will say a holding can share a statute with a later fund and still be a different kitchen. I will not invent Tansy into Rosenbach. I will not invent Tansy into Deyerler.

There is a limitations cousin. Tims v. Black Horse Carriers, Inc., in the walks that bother with a clock: the Illinois Supreme Court held that the five-year catchall in section 13-205 of the Code of Civil Procedure controls BIPA claims. I will keep five years as a cousin's clock. I will not freeze it as the HireVue class period. I will not freeze it as Clearview's Illinois government ban. Three fives. Three kitchens. A grocery line will try to add them. I will not add them. I will say a statute can share a five with a settlement window and a consent-order timeout and still be three files.

Rudd wrote Tims / 13-205 / 5yr catchall / cousin ≠ 2017-2026 class / cousin ≠ 5yr IL gov ban and boxed cousin. He punched a flyer that had used the word deadline. He said deadlines are for buses. I said this deadline is a holding in a different caption. He dated the pad.

Odette asked if five years was a stain that lasted. I said it was three clocks that happen to use the same number. She said numbers are for milk. I said this number is a catchall in one kitchen and a ban in another and a class window in a third. She wiped the seven. I did not write 5 on the board next to the 7. Writing two numbers on a whiteboard is how a hall becomes a statute I will not run.

Tansy is not in Tims. She is not in Rosenbach. She is not in Deyerler. She sat a camera. She paid for the coffee. I paid for the water. Water is not a limitations period.

I will not give you a clock you can file. I will tell you 14/20 is a chair, that Rosenbach is a different caption, that Tims is a five-year cousin, that P.A. 103-769 is an August 2, 2024, single-recovery walk, and that the $3.75 million sitting is still proposed. The agent is still a later room if you are still in this one. The file is still this one.

P.A. 103-769, effective August 2, 2024, in the walks that bother with a later amendment: repeated collections of the same biometric from the same person by the same method can be a single violation of 15(b) for which the person is entitled to at most one recovery, and a similar single-recovery rule for 15(d) disclosures to the same recipient. I am putting August 2, 2024, next to the 2008 chair so a grocery line cannot buy one recovery as a disappearance of the statute. An amendment can limit a count. A limitation is a public. A public is not a kit I will typeset as a how-to-count. The written-release definition, in that same amendment weather, includes an electronic signature. I will keep electronic as a later noun. I will not freeze a click as a finding that a diner signed.

Odette asked if a thousand was a wage. I said it was a liquidated chair in a statute. She said chairs are for people. I said this chair is 14/20. She wiped the seven. I did not write 1000 on the board. Writing a liquidated number on a whiteboard is a kit.

Rudd wrote $1k negligent / $5k intentional-reckless / 14/20 / Rosenbach cousin / P.A. 103-769 Aug 2 2024 single recovery walk / not the $3.75M and boxed not the fund. He punched a coupon that had used the word collect. He said collect is a brochure. I said collect is a verb in a class definition I will not typeset again.

The complaint said applicants never gave express consent and were never provided the required disclosures. I will not invent Tansy's disclosure screen. I will say a statute can name a signed release, and that a platform can name a convenience, and that both can share an interview.

A HireVue motion to dismiss based on the Illinois Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act was denied, in a walk I will keep as a walk and not freeze as a docket I held in my hand for that motion. I will say a later Illinois statute about video interviews is a different kitchen from BIPA, and that a denial is a door, and that a door is not a verdict.

Rudd wrote $3.75M / proposed / 91,305 / ~$150 / Oct 28 2026 and boxed proposed. He said proposed is how clients sleep. I said proposed is how museums keep a sitting. He punched a flyer.

Tansy sat in front of a camera in a year I will not use as a trailer. She was not in Illinois. I am putting that sentence here so a grocery line cannot make her a class member I invented. She is the counterpart. The class is Illinois. Two kitchens. One convenience.

I sat, while I still had a badge, in a meeting whose title was interview hygiene. Someone said we should "make it frictionless." I said we should not make a face a file we had not disclosed. Legal said we should take face offline. We shipped a dashboard. I left the badge on a hook that was not a strategy. A hook is honest. A hygiene meeting is a brochure I have already sat.

I will not give you an interview you can steal. I will tell you the caption happened, that $3.75 million is still proposed at the last step I walked, that ~$150 is an estimate, and that a signed release is a BIPA chair Tansy's kitchen did not have. The next room is an agent. The file is this one.

The Caption That Has Three Names

Kristen Deyerler, John Coleman, and William Phemister, in the preliminary-approval paper I walked, are the named plaintiffs.

The caption, in a Class Action walk that bothers with a filed date, began January 27, 2022. I already walked January 2022 as a weather. I am putting the twenty-seventh on the sideboard so a grocery line cannot call the year a vibe. A filing can have a day. A day can be a public. A public is not a finding that I sat in Lake County with a stamp. Four years later, June 25, 2026, is preliminary approval. I will not freeze the gap as a personality. I will say a caption can take a gap, and that a gap is a calendar, and that a calendar is not a novel about why a sitting waited.

The Illinois Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act is still a different kitchen from BIPA.

I am giving the later statute its number so a grocery line cannot call it a vibe. 820 ILCS 42/1 et seq. AIVIA, in the rooms that abbreviate. Enacted as a later Illinois chair about video interviews that use artificial intelligence. BIPA is 740 ILCS 14/1, 2008, a signed release, a retention policy, a destruction clock. Two numbers. One interview. I will not typeset AIVIA as a how-to. I will say a later statute can share a face with an earlier statute and still be a second file.

There is a federal cousin. I am putting it in this chapter so a grocery line cannot spend Lake County as if it were the only caption Deyerler ever sat in. Deyerler v. HireVue, Northern District of Illinois, 1:22-cv-01284, in the walk I held. February 26, 2024: a published decision granting in part and denying in part a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint. I will keep published as a walk. I will not freeze 1:22-cv-01284 as the 2026LA00000141 sitting. Two captions. One set of named weather. A federal door and a later state settlement kitchen. I will not add them into a novel that says the fund is a federal stamp.

HireVue argued, in that February opinion, that AIVIA precluded the BIPA claims because the later statute more specifically regulates AI analysis of applicant videos, and that where two statutes conflict the more specific controls. The court said the argument assumed conflicting obligations instead of concurrent ones. Nothing in AIVIA, in that opinion's walk, indicated the legislature intended to repeal or preempt BIPA or to limit BIPA's private right of action. Different consent, retention, and disclosure obligations did not compel the conclusion that the statutes were entirely inconsistent. The AIVIA-preclusion motion was denied. I am putting concurrent on the sideboard so a grocery line cannot buy a later statute as an eraser. Concurrent is a word a court used. Concurrent is not a finding that every shop complied with both. Concurrent is two chairs in one room.

The same February opinion rejected the argument that facial scans are not "biometric identifiers" because they are not used to affirmatively identify specific individuals. The statute includes facial geometry, in that walk, and the allegation that HireVue used facial-expression and screening technology to identify and assess candidates by collecting facial geometry was enough to survive the motion. I will keep allegation. I will keep survive. I will not upgrade geometry to a finding I sat with a ruler. A statute can name a geometry. A complaint can name a screening. A motion can lose that chair.

HireVue succeeded, in that same opinion, on BIPA section 15(c) — the chair about selling or profiting from biometric identifiers. The court agreed that the sale of software does not equate to the sale of biometric identifiers, in that walk. Claims under 15(a), 15(b), and 15(d) proceeded. I am putting 15(c) in a box that says DISMISSED so a grocery line cannot spend every subsection as if it sat down. Some chairs left. The ones that left stay left. I will not un-dismiss a profit chair to make a later fund look hungrier.

February 26, 2024, is also the day Judge Kelley B. Hodge entered the Rite Aid stipulated order in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. I am putting that coincidence on the sideboard as a calendar, not as a plot. Two captions. One date. A drugstore stamp and an interview motion. I will not add them. I will not freeze a shared Tuesday as a design. A day can hold two publics. A public is not a thriller.

Rudd wrote 820 ILCS 42 / AIVIA / 1:22-cv-01284 / Feb 26 2024 / concurrent not preclusion / 15(c) out / 15(a)(b)(d) sat / ≠ Lake County sitting / same day as Hodge and boxed concurrent. He punched a flyer that had used the word preempt. He said preempt is a brochure until a court writes it. I said this court wrote concurrent. He dated the pad.

Tansy asked whether "concurrent" meant her camera had two statutes. I said I would not invent her state. She is not Illinois. She is not 1:22-cv-01284. She is not 2026LA00000141. She sat a HireVue-style interview. She paid for the coffee. I paid for the pie. Pie is not a subsection.

Cole asked whether "15(c)" meant "they can still sell the software." I said sell is a polo word that wants a villain. He said then why dismiss. I said dismiss is a chair about profiting from identifiers, in that walk, and software is a different noun. He wrote a five. I took a six. I did not enjoy it.

I will say it again because a grocery line will try to spend two statutes as one chair. BIPA is 2008 and a signed release. The Video Interview Act is a later Illinois statute about video interviews. A motion that used the later statute as a dismissal tool was denied, in a walk I will not freeze as a docket number I held for that motion. A denial is a door. A door is not a verdict. Two statutes can share an interview and still be two files.

Tansy is not in the January 27 kitchen. She is not Illinois. I am saying it again because a filed date is a magnet for amateurs who want a class member they can point at in a booth. She sat a camera. She is the counterpart. The class is a list of verbs in Illinois. Two kitchens.

For settlement purposes only, they are appointed class representatives. For settlement purposes only, class counsel are appointed in that same order. I will not invent their Tuesdays. I will say three names can share a $3.75 million fund, and that for settlement purposes only is a costume a grocery line will try to take off, and that I will leave the costume on.

Hon. Daniel L. Jasica, Circuit Court of Lake County, Illinois. Final approval hearing October 28, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. Central Time, in the walks that bother with a clock. Notice to be completed by July 30, 2026. Reminder notice August 31, 2026. Fee and expense application September 7, 2026. Objection and exclusion deadline September 28, 2026. Claim forms October 13, 2026. Final approval submission October 19, 2026. I am putting the calendar in this chapter so a grocery line cannot call October 28 a vibe. A 9:00 a.m. is a sitting. A sitting is still proposed until a stamp I have not held as final.

The long notice I walked says this is a court-authorized notice of a proposed class action settlement, not a solicitation from a lawyer, and not notice of a lawsuit against you. You may be entitled to a cash payment if, while in Illinois, you completed an interview through HireVue's video interview platform that involved a model that may have collected your "voice and facial biometrics" between January 27, 2017, and June 25, 2026. May have collected. I am leaving the quotes. May is a modal. A modal is how museums keep a door.

Class definition in the proposed preliminary-approval order: all individuals whose biometric data was captured, collected, received through trade, obtained, possessed, stored, purchased, sold, leased, traded, profited from, and/or disseminated, disclosed, or redisclosed by HireVue, Inc. within the state of Illinois from January 27, 2017, through June 25, 2026. The list is a statute's cousin. I will not typeset it as a kit. I will say a class can be a list of verbs, and that a list of verbs is a public, and that Tansy is not on it because she was not in Illinois.

VideoInterviewBIPASettlement.com. Login ID and PIN, in a walk of administrator email notices to people HireVue's records identified as likely class members. I will not invent a login. I will say a PIN can be a public in a notice walk, and that a PIN is not a check.

Rudd wrote Deyerler Coleman Phemister / Jasica / 9:00 CT Oct 28 / may have collected / proposed and boxed may. He punched a flyer that had used the word guaranteed. He said guaranteed is a brochure. I said guaranteed is not in the notice I held.

The Other Illinois Statute I Will Not Freeze as a Docket

A HireVue motion to dismiss based on the Illinois Artificial Intelligence Video Interview Act was denied, in a walk I will keep as a walk and not freeze as a docket number I held in my hand for that motion. The Video Interview Act is a later Illinois statute about video interviews. BIPA is 2008 and a signed release. Two statutes. One interview. A denial is a door. A door is not a verdict. I am putting the second statute in this chapter so a grocery line cannot call BIPA the only chair Illinois bought. Illinois bought more than one chair. The fund is still BIPA weather. The denial is a cousin I will not upgrade.

Opal sells envelopes in a box that still has a count. I bought a pack I did not need because a claim form, in a kitchen that is not Tansy's, still wants a paper if you are the kind of person who does not trust a PIN. She asked if I was mailing a bill. I said I was dating a sitting. She said sittings are for portraits. I said this sitting is October 28. She dated the receipt. Counts are honest. PINs are a walk.

Tansy asked whether "the three names" meant she should look for a fourth. I said I would not be her Rudd. She said then the book is not useful. I said useful is a gift shop. She paid for the coffee. I did not make her Illinois.

The Estimate I Will Not Freeze as a Check

About 91,305 applicants in one walk. Class counsel estimate around $150 per claimant if the math holds, after administrative expenses, attorneys' fees, and service awards come out of the $3,750,000. HireVue has not admitted wrongdoing. The company agreed to establish the fund to avoid the rising financial burden, time, and trials, in the Class Action U weather I will keep as weather. I will not freeze 91,305 as a census I counted. I will not freeze $150 as a check I mailed. I will say an estimate can share a website with a proposed, and that a proposed can share a 9:00 a.m. with a judge's name, and that a denial of wrongdoing is a mouth I will keep next to the fund.

Odette asked if $150 was a wage. I said it was an estimate. She said estimates are for painters. I said this estimate is a class walk. She wiped the seven. I did not write 150 on the board. Writing 150 on the board is a kit.

Cole asked whether "the interview thing" meant "HR stopped using cameras." I said stopped is a polo word. He said then why $3.75 million. I said $3.75 million is proposed. He took a cart.

I sat in Rudd's kitchen while he fed a reminder-notice date to the punch. August 31, 2026, is a reminder. A reminder is not a final. The cough was the only honest sound. Polly put the tin back. She did not ask if I was converted.

Britt sells soap in a paper wrapper that still has a string. I bought a bar I did not need because a diner still wants a clean hand after a pie that has given up, and a pie is how I pay Tansy without becoming her Rudd. She asked if I was bathing. I said I was dating a claim deadline. She said deadlines are for buses. I said this deadline is October 13. She dated the receipt. Strings are honest. Claims are a sitting.

I will not give you an interview you can steal. I will tell you three names happened, that Jasica is 9:00 a.m. Central on October 28, 2026, that may have collected is the notice's modal, that a second Illinois statute sat in a motion I will not freeze, that 91,305 and ~$150 are walks, and that Tansy is still not the class. The agent is still the next room. The file is still this one.
