ABOUT LAURA JANE FERGUSON
I’m a product leader with a PhD in Industrial/Organizational Psychology and a passion for building assessment technology that scales — for candidates, clients, and internal teams alike.At Hirevue, I’ve transformed the way assessments are built and delivered. I led the development of a product now responsible for 60% of the company’s core product value, used by millions of candidates annually. What once took 6 people and 6 weeks can now be done by 3 people in a week, saving the company over $600K/year and unlocking massive efficiency across Product, I/O, and Engineering teams.My tools have enabled Fortune 100 companies to reduce time-to-hire, improve quality of hire, and scale smarter — contributing to $150M+ in hiring-related ROI. Along the way, my products helped secure multiple acquisitions and positioned our platform as the go-forward solution in a highly complex tech consolidation effort.With a background in psychometrics, Agile product delivery, and cross-functional collaboration, I bridge science and strategy to design tools that are not only evidence-based, but business-critical.Let’s build better hiring systems — faster, fairer, and smarter.
