Works ID Co., Ltd. and Linkway Co., Ltd. Strategically Collaborate to Jointly Develop AI Interview System "AI Interview Plus"

Background of Collaboration

Recently, the competition for talent among companies has been intensifying due to labor shortages. A survey targeting 100 major companies revealed that approximately 30% of companies have introduced AI into their recruitment activities (Jiji Press survey, March 2025), and the global AI recruitment interview support tool market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 30.6% to reach 6.4 billion USD by 2030.

Meanwhile, on the ground, prioritizing speed often reduces the time spent engaging with individual candidates, leading to a serious "trade-off between quantity and quality in recruitment" that results in post-hiring mismatches.

To address this issue, since its establishment in 2022, our company (Linkway) has accumulated generative AI technology and product knowledge in the recruitment domain through the development and operation of AI services. This collaboration with Works ID Co., Ltd., which has over 20 years of experience in the HR domain, combines our AI technological capabilities with their operational know-how in recruitment, establishing a system that can realize recruitment transformation from both technological and practical perspectives.

Comments from Company Representatives

Shinsuke Kuraoka, Senior Executive Officer, Works ID Co., Ltd. What our company has consistently valued is "people." AI evaluates speaking tendencies and inclinations, objectively extracting candidates' strengths, but this is not for the sake of efficiency alone. Rather, it's the opposite: by having AI organize quantitative information, interviewers can secure more time to carefully engage with each job seeker. Maximizing human judgment while achieving efficiency with AI. This synergy is the new selection experience we offer.

Raiku Imamicji, Representative Director, Linkway Co., Ltd. Through the development of AI interview services, our company has been working to expand the possibilities of recruitment through technology. We are very pleased to have collaborated with Works ID, which has over 20 years of experience in the HR domain, to jointly develop "AI Interview Plus," combining our generative AI technology with their on-site recruitment know-how. By having AI handle objective quantitative analysis, we create "leeway" for recruitment personnel to focus on the personalities and values of individual candidates. We will deliver this philosophy of "maximizing time to see people" to Japanese recruitment sites together with Works ID.
