Background of Implementation

Sanyu Store is headquartered in Kitaibaraki City, Ibaraki Prefecture, and operates approximately 15 food supermarkets within the prefecture.

Previously, for the recruitment of part-time and casual staff, interview schedules were arranged individually after application acceptance, and selection was conducted face-to-face. However, the following challenges existed:

- During interview schedule coordination, candidates would withdraw or drop out due to scheduling conflicts.

- The time spent on individual correspondence and interviews for each applicant became a burden for head office staff.

To resolve these issues, Sanyu Store has decided to implement "AI Baito Mensetsu."

Expected Effects of Implementing "AI Baito Mensetsu"

- Streamlining Recruitment Operations By replacing the initial interviews handled individually by head office staff with AI interviews, the workload for head office staff is reduced. Applicants can also take interviews at their preferred times, including outside of business hours, preventing dropouts due to scheduling conflicts.

- Handling a Wide Range of Applicants, Including Seniors "AI Baito Mensetsu" has demonstrated a high interview completion rate of 89.8% even among seniors, indicating stable operation is expected for supermarket recruitment, which often receives many applications from seniors.

- Objective Assessment of Suitability for Customer Service The AI analyzes qualitative factors such as applicant personality, communication skills, and EQ (Emotional Intelligence) from their responses during the AI interview. This allows for an understanding of suitability for customer service, which is difficult to gauge from resumes alone, from the early stages of selection.

Reasons for Choosing "AI Baito Mensetsu"

1. Company-Original AI Interviewer Avatar Custom avatars are generated based on the company president, store manager, or actual recruitment staff. This provides candidates with an interview experience where they feel they are facing a person, while significantly reducing the workload for recruitment staff.

2. Tailored Evaluation Design Question content and evaluation items can be freely set according to job type, store, and recruitment policy. This allows for the direct reflection of the company's own hiring standards into the AI interview.

3. Scoring of Qualitative Information The AI scores qualitative information, such as facial expressions, speaking style, and impressions, which were previously only discernible through in-person interviews. This assists interviewers in their evaluations and helps to reduce variability in assessment.

4. Dictionary Registration of Company-Specific Words Supports company-specific terminology and proper nouns. This prevents misrecognition and unnatural reading, maintaining a smooth interview experience.
