'First Steps with AI Scout: AI Recruitment for HR in 30 Minutes' (Authored by Kentaro Iida)
This book is a practical introductory guide for HR and recruitment managers considering the adoption of 'AI Scout,' a tool that automates recruitment scout operations.
In recent years, with the spread of direct recruiting, the importance of recruitment scout operations has increased. On the other hand, challenges such as excessive workload and variability in results have become apparent, drawing attention to the efficiency of scout operations using AI.
This book concisely summarizes key points such as 'What is AI Scout?', 'What tasks are automated?', and 'How to implement it?' so that readers can understand the overall picture in 30 minutes. Based on Mr. Iida's 20 years of experience in recruitment and scout operations, the book explains the division of roles between AI and humans, practical operational considerations in the field, and concrete steps for implementation.
■ Introduction (Excerpt from 'Preface')
With the spread of direct recruiting, the need for automating recruitment scout sending has increased. Simultaneously, the AI scout market is rapidly growing and is now becoming an essential infrastructure for new graduate and mid-career recruitment in all industries.
As the representative of a recruiting agency, I have been involved in the recruitment industry for over 20 years. Based on that experience, I developed the AI scout tool 'Scoutable,' which has been introduced to over 500 companies as of May 2026.
From vast data and years of observing the scout field, I arrived at a cruel truth: 'As long as humans manually conduct scouting, they cannot beat AI in speed or accuracy.'
By introducing AI Scout, scout operations will effectively become zero after an initial 60-minute setup.
Even while you are conducting interviews, after work, and including weekends, from early morning to late at night, AI will continue to catch trends in the job market, send the best messages to the optimal candidates at the perfect timing. Such 'autonomous recruiting' has now become a reality.
Let's open the door to AI Scout implementation from the next page.
*A special reader offer of a '1-month free trial of Scoutable' is available.
