Kaonavi Adds AI-Powered Job Requirement Generation Feature

Kaonavi Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Hiroyuki Sato; hereinafter "the company") announces the launch of the 'AI Job Requirement Assistant' feature within its talent management system 'Kaonavi' on Tuesday, June 16, 2026. This new functionality, part of the 'Position Matching' module responsible for defining position requirements and identifying candidates, leverages AI to automatically generate job requirements tailored to on-site team needs.

This innovation enables teams to clearly and accurately articulate their talent needs with minimal effort, thereby promoting the use of internal job postings and facilitating talent placement aligned with real-time operational demands.

The Challenge of 'Articulating Needs' in the Workplace

Amid declining population and evolving business environments, organizations are increasingly challenged to circulate employee skills and experiences across the enterprise to build future competitiveness. One key response has been the growing adoption of internal job posting systems, which also support employees’ autonomous career development.

However, many organizations report struggles with these systems becoming mere formalities. For example, in manufacturing and other industries with large numbers of technical staff, companies often aim to pass down tacit knowledge from experienced workers to the next generation. Yet, both mentors and learners frequently lack sufficient motivation or opportunity to participate in internal postings, resulting in underutilization of the system.

This new feature addresses the root of these issues by using AI to support the articulation of desired candidate profiles and the organization of job responsibilities. By enabling teams to communicate their needs with high resolution, it promotes continuous talent circulation across the organization.

Overview of the 'AI Job Requirement Assistant' Feature

When creating a position overview, users simply select three steps for AI to automatically generate job requirements. First, they select a recruitment objective from predefined themes such as 'maintain team cohesion' or 'enhance team responsiveness.' Next, they specify a role model employee whose profile closely matches the ideal candidate. Finally, they choose the output granularity—concise, standard, or detailed. With only these inputs, users can review and refine the AI-generated content to finalize job requirements in a fraction of the time.

<Key Features>

・Starts from recruitment objectives to identify optimal requirements

Instead of selecting skills or conditions, this approach builds requirements from the team’s actual needs and goals. This eliminates common issues such as misalignment with hiring objectives or missing critical evaluation criteria right from the start.

・Combines on-site 'intuition' with AI-driven 'data'

By referencing role model employees whom the team wishes to hire, the system defines the ideal candidate profile. AI analyzes data such as the employee’s skills, strengths, and performance evaluations, transforming subjective team insights into objective, structured job requirements.

・Enables immediate job requirement creation, even without HR expertise

Since AI structurally organizes and outputs content, no specialized HR knowledge is required. This resolves the common frontline challenge of not knowing 'what to write' when drafting job descriptions.
