We support 'April Dream,' a project that aims to make April 1st a day to share dreams. This press release is the dream of 'jinius.'
Background: Why change the way we interview now?
jinius, with our mission to 'fulfill the wishes of working people,' wants to evolve the most important decision-making process in hiring—the interview—from something relying on intuition to something based on conviction and evidence.
In many companies, interviews still depend on the interviewer's experience and values, leading to inconsistent evaluations and ambiguous judgments. As competition for talent intensifies and the importance of candidate experience grows, relying on 'intuition' creates significant opportunity losses for both companies and candidates.
Challenge: Structural problems caused by 'intuition-based' interviews
There is a trade-off: trying to evaluate carefully increases man-hours, while prioritizing efficiency lowers quality. Furthermore, when interview information is not properly organized or shared, companies often miss out on the right talent or fail to increase the candidate's interest, leading to withdrawals.
We believe the essence of these issues lies in the inability to make decisions with conviction. Therefore, we need a mechanism where everyone can make convincing decisions based on the same information by treating the 'dialogue' of an interview as data.
This philosophy is embodied in the AI co-creation recruitment platform 'yomitoki,' which is based on the concept of 'deciphering dialogue.'
jinius provides 'yomitoki,' an AI co-creation recruitment platform that uses AI to accumulate, organize, and utilize the important dialogue of interviews to improve the entire selection process.
'yomitoki' seamlessly supports the process from before to after the interview through features such as interview guides, automatic recording/transcription, AI evaluation support, and AI follow-up messages. It operates consistently throughout the process, supporting not only evaluation but also personalized approaches to candidates.
Specifically, it automatically records audio and video, transcribes content, and uses AI to support candidate evaluation based on company standards, automatically generating handover reports. It also helps create personalized follow-up and attraction messages. This reduces evaluation variance while enhancing candidate understanding and communication quality.
If the quality of interviews changes, the entire selection process changes. 'yomitoki' is not just an efficiency tool, but a foundation for 'interviews with conviction.' It improves selection accuracy, candidate experience, and reduces man-hours simultaneously.
Companies that have introduced it report higher satisfaction with hiring decisions and improved overall selection quality. For example, a mid-sized engineering staffing firm doubled its acceptance rate and improved withdrawal rates by 12 points. A mid-sized SIer reduced monthly interview man-hours by two-thirds.
We believe that what really needs to change in recruitment is not individual tasks, but the design and operation of the entire selection process. If interviews change, recruitment changes. And if recruitment changes, we believe the future of companies will change.
