● Background of the Presentation
In recent years, while the difficulty of forming candidate pools in the new graduate recruitment market has increased, a growing number of companies are facing the challenge of candidates 'attending the information session but not proceeding to the subsequent selection process.'
Traditional company briefings often stop at merely providing information and fail to sufficiently influence the candidates' decision-making process.
To address these issues, our company has been helping to improve engagement throughout the recruitment process by providing an 'explanation as an experience' optimized for each individual candidate.
Based on this expertise, this lecture will provide concrete explanations on how to design a recruitment experience that makes candidates 'want to advance in the selection process.'

● 'TALKsmith', an AI presentation tool that digitizes the recruitment experience and maximizes conversion rates
TALKsmith
TALKsmith is an AI presentation tool that realizes a 'personalized recruitment experience' optimized for each candidate by having AI take over company explanations and candidate interactions that were previously thought to be 'better handled by humans/only possible by humans'.
TALKsmith creates an environment where AI dynamically reconstructs the explanation content on the spot according to the candidate's interests and addresses core questions without hesitation. By providing a recruitment experience that 'does not keep candidates waiting, does not confuse them, and does not fatigue them,' it prevents silent drop-offs after information sessions and boosts motivation to enter the selection process.
