Next-Gen Casual Interviews After AI Interviews! New System Conveys Company Culture Through Dialogue with Official Character

Mogic Inc. (Headquarters: Nerima-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Yoichi Yamane; hereinafter 'Mogic') announces the release of 'Won-jual Mendan,' a casual interview system that utilizes an official character to alleviate the psychological burden applicants feel during AI interviews.

This time, as a demo trial, we are replacing Mogic's casual interviews, allowing applicants to get a feel for the company's atmosphere by having a relaxed chat with the 3D official character 'Wonjima-san,' and finally providing an aptitude assessment defined by Mogic.

Background: The Psychological Burden of AI Interviews and the Demand for Casualness

In recent years, an increasing number of companies have been introducing AI interviews for efficient recruitment screening. However, there are not a few voices from applicants saying, 'It feels empty talking to a screen by myself,' or 'I get tired feeling like I'm being monitored by AI.'

We believed it was more important to effectively convey the company's atmosphere rather than giving applicants a mechanical impression, so we implemented a casual atmosphere as a system. Based on the casual interviews Mogic has conducted so far, we have adopted an even more relaxed communication style.

Mogic's Official Character: Wonjima-san

An official character that embodies Mogic's style of getting closer to the essence in a relaxed manner. The name 'Wonjima-san' is a portmanteau of the animal 'wombat' and the name of the PR manager. His personality is calm, yet he is always scared of something and in a fluster. His catchphrase is 'I want to drown in a sea of chocolate,' and he is a gourmand who loves all kinds of snacks.
