Nihon Kanzai Holdings Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President: Shintaro Fukuda; hereinafter "the Company"), which operates building management and operation businesses for office buildings and commercial facilities, residential management and operation businesses, and real estate fund management businesses, has introduced AI interviews for promotion exams at the Company and Nihon Kanzai Co., Ltd., starting April 1, 2026.
### Background of Introduction
The Company has previously conducted essay exams as part of the promotion screening process. However, the current exam method centered on evaluating writing skills and expressions, making it difficult to fully grasp each examinee's individual aptitude and thinking patterns. Additionally, in recent years, there has been an issue of essay content becoming similar due to the distribution of various information.
### Positioning of AI Interviews
The AI interviews introduced this time use an AI interview service to measure the problem-recognition and comprehension skills required by the Company. We are utilizing it as a replacement for the essay exam, while other exam methods remain unchanged.
### Overview of Implementation
- **Service Used**: Interactive AI Interview Service "SHaiN" (Talent and Assessment Co., Ltd.)
- **Implementation Timing**: Trial introduction for some employees in September 2025; Full implementation in April 2026.
- **Target**: Promotion exams from assistant manager level to manager level.
- **Features**: Multi-faceted analysis of answers to visualize the examinee's aptitude.
### Implementation Effects and Future Utilization (Comment from HR Representative)
From the results of the trial introduction, we feel that each examinee's aptitude and characteristics are clearly shown. In the generated reports, each evaluation item was visualized as scores, ranks, and frequency rates. Furthermore, one of the benefits was the reduction in time from conducting the exam to checking the results. After full-scale implementation, we aim to further clarify evaluation criteria through the accumulation of exam results. We also hope that examinees will use the feedback reports provided after the exam as an opportunity to reflect on their own strengths and challenges.
