Realized a reduction in lead time from application to interview from 3.5 days to approximately 1 to 1.5 days

About half chose AI interviews in an applicant-selectable screening flow
By constructing a flow where applicants themselves can choose between an interpersonal interview and an AI interview, a user-first screening experience was realized. Approximately half of the applicants selected the AI interview, leading to the optimization of hiring costs such as the reduction of interview workload.
Interview workload decreased by 50%, building an environment to reduce site burden and focus on core tasks
The workload of interviews, which previously required about 30 minutes or more per applicant, was drastically shortened to about 15 minutes. It dramatically reduced the operational burden on site managers during peak seasons, creating an environment where they can focus on core tasks such as pre-joining follow-ups and customer service.
Realized fair and objective evaluation based on data, and improvement and standardization of hiring quality
Through objective scoring based on a unified standard by AI, the variation in screening criteria that occurred at each base or by each person in charge was eliminated. Fair and high-quality hiring screening became possible anywhere nationwide.
