ROXX Introduces AI Interviewer Service 'Zcareer AI Interviewer' for Works Applications' New Graduate Recruitment

ROXX Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Taro Nakashima; TSE Growth: 241A; hereinafter "ROXX") announces the launch of its recruitment support service, "Zcareer AI Interviewer," for new graduate hiring at Works Applications Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and CEO: Osamu Hata; hereinafter "WAP").

■ Background and Purpose of Introduction

WAP develops, sells, and consults on IT solutions centered around its ERP package software "HUE" for large enterprises. The company has been strengthening AI investments across the organization, not only integrating AI into its own products but also distributing generative AI tools to all employees and establishing a dedicated department for AX promotion, rapidly advancing infrastructure development.

In recruitment, the principle of "using AI to enhance productivity" has been widely adopted. WAP has valued a selection process that deeply assesses individual thinking ability and potential through candidates' approaches to challenges and communication during interviews, rather than relying solely on academic background or documents. However, with increasing application volumes, securing interviewers' schedules for individual interviews became difficult, resulting in delays that caused candidates to wait and created a dilemma of missed opportunities.

Against this backdrop, to achieve scalability while maintaining selection quality, WAP redesigned its hiring process. The company evaluated ROXX's "Zcareer AI Interviewer" for its ability to conduct interviews 24/7 and for its high-precision, in-depth follow-up questions that avoid accepting superficial answers, leading to this introduction.

■ Results and Achievements After Implementation

Since implementing "Zcareer AI Interviewer" at WAP, the company has experienced tangible results in "scaling recruitment while maintaining quality," going beyond mere improvements in productivity and selection speed.

Elimination of Bottlenecks and Maximization of Candidate Pool
By removing physical bottlenecks such as interviewer scheduling, WAP has achieved scalable recruitment that allows meaningful engagement with each candidate to uncover their potential.

Enhanced Quality of Candidate Engagement Through Recorded Data
By utilizing recorded AI interview data, the hiring team can collectively review videos and conduct multidimensional discussions when making hiring decisions, enabling deeper engagement with candidates.

Improved Quality of Dialogue from the Second Interview Onward
Based on WAP's unique evaluation criteria, the AI interviewer consistently delivers high-precision follow-up questions tailored to candidates' responses, visualizing their thought processes early in the selection process. This allows subsequent interviews to begin with more essential conversations, enhancing mutual understanding.

Achieving an AI Interview Completion Rate of Approximately 93%
The AI interview completion rate has reached a high level of approximately 93%. The convenience of being able to interview anytime and anywhere, combined with customized deep-dive questions based on the company's evaluation criteria, has fostered candidate satisfaction. The high-quality interview experience through interaction with AI contributes to maintaining candidate motivation and preventing dropouts.
