SAIRAI Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Mizuki Hirai), a provider of AI services in the HR domain, announces the expansion of the free trial for the beta version of its AI recruitment platform "Tasonal"'s scheduling AI agent. This includes an increase in the monthly adjustment limit for the free plan from the usual 5 cases to 30 cases, available for 3 months. Additionally, a "1-month free trial" is now available for paid plans (Starter, Standard, MAX). We encourage you to take this opportunity to try it out.

Interview scheduling for recruitment is a significant burden on recruiters, involving back-and-forth communication as an "intermediary" between candidates and interviewers, compounded by the need for follow-ups and rescheduling when no slots are available. Furthermore, the longer the scheduling takes, the more likely it is that excellent candidates will be lost to competitors.

Tasonal's scheduling AI agent automates date matching, supporting text input from candidates. When interviewers are unavailable, it directly negotiates with them via Slack to create new slots. This achieves scheduling without the recruiter acting as an intermediary, creating a recruitment experience that doesn't keep candidates waiting.

Background: Structural Challenges in Interview Scheduling As competition in the job market intensifies, interview scheduling has become more than just administrative work; it's a bottleneck that impacts recruitment outcomes. Many recruiters face the following challenges daily: ・Becoming an "intermediary" between candidates and interviewers Confirming candidate's preferred dates, checking interviewer's calendar, finding available slots, and proposing them to the candidate. This back-and-forth process for each candidate consumes a significant amount of the recruiter's time for scheduling tasks.

・Reaching a standstill when interviewers are unavailable When no available slots are found in the calendar, recruiters have no choice but to chase interviewers one by one via Slack or email, asking individually, "Can you make time for this?" This process of chasing, coordinating, and rescheduling is the most burdensome part of scheduling.

・Delays in scheduling directly lead to candidate drop-off The longer scheduling takes, the more likely candidates are to move on to other companies. Especially for top talent, who are often in parallel processes with multiple companies, the speed of confirmation directly correlates with the candidate resignation rate.

Why Tasonal's Scheduling AI Agent is Superior Existing URL-based scheduling tools offer a mechanism for candidates to choose from available slots. While effective when slots are available, the biggest burden in recruitment often arises precisely when there are no available slots. Furthermore, candidates don't always book via a URL. It's common for them to send messages like "I prefer Tuesday or Thursday afternoon next week," which then requires manual matching with the interviewer's calendar. Tasonal covers these "areas not adequately addressed by existing tools." It supports text input from candidates and, even when no slots are available, directly negotiates with interviewers to create them. Tasonal automates the entire process from scheduling "reception" to "confirmation."

3 Key Features of Tasonal Scheduling AI Agent Feature 1: Supports Both Candidate Text Input and URL Booking Candidates communicate their preferred dates in various ways. Some send booking URLs, while many others text, such as "I prefer Tuesday or Thursday afternoon next week." Tasonal supports both URL-based scheduling and text-based scheduling. Simply paste the candidate's text into Tasonal, and the AI will automatically interpret the preferred dates, match them with the interviewer's calendar, and select the optimal slot. With ATS integration, the entire process from candidate application to schedule confirmation can be automated without recruiter intervention. Feature 2: AI Directly Negotiates with Interviewers via Slack to Create Slots, Even When None Are Available Tasonal's key differentiator is its automatic slot creation when interviewers are unavailable. If no suitable slots are found in the interviewer's calendar for the candidate's preferences, Tasonal's AI agent automatically executes the following process: ・Analyzes the interviewer's calendar to identify movable appointments (e.g., internal meetings).

・Sends a direct message to the interviewer on Slack, asking, "Could you move this appointment to secure an interview slot?" with specific suggestions.

・Once the interviewer approves via Slack, the slot is secured, and confirmation notification is automatically sent to the candidate.

Recruiters do not need to intervene at all in this entire scheduling process. The AI handles the high-burden tasks of chasing interviewers, confirming responses, and coordinating. Feature 3: End-to-End Management from Confirmation Notifications to Rescheduling and Dashboard Overview Tasonal continues to provide automated support even after the schedule is confirmed: ・Automatic Confirmation Notifications: Sends confirmation emails to both candidates and interviewers. Automatically registers the event in Google Calendar and generates meeting URLs for Zoom/Google Meet/Teams.

・Rescheduling Support: If the candidate's or interviewer's availability changes, the AI automatically handles rescheduling.

・Dashboard: Provides an at-a-glance overview of the scheduling status for all candidates. Highlights only cases requiring action.

Why Tasonal Can Deliver This Value ・AI Interpretation Engine for Reading Intent from Text The AI interprets natural language date expressions like "Tuesday or Thursday next week" or "anytime except the end of the month" and converts them into specific date and time options. It automatically matches these with the interviewer's calendar, eliminating the need for recruiters to manually decipher and re-enter candidate input, regardless of how they communicate.

・Analysis Engine Capable of "Reading" Interviewer Calendars It goes beyond simply finding empty slots; it analyzes the type of existing appointments and their movability. The AI makes judgments like "This recurring meeting can be shifted by 30 minutes" or "The whole day is blocked, but the morning is available," allowing for specific proposals to interviewers, thus increasing the approval rate of requests.

・Direct Communication with Interviewers via Slack Integration Requests are sent via direct messages on Slack, where interviewers regularly work, ensuring they don't get lost like emails. Interviewers can respond instantly with "Yes/No" buttons, minimizing their burden. Recruiters no longer need to intervene and chase for responses.

・Design Focused on a Single Flow from Reception to Confirmation The entire process—from receiving scheduling requests, calendar matching, proposing to interviewers, sending confirmation notifications, issuing web conference URLs, to handling rescheduling—is designed as a single, integrated flow. It minimizes points where human intervention is required, while still incorporating essential human judgment, such as interviewer approval. This design balances automation with human decision-making.

Future Outlook Based on feedback from the beta version, SAIRAI aims to release the official version of the scheduling AI agent and realize a future where AI orchestrates the entire recruitment process. "The moment an application is received, AI screens the documents, and then automatically adjusts the interview schedule for qualified candidates." This entire flow will be completed with just the recruiter's approval. Creating an environment where recruitment teams are freed from administrative tasks and can focus on candidate interaction and recruitment strategy design.

This is the vision of "Recruitment Operations AI" that Tasonal aims to achieve.

Tasonal already offers three features: scheduling, AI scouting, and AI document screening. By further deepening the integration of these features, we will evolve into a platform that supports the entire recruitment process end-to-end. *This content includes items under development/conceptualization, and provision timing and specifications are subject to change.
