## Background and Purpose
Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2024. Since its founding as Japan's first trust company based on the Trust Act, it has been tackling social issues based on the fiduciary spirit of trust. Looking toward the next 100 years, the company has set a purpose to 'Open up the entrusted future' and aims to continue being an entity that 'creates new value through the power of trust and makes the prosperous future of clients and society bloom'.
Under the new HR system launched in October 2025, the company emphasizes a 'relationship of choosing and being chosen' where employees and the company build an equal relationship and elevate each other. They support the autonomous career development of every employee and promote creating an environment where diverse human resources can 'challenge' themselves and thrive based on their own 'will' and 'skills' regardless of gender, age, or background.
Under this recruitment policy that supports individual 'will' and 'challenge', the company decided to introduce VARIETAS' 'AI Interviewer'. This service provides not only 'fair selection opportunities' uninfluenced by constraints of place and time or demographic attributes, but also visualizes the potential and 'will' of each individual, which tended to be overlooked in conventional screenings, through AI-driven 'multi-angle evaluation'. We will support the construction of a recruitment process that maximizes the potential of diverse 'individuals' within the company.
## Features of 'AI Interviewer'

As a solution to embody such an HR strategy, VARIETAS' 'AI Interviewer' provides the following functions and value.
Ensuring Fairness
By providing an environment where exams can be taken 24 hours a day, the 'AI Interviewer' realizes a system where students proactively engaged in studies, research, or club activities can participate in selection at their own timing without being restricted by scheduling conflicts. This allows for building a recruitment process that offers fair opportunities to motivated, diverse 'individuals' regardless of time constraints, uncovering their potential.
Improving Candidate Satisfaction
In our system, applicants can proceed with the interview at their own pace. Test takers have provided positive feedback such as 'I was able to speak calmly' and 'It was easier to convey my true self'...
