Interviewer.AI
|
Interviewer.AI is a Singapore-based, VC-backed audiovisual assessment platform. We help companies use scientifically-proven, structured interview techniques to shortlist candidates by automating their first round of interviews. Using a short video interview, we add soft skills that are so obvious in an interview but hard to express in a CV.Unstructured questioning techniques during screening rounds fail to accurately assess soft skills or understand candidate weaknesses, relying more on intuition and interviewer's gut instincts. Interviewer.AI solves it by smartly structured questionnaires designed by experts to accurately assess culture & value fit, job fit. It not only aims to remove conscious and unconscious bias, racial, age-related, or gender discrimination; it also helps save a ton of time, so that Hiring Managers can focus their energies on quality candidates and hire the best talent. Interviewer.AI doesn't do anything magical. It uses all the parameters that human recruiters use for screening candidates and consistently applies them to thousands of candidates in a matter of seconds, saving a ton of their time and effort. Further, with machine learning, the accuracy of sorting candidates only gets better as the platform learns about the culture, values, and past candidate shortlisting decisions within a company over time. | $652K / Seed / Aug 15, 2019 | |
