23 May 2024: Recruitment-tech startup PossoBuild has unveiled its two flagship tools, PossoBuild SmartHire and PossoBuild SmartPrep, aiming to revolutionize the traditional job interview process. Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI), these tools enhance human capabilities and are set to transform talent acquisition, recruitment, and job interview preparation across India and beyond. With state-of-the-art natural language processing and machine learning algorithms at their core, SmartHire and SmartPrep are poised to redefine the future of recruitment.
Innovative Tools for Modern Recruitment
Optimized for both mobile and web-based usage, PossoBuild SmartHire and SmartPrep are designed as essential tools for today’s organizations and job-seekers. SmartHire introduces AI-led automation to aid organizations in hiring talent faster, more effectively, and at scale, significantly improving the traditional, manual shortlisting and interviewing processes. It enables organizations to conduct and evaluate unbiased virtual interviews with AI, enhancing convenience and productivity.
Meanwhile, SmartPrep assists job-seekers, particularly students, with adaptive and conversational-style mock interviews simulated through AI. This platform helps candidates present the best version of themselves in real interviews, providing comprehensive feedback post-interview to refine their approach.
First-of-its-Kind Conversational AI Interviewing System
Both tools feature PossoBuild’s intelligent conversational AI interviewer agent, ‘Sia,’ which goes beyond predefined questionnaires to engage candidates in dynamic, human-like conversations that adapt in real-time based on their responses. This technology addresses the inefficiencies of traditional hiring processes, such as high costs, time consumption, and inherent human biases, by providing a consistent, efficient, and unbiased interviewing experience.
Leadership Speaks
At the launch event, Kalyan Jata, Founder & CEO of PossoBuild Technologies, highlighted the significance of hiring the right talent for organizational success. With over two decades of experience in technology and innovation at esteemed organizations like GE and Microsoft, Jata emphasized, “SmartHire’s ability to conduct AI-simulated human-like interviews and deliver accurate hiring recommendations will be a game changer in recruitment. SmartPrep, on the other hand, will help students ace their job interviews with tech-enabled mock practice and feedback. We aim to empower organizations to solve their recruitment challenges comprehensively and build high-performing teams to drive business growth.”
Uma Nelluri, Co-Founder & CTO, an IIT-Madras alumna, added, “With PossoBuild SmartHire, you’re getting a human-friendly interview experience enhanced by AI. The data insights provided by SmartHire enable better decision-making, ensuring candidates are matched perfectly to job requirements. SmartPrep offers lifelike mock video interviews tailored to specific job descriptions, preparing candidates optimally for real-world scenarios.”
Addressing Recruitment Challenges
PossoBuild SmartHire addresses various challenges such as high interview logistics costs, ineffective shortlisting, incorrect selections, inherent biases, and the inability to scale interviews in response to application volumes. It offers benefits including AI-enabled, on-demand video interviews at scale, efficient shortlisting, insightful post-interview evaluations (including technical skills assessment), and ensures unbiased hiring to promote diversity.
Successful Beta Testing and Customer Feedback
PossoBuild has beta-tested SmartHire with organizations across India, the US, and other countries, receiving encouraging feedback and demonstrating promising results. Canada-based e-commerce company Evenica is one such beneficiary. Sadek Ali, CEO of Evenica, remarked, “PossoBuild SmartHire has transformed our recruitment process, allowing us to conduct scalable interviews efficiently and meet our industry’s dynamic demands without compromising on hire quality. We’ve optimized our interviewing process, significantly enhanced hiring speed, and improved overall candidate quality.”
