HeadHunter Virtual recruiter

2019: Integration with internal to the systems of clients

On October 1, 2019 the HeadHunter company announced the appeared opportunities of Virtual Recruiter service for the companies with the needs for mass personnel recruitment. Now service can be integrated with internal to the systems of clients in whom recruiting processes are performed.

We improved functionality of "The virtual recruiter" for providing a full integration with automation systems of processes of clients. It can be the systems of any level, such as Skillaz, Talantix, and own systems of clients and even system of the third parties provided that certain requirements are observed. At the same time such integration takes only several days, told Boris Wolfson

"The virtual recruiter" defines suitable audience by artificial intelligence technologies and makes candidate screen by phone, through chats and a video interview. And later announces interlocutors result: refuses or invites to a conversation with the "living" recruiter. Unlike mailing on all base, messages come to candidates who with high probability would respond to a vacancy. Besides, "The virtual recruiter" considers whether the summary, probably whether it for the employer is active, whether the applicant permitted to send it letters. Thanks to it conversion of messages in responses, and negative effect which bulk mailings or call-downs usually have increases becomes less.

One of pluses of use of AI for selection of employees is that he undertakes the lion share of routine work — is engaged in preliminary elimination of applicants on the basis of initial requirements, experience and so on. The popularity of recruiting automation is explained recently by it, especially at mass selection. For October 1, 2019 there is an impression that, for example, chat-bots well cope. But at the same time, of course, it is impossible to expect that AI itself as a result will select the necessary candidate. At the last stage the human intelligence is surely necessary, noted Richard Mosley, the global vice president of Universum for strategy

2018: Start of service

On July 10, 2018 the HeadHunter company announced start of Virtual Recruiter service. According to developers for July, already 100 virtual recruiters of HeadHunter work Russia, 24/7 across all territory, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

"The virtual recruiter" defines suitable audience by artificial intelligence technologies and makes candidate screen by phone, through chats and a video interview. And later reports announces interlocutors result: refuses or invites to a conversation with the "living" recruiter.

Our purpose — to make service which will increase efficiency of hiring due to more exact selection of correct candidates and due to acceleration of contact with target candidates, but not due to increase in a flow. For example, now the large companies have the following situation: to them hundreds of thousands of candidates a month come, however process of hiring from it does not accelerate. Our task — to help the companies to sort this flow through services of automation. Marina Hadina, director of the department of HR automation of HeadHunter

Technological services of automation of HR processes — one of strategic priorities of the company. Only in 2018 the company is going to spend 60 million rubles for development of "The virtual recruiter". A system will solve two global problems: will increase a flow of candidates and will accelerate preliminary selection.

According to forecasts of the company, in the near future not only employers, but also applicants for search of a suitable vacancy will resort to the help of virtual recruiters. Process of recruitment will be most automated on both sides.
