"Human as Driver, AI as Navigator" - Monitor Recruitment Begins for Interview Support AI 'Conavia Recruit'

Introducing a new category of AI: "Interview Support AI," which assists human interviewers *during* the interview, unlike AI interviewers (which directly interact with and evaluate candidates) or post-analysis AI (which reviews after the interview). Rhodium Inc. (Headquarters: Tokyo) is launching a monitor recruitment for its interview support AI, 'Conavia Recruit,' targeting recruitment agencies.

Why Aren't Top Interviewers' Techniques Becoming the Organizational "Standard"?

The quality of recruitment interviews varies greatly, often referred to as "interviewer gacha" (random chance), yet this variation is rarely accumulated by the organization. The judgment developed by top interviewers – "what to ask," "how to probe deeper" – is lost when they transfer or leave, as the blueprint exists only in their minds.

Conavia Recruit was developed to address these two challenges: "variation in interview quality" and "tacit knowledge not becoming organizational assets."

A New Category: "Interview Support AI"

There are broadly three ways to incorporate AI into interviews:

AI Interviewer (Replacement Type): Candidates directly interact with AI, which then evaluates them.

Post-Analysis AI (Review Type): Interviews are recorded and transcribed, with feedback provided afterward.

Interview Support AI (Support Type): AI assists the human interviewer *during* the interview.

Conavia Recruit falls into the third category, "Interview Support AI." While the candidate is treated as a human throughout, only the interviewer discreetly receives information from the AI about "missed questions" or "points to ask next." Humans drive (speak and make decisions), while the AI merely shows the route – the metaphor of an "interview car navigation system" is the closest image.

Three classifications of interview AI (Conavia Recruit is 3 Interview Support AI)

Key Features of Conavia Recruit

"Design" the interview beforehand: Prepare key points to ask and goals to confirm as templates before the interview. This design forms the foundation for points 2 and 4.

Visualize interview progress in real-time: Analyze the conversation during the interview in real-time to constantly track "asked/not asked" for the designed questions.

Subtly suggest points to ask next: Based on the candidate's answers, display points to probe deeper or missed items only to the interviewer. Nothing is displayed on the screen visible to the candidate.

Automatically generate an "Interview Execution Report" after the interview: Visualizes the extent to which the interview design was executed. It does not perform evaluations or pass/fail judgments, serving as material for reflecting on the interview process itself.

No pass/fail judgments: The system does not evaluate or score candidates; judgments are solely made by the human interviewer.

Simulation Video with Fictional Scenarios

You can see a demonstration of hint displays for "next steps" and the movement of sub-goal achievement.

Setting Goals and Sub-goals

Use Cases We Envision

When less experienced career advisors want to deepen candidate understanding with the same accuracy as veterans.

When the content of questions varies by interviewer, and the quality of candidate understanding depends on the individual.

When points missed during an interview are discovered later, requiring reconfirmation with the candidate.

About Monitor Recruitment

Conavia Recruit is currently recruiting monitors for free among a limited number of companies, targeting recruitment agency professionals. We aim to refine the product by having monitors use it in actual consultations and interviews and provide feedback. If you are interested, please contact us at the inquiry details below.

Future Outlook

Initially, starting with recruitment agencies specializing in the IT field, we will verify the effectiveness in actual interview settings through monitors. After verification, we plan to offer the service in a form that more people can use, while expanding the target domains. We aim to realize the vision of "making top interviewers' techniques the organizational standard."
