Osaka Shinkin Bank Adopts PeopleX's Conversational AI Interview Service

PeopleX Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Daichi Tachibana), a company solving HR challenges through AI, announced that Osaka Shinkin Bank (Location: Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture; Chairman: Kazuyoshi Takai) has adopted its conversational AI interview service, 'PeopleX AI Interview.' Osaka Shinkin Bank, known as the 'home doctor of this town,' contributes to regional development. Seeking talent with high ethical standards and a sense of mission, the bank introduced AI interviews for first-round new graduate recruitment to eliminate scheduling conflicts and increase the number of applicants. The service was chosen for its flexibility in creating questions, detailed settings for deep-dive inquiries, and high-quality candidate experience. By using this service, the bank aims to reduce variations in evaluation criteria among interviewers and streamline the interview process. Furthermore, the content from the first AI interview will be used to strengthen communication in subsequent rounds, allowing for a more accurate assessment of each student's character. Ryo Tanigashira, Deputy Manager at Osaka Shinkin Bank, commented, 'We introduced AI interviews to improve fairness and efficiency in recruitment and to enhance convenience for students. AI interviews allow us to evaluate students' responses and communication skills from a multi-faceted perspective based on consistent standards, leading to fairer selection. However, final evaluations are still conducted responsibly by HR staff, and our policy of valuing 'people' as a regional financial institution remains unchanged.' 'PeopleX AI Interview' allows candidates to be interviewed anytime, anywhere, 24/7, reducing workload for companies while increasing convenience for applicants. It offers advanced selection design, including deep-dive questions using generative AI and question settings tailored to specific job roles.
