[Housekeeping] AI Interview for Supporters Begins—34% Increase in Applications for Babysitters

AI Interviews Launched for Housekeeping Supporter Recruitment

Kidsline, a nationwide provider of babysitting and housekeeping services (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Taiki Fukuda), introduced AI interviews for housekeeping supporter recruitment in May 2026. Applicants can start the selection process 24/7 using a single smartphone.

Following the successful pilot in babysitter recruitment, which began in October 2025 and saw a 34% year-on-year increase in applications, the system is now being expanded to housekeeping. Kidsline aims to combine AI and human expertise to tackle labor shortages while ensuring safe and reliable service.

### Expanding Housekeeping Market and the 'Labor Shortage' Challenge

The market for housekeeping services has grown 6.2 times over the past decade, driven by increases in dual-income, single-person, and elderly households. However, the industry faces a significant challenge in securing enough personnel to meet this demand.

There is a critical need to create environments where diverse talent can easily take the first step toward a new career.

### Implementing '24/7 Registration' for Housekeeping Supporters

To address these issues, Kidsline introduced '24/7 Registration' for housekeeping supporters in May 2026, utilizing AI services provided by PeopleX, Inc.

While the AI interview uses conversational AI technology, the final hiring decision is not made by the AI, but by Kidsline's expert staff. Staff carefully review applicants' experience, skills, and personality through online assessments and practical training.

### Success in Reducing Application Hurdles

For babysitter recruitment, where the system was introduced ahead of schedule in October 2025, applications increased by 34% year-on-year. '24/7 Registration' has provided the push needed for those with limited daytime availability to apply. Furthermore, the recruitment timeline has been shortened by up to one month.

Supporters who used the system provided positive feedback, noting the convenience of being able to apply during their free time and the comfort of doing so from home.

### Commemorative Campaign

Applicants who meet the conditions and debut between May 26 and June 30, 2026, will receive a 5,000-yen debut bonus. This can be combined with a 10,000-yen referral bonus. Please visit the official website for details.
