Furthermore, by reducing recruitment workload such as schedule coordination and securing interviewers, the company seeks to optimize the selection process. Simultaneously, the AI's objective and fair evaluation will enhance the quality of recruitment interviews. By standardizing evaluation criteria and visualizing candidates' aptitudes and potential from multiple perspectives, UT Toshiba aims to identify appropriate placements where each individual's strengths can be utilized, thereby creating a recruitment environment where candidates can fully demonstrate their inherent appeal.
