Horizontal Line, headquartered in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has risen to this challenge by unveiling its innovative AI recruitment assistant, YORISAI, which officially launches on February 2, 2026.

Challenges in Recruitment

Recruiters today face a myriad of challenges rooted in a shrinking talent pool and increasing hiring difficulties. Key pain points include:
- Difficulty in improving offer acceptance rates and reducing turnover.
- A tendency to focus on numerical metrics without achieving in-depth analytical insights.
- Lengthy processing times for applicant materials.
- Inefficient communication with candidates.
- Inconsistent evaluation criteria among interviewers.

YORISAI leverages artificial intelligence to address these hurdles. Its capabilities allow for immediate responses, uniform evaluation criteria, and improved applicant experiences.

Key Features of YORISAI

Transforming Recruitment Processes

1. Application Document Analysis
YORISAI interprets application documents according to company-specific evaluation criteria. It generates summaries and quantifies data while extracting pertinent questions for interviews that previously consumed extensive time. Recruiters can now eliminate the tedious process of reading through piles of applications on weekends, freeing up their schedules for more pressing tasks.

2. Interview Voice Analysis
It offers a remarkable feature wherein notes and post-interview evaluation sheets are rendered unnecessary. YORISAI converts entire conversations into structured data, simplifying cultural fit and skill assessments into easily digestible reports. Once an interview concludes, assessment reports are generated for internal sharing, saving recruiters from the mental burden of recalling details later.

3. Personalized Communication
YORISAI dispenses with generic templated emails, opting instead for personalized communications based on interview discussions and unique candidate attributes. This level of customized interaction fosters a more engaging experience for applicants and mitigates potential losses from using standard email templates.

Background and Growth Potential

As the problem of labor shortages continues to escalate in Japan, streamlining recruitment processes emerges as a crucial factor for enhancing corporate competitiveness. Traditional hiring methods often rely heavily on manual efforts and subjective judgment, leading to inefficiencies. Continuous use of YORISAI not only yields quantitative metrics such as application counts but also accumulates qualitative information over time.

After a year, YORISAI will evolve into an invaluable ally for companies, having adapted to their specific hiring needs. By utilizing this stored knowledge, it will propose tailored recruitment strategies, overall staffing plans, and more.

Implementation Success Stories

In a recent case involving a mid-sized firm, the introduction of YORISAI's beta version led to a remarkable 60% reduction in document screening efforts. Response times for candidate inquiries dropped from an average of two hours to under 30 minutes, resulting in a 1.4-fold increase in hiring success rates compared to prior periods, illustrating the tool's efficacy.

Future Developments

Looking ahead, there are exciting plans to support global recruitment with multi-language capabilities and enhanced features for automatic interview scheduling.
