Innovative AI Matching Agent 'Rakuriku AI' Launched by Omluc and Willverse to Transform Recruitment

Introduction

Omluc Co., Ltd. and Willverse Co., Ltd. have announced the launch of 'Rakuriku AI', an innovative automatic job matching AI agent aimed at recruitment agencies. This service comes at a crucial time when the labor market faces challenges due to Japan's declining youth population and increasing senior demographic, presenting a significant need for effective recruitment solutions.

Background

In recent years, labor shortages have escalated with the job-to-applicant ratio exceeding 1.2, particularly in professional industries where it can reach over 3.0. This scenario has intensified competition among recruitment agencies. As more agencies enter the market, delivering high-quality job proposals becomes increasingly vital for differentiation.
The growing number of job seekers assigned to each career advisor has raised the urgency to promptly propose fitting job opportunities, while still enhancing proposal quality. Therefore, addressing the challenge of effectively tapping into job seekers' hidden potential skills and aptitudes is central to maintaining a competitive edge in the job market.

About Rakuriku AI

'Rakuriku AI' leverages advanced AI to automatically discover and score job matches based on applicants' resumes, work history, and interview logs with career advisors. Utilizing proprietary technology, the AI analyzes resume texts to identify candidates' skills, experiences, and career aspirations. It then filters through thousands of job listings to extract the most relevant ones.

Key Features of Rakuriku AI

One of the standout features of this solution is its ability to replicate the hiring selection process of top-performing career advisors within the system. By using a sophisticated two-stage filter process of employing generated AI for keyword identification followed by LLM (Large Language Model) search, 'Rakuriku AI' enables any organization member to match the quality of veteran advisors.

Efficiency Improvement

1. Reduces Job Selection Time by Two-Thirds
Rakuriku AI automates the job selection process significantly, cutting down the time previously spent by advisors. A typical job selection that would usually take around 30 minutes per candidate can now be condensed to about 10 minutes. Consequently, this frees up time for more critical responsibilities like stakeholder communication and follow-ups.

2. Elevated Proposal Quality for New Advisors
By incorporating top performers' selection methodologies into the AI algorithms, 'Rakuriku AI' provides an objective job-matching capability that does not depend solely on experience. This means that even new advisors can offer high-quality job proposals, boosting conversion rates and enhancing overall organizational performance.

3. Seamless Integration with APIs
'Rakuriku AI' integrates with existing HR management systems and job databases through APIs, ensuring a fluid experience. The entire process is streamlined from inputting candidates' information to generating interview preparation materials, eliminating cumbersome operations across multiple systems. This intuitive interface allows career advisors to experience expedited operations while focusing more on candidate engagement.

Comments from Key Stakeholders

Takahiro Kishida, CEO of Omluc, emphasized the priority placed on replicating 'human intuition' and 'implicit knowledge' specific to recruitment in the development of 'Rakuriku AI'. He mentioned the aim of achieving comparable pairing precision and speed to that of human advisors by dissecting the essence of the expert hiring process and melding it with a language model and proprietary scoring techniques.

Yohei Ogawa from Willverse noted their struggle with balancing selection speed and quality in their recruitment business, which led to the creation of 'Rakuriku AI'. This solution enables efficiency in job selection while empowering advisors to focus on tasks that require human insight.

Conclusion

'Rakuriku AI' represents a leap forward in the recruitment industry, leveraging cutting-edge AI technology to enhance matching accuracy and improve efficiency, paving the way for a more dynamic and effective hiring landscape.
