HRmax Launches Multilingual AI Interview Services for Job Applicants

AI Interview Service "HRmax" Expands to English and Chinese

In response to the increasing demand for multilingual support in recruitment, DYM HumanReality, a subsidiary of DYM Corporation, has announced that its AI interview service, HRmax, will be available in English and Chinese starting July 28, 2026. This enhancement aims to facilitate initial screening of candidates from foreign backgrounds by allowing them to participate in interviews in their native languages. This move is designed to alleviate the burden on both job seekers and employers, given the growing presence of foreign talent in Japan.

As of the end of October 2025, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare reported a historic surge in the number of foreign workers in Japan, reaching 2.57 million—an increase of over 260,000 from the previous year. This trend shows that foreign workers now constitute 52% of the overall workforce growth in Japan. The demographic of foreign workers has also become more diverse, with individuals hailing from countries like Indonesia, Myanmar, and Nepal, in addition to the previously dominant Vietnamese workers.

Despite this diversity, many companies struggle to navigate the language barrier during the hiring process. Recruiting multilingual interviewers or arranging interpreters can be both costly and time-consuming, often leading to the loss of potentially valuable candidates. The “language barrier” remains a significant challenge across various industries, regardless of company size.

Features of HRmax Multilingual Interview Service

With the addition of English and Chinese, HRmax offers several advantageous features:
1. Native Language Interviews: Candidates preferring interviews in English or Chinese will be able to do so via AI.
2. Cost and Time Savings: The need for interpreters or multilingual interviewers is eliminated, reducing hiring effort and expense.
3. Consistent Evaluation Criteria: Scoring is performed under the same standards as Japanese interviews, mitigating discrepancies in candidate assessments due to language differences.
4. 24/7 Availability: Interviews can be conducted at any time and from any location, allowing for the inclusion of overseas candidates.
5. Automated Reporting: Interview content will be automatically compiled into Japanese reports, enabling recruiters who may not be proficient in foreign languages to participate in the selection process.

Statements from DYM Leadership

Sosuke Sasaki, CEO of DYM HumanReality, commented, "The Japanese labor market has reached a point where it cannot function without foreign personnel. However, many deserving candidates have been overlooked simply due to language differences. HRmax aims to transform hiring from a subjective practice based on experience to a fair, AI-driven process. This multilingual capability is the first step toward that vision."

Future Developments

DYM HumanReality plans to broaden the range of supported languages and enhance features to meet the needs of an increasingly diverse recruitment landscape. They will leverage insights from their multifaceted operations in talent, healthcare, and web services to strengthen their service offerings for both internal and external partners, ultimately contributing to the future of recruitment.
