The Practical Application of AI: Unilever Reduced Recruitment Time by 75%

Unilever is an international company with more than 155,000 employees. Company faced a time-consuming process of recruiting talent. The recruitment process involved manually sifting through thousands of resumes and many hours spent on interviews, which was inefficient and costly.

Solution

To streamline the entire recruitment process, Unilever decided to implement AI tools. The company used the HireVue platform, which combines video interviews and AI analysis.

1. Video interviews:

Candidates were asked to answer a set of questions via video interview. During these interviews, the AI ​​analyzed not only the answers, but also non-verbal cues such as tone of voice, facial expressions and body language.

2. AI analysis

AI algorithms evaluated candidates based on various criteria such as communication skills, fit for company culture and other relevant characteristics. Based on this analysis, the AI ​​created a list of the most suitable candidates for the next round of interviews with managers.

3. Reduction of bias

By analyzing candidates based on objective data, AI has helped reduce the prejudices and biases that can influence decision-making in traditional interviews.

The Results

  • Acceleration of the recruitment process: Unilever has seen a significant acceleration of the recruitment process. The time spent on recruiting a new employee was reduced by 75%.
  • Increased efficiency: HR managers now spend less time screening candidates and can focus on qualitative interviews with selected candidates.
  • Increase in candidate quality: Using AI has increased the quality of hired candidates. By analyzing large amounts of data, algorithms are better able to identify the most suitable candidates.
  • Improving diversity: AI has helped increase diversity in recruitment by reducing human bias in the early stages of selection.
