Inditex<\/strong>, Pepsi<\/strong>, L’Or\u00e9al<\/strong> and Ikea<\/strong> are some of the employers that have benefited from this robot recruiter. What is Robot Vera exactly and how is\u00a0<\/b>it\u00a0revolutionising the HR world? Read on to find out more!<\/p>\n

About Stafory and the creators of Robot Vera<\/h2>\n

Stafory<\/a>\u00a0was founded in 2013 by two young developpers,\u00a0Vladimir\u00a0Sveshnikov<\/a> (28) and Alexander Uraksin<\/a>\u00a0(29). It offers specialised online recruitment services and connects HR Agencies with employers in Russia.<\/p>\n

\"\"The\u00a0Robot\u00a0Vera Project<\/strong><\/a> (Vera means faith in Russian) was born in 2016<\/strong> after\u00a0the founders of Stafory found themselves spending too much time trying to reach and follow up on candidates. They felt like robots themselves and decided to create an automated solution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It has now become an\u00a0award-winning StartUp<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that works with more than 300 companies around the globe.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe felt like robots ourselves, so we figured it was better to automate the task<\/em>\u201d, says Alexander Uraksin<\/p>\n

How Robot Vera works<\/h2>\n

It is very simple. Recruiters send a detailed job description with the requirements, skills and experience needed for the vacancy as well as a list of interview questions.<\/p>\n

Vera<\/strong>\u00a0receives this information and starts her search for the ideal candidate.\u00a0She scans<\/strong> through CVs<\/strong> from the 5 different job sites, makes a selection of the most suitable candidates<\/strong>, sends them the job decription and calls\/interviews<\/strong> them. Vera does not make the last decision but schedules a final interview with the employer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The founders claim Vera is 10 times faster than humans and that it can help employers reduce recruitment costs by 50% <\/strong>as all of this is done within 3 hours.<\/p>\n

With\u00a0voice-recognition software<\/strong> and more than 13 billion words,\u00a0<\/strong>this robot recruiter can\u00a0interact with humans<\/strong> naturally and is currently being programmed to recognise certain emotions<\/strong> (anger, disappointment and excitement).<\/p>\n

Compared to other artificial intelligence (AI) solutions<\/strong> (such as Mya and\u00a0Woo’s<\/a>\u00a0AI head hunter), Vera<\/strong> is the only one able to interview\u00a0hundreds of candidates simultaneously<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The future of Robot Vera<\/h2>\n

Robot Vera<\/strong> is unique<\/strong> in its kind and offers multiple advantages<\/strong> to companies worldwide hiring at a big scale. It can complete thousands of phone calls simultaneously, in different time zones and 24\/7<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After great success in Russia<\/strong> with reknown corporates such as IKEA<\/strong>, Pepsico<\/strong>, Castorama<\/strong>, Raiffeisen Bank<\/strong><\/a> and\u00a0Coca-Cola<\/strong>, Vera<\/strong> is ready to reach out to the rest of the world. It was\u00a0 launched in the US last spring but the tests done showed the robot needed developments and new functionalities.<\/p>\n

The Stafory Team has just launched the Alpha-version <\/strong>with\u00a0better English and improved functionalities. It is aiming to do a test launch in China<\/strong> in June 2018<\/strong> and in at least one European country<\/strong> in September<\/strong> 2018<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Stafory plans to continue to improve Vera by adding new functionalities<\/strong> and adapting her interview style<\/strong> to different job descriptions. In addition, the Stafory Team aims to make her sound as human as possible within 2 years time<\/p>\n
