Talview, a leading talent assessment technology platform, on Tuesday announced its collaboration with Microsoft to push frontiers in application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in recruitment, with the launch of Qton, a Talent Assistant Chatbot.
The chatbot, built on top of Microsoft's Bot Framework & Luis NLP aims to make a significant impact in recruitment automation by improving the hiring process and enhancing the experience for the candidates.
Commenting on the development, Talview Chief Executive Officer Sanjoe Jose said he is delighted to partner with Microsoft that aims to enable better merging of digital expertise and human interaction, thereby enhances the recruitment experience for candidates and clients alike.
"Talview Chatbot technology adds tremendous value to the recruiting process and cements our rapidly growing leadership role in the industry," said Jose.
The key benefits of signing-up with Talview are that the bot allows for a major reduction in man-hours spent early in the recruitment funnel. Moreover, it identifies and fast-tracks only the best candidates to the next phase of the recruitment process. The bot also helps create an impact on employer marketing and messaging which assists in connecting the candidate to the company's brand immediately.
The platform helps candidates by providing convenience and a superior experience as they do not have to take a day off or spend time travelling to a recruiter's location for preliminary interviews. It also improves the quality of hiring significantly, by enabling companies to conduct a more holistic evaluation of potential candidates. Thus, helping in filling vacancies faster and reducing the recruitment costs considerably.
Talview's platform uses artificial intelligence and cloud services to harness the power of advanced data science and machine learning algorithms to help client expedite hiring and reduce turnaround time. It also uses video analyses, social-media analyses and speech recognition to enable companies build better teams and gain a competitive edge.
Microsoft India Partner Ecosystem General Manager Rajiv Sodhi said at Microsoft, the company's mission is to empower every organisation and individual to achieve more.
"Leveraging the power of Azure and the Microsoft bot platform, Qton from Talview will help organisations source, engage, screen and select quality talent more quickly. We are happy to partner with Talview and provide solutions to drive productivity and efficiency in the HR world," said Sodhi.
Talview, in partnership with Microsoft, also built Proview, an intelligent remote proctoring tool, which implements 18 different automated checks within the video, audio, and screen feed of candidates, to promote, improve, and change the course of e-learning, recruitment assessments, and higher education.
