Russian proptech and real-estate developer Samolet Group is introducing artificial intelligence into its hiring process, the company said in a statement. The AI system will handle initial candidate assessments, conducting video interviews, analyzing responses, and evaluating qualifications. It will also generate tailored interview questions for specific vacancies.

According to Darya Verbitskaya, head of recruitment at Samolet Group, applicants can choose whether to wait for a recruiter’s call or complete an initial interview with a digital employee that is available around the clock.

“This is especially relevant for our company because we run projects across the country. Applicants in the Far East don’t have to wait for morning in Moscow — they can have a conversation right away,” Verbitskaya said.

A Digital Psychologist

The company says the product is a fully customized digital employee built on advanced technologies. It can analyze a candidate’s answers and generate follow-up questions based on those responses. The neural network is expected to be used for hiring across all roles, including management positions. The AI recruiter was developed by engineers working alongside HR specialists.

“The service uses machine-learning (ML) and natural-language processing (NLP) algorithms,” the company said. “The algorithm delivered a 100 percent conversion rate from approved candidates to profiles accepted by hiring managers. At the same time, every second candidate who passed the interview received an offer, and 89 percent of offers resulted in a hire.”

According to the developers, interview time has been reduced to 20 minutes, while positions are now filled in an average of 26 days. The company plans to expand the assistant’s capabilities to include emotion analysis and assessment of soft skills.
