Finding the Best Talent: A Russian Forestry Leader Turns AI Into an HR Manager

Simpler and More Detailed Job Posts

Sveza’s AI recruitment bot is already being used by the company’s HR specialists. As one of Russia’s leading forestry and wood‑processing groups, Sveza manufactures plywood, paper‑based materials, packaging solutions, and AI‑driven innovations for industries around the world.

With constant demand for skilled workers, the company built and calibrated its own in‑house tool, adapting the model to corporate language, production roles, and candidate expectations.

Writing a single job post now takes only a few seconds—down from roughly 20 minutes.

A Personalized Approach at Scale

The digital assistant chooses precise wording and optimizes structure based on HR‑provided data. It accounts for differences among factory workers, office staff, young specialists, and internal candidates.

“We aim to accelerate processes where it truly matters. The new tool helps us quickly prepare clear and accurate job descriptions, giving recruiters more time for the most important part of their work—evaluating candidates and conducting interviews.”

As HR teams note, the resulting job posts are clearer and more informative. The bot has already improved the quality of job applications and simplified resume processing. After demonstrating early success, Sveza plans to expand the bot’s functionality and deploy it across other assets.

This will standardize HR processes and shorten hiring cycles across the company’s sites.

Transforming the Industrial Talent Landscape

This case illustrates how AI and HR tech are entering the manufacturing sector, strengthening Russia’s broader digitalization trend.

AI‑assisted hiring can enhance personnel management efficiency, reduce time‑to‑hire, and improve candidate evaluation quality. It also reduces dependence on subjective human factors, making hiring more transparent. Qualifications—not personal connections—become the key criterion.

In the future, Sveza’s system could be scaled to industrial holdings and enterprises across Russia, in line with the national push toward HR digitalization amid a growing talent shortage. The tool may eventually integrate with HRIS and ATS platforms, supporting large‑scale workforce planning.

With proper adaptation, the technology carries export potential for markets in the CIS, Asia, and Latin America.
