Global Brain has decided to invest in VARIETAS Inc. (VARIETAS), a provider of the interactive AI Interviewer for enterprises, through its Global Brain Flagship Fund IX (GB-IX) as the co-lead investor. In recent years, the concentration of applications to major companies has made it difficult for candidates to pass the application screening process, and they have not had the opportunity to appeal themselves at interviews. In addition, the development of job-based recruitment has made it difficult for candidates to grasp their own market value, leading to an increase in mismatches between candidates and companies. Furthermore, the spread of generative AI has made it difficult to differentiate the Entry Sheets (ES), and the individuality and potential of candidates are being buried. On the other hand, HR recruiters are faced with the challenges of dealing with diversifying recruitment requirements and identifying potential abilities in the initial selection process. Conventional interviewing has also been a barrier to hiring as it is largely dependent on the subjective judgment of each interviewer, which makes it difficult to make a fair evaluation. VARIETAS’ AI Interviewer solves these issues for both candidates and companies, making it possible to hire more fairly. The company can analyze interview data and visualize abilities that have been overlooked in the conventional screening process to achieve more accurate hiring. Furthermore, reaching more candidates with limited resources creates opportunities for companies to meet highly qualified candidates while maintaining fairness. Global Brain has decided to invest in VARIETAS because of its innovative product and highly viable management team. Through this investment, Global Brain will actively support VARIETAS to contribute to its business growth.
