Jobbfestivalen in a unique partnership with Tengai to promote diversity & inclusion in recruitment
Jobbfestivalen, which is Sweden's largest job fair with a focus on diversity & inclusion, enters into a partnership with the AI company Tengai to create concrete relationships between companies and job seekers. Before this year's job festival, candidates will have the opportunity to do an interview with the avatar Tengai before, during, and after the festival. Exhibitors get access to already interviewed candidates and the opportunity to understand more about their personality, behaviors and potential, without being colored by prejudices such as age, gender, origin, and appearance. The purpose of the partnership is to connect job seekers and recruiters by reducing unconscious biases at the beginning of the recruitment process.
Stockholm, April 27, 2023 - Jobbfestivalen with the theme of diversity & inclusion in Kungsträdgården is a meeting place for job seekers and companies with continuous recruitment needs. Ahead of this year's fair, Jobbfestivalen enters into a partnership with the AI company Tengai to give exhibitors a unique opportunity to gain access, completely free of charge, to already interviewed candidates who will visit Jobbfestivalen. The partnership gives candidates who will visit the job fair a chance to show more of their skills and receive personal feedback.
The collaboration goes hand in hand with Jobbfestivalen’s ambition, which is to contribute to more diversity & inclusion in the labor market and create more dynamic workplaces. As well as a new job-matching initiative with the goal of creating concrete relationships between companies and people who, for various reasons, have poorer conditions to establish themselves in the labor market.
“We are pleased to enter into a partnership with Tengai so that job seekers have the opportunity to demonstrate their potential with reduced risk of discrimination. By being able to talk to the Tengai avatar before, during and after the job festival, candidates will be judged objectively and this creates the right conditions and contributes to improved matching," says Mats Wernheim, Initiator at the Jobbfeestivalen. He continues: "Although we will never be completely free from our prejudices, an increased awareness of them can lead to better inclusion. Unfortunately, exclusion, even if unconscious, can happen even before an application has been submitted.”
The world's first personal AI avatar for objective interviews
Tengai has developed the first objective and personalized screening software that creates candidate engagement and streamlines the initial part of the recruitment process while collecting important candidate data. With the new AI avatar, recruiters and hiring managers can screen multiple candidates simultaneously, communicate effectively and automate personalized feedback while reducing unconscious bias. For a positive candidate experience, this is more important than ever.
"It feels great to collaborate with Jobbfestivalen and help companies build diversified and inclusive teams by removing unconscious biases in the initial part of the recruitment process.", says Elin Öberg Mårtenzon, CEO at Tengai. She continues: "To be innovative and having a candidate-centric recruitment process are two of our core values at Tengai. Through this partnership, our hope is that we can contribute to a greater understanding of how objective recruitment processes should be done and at the same time promote the use of new and innovative technology by Swedish companies, municipalities and organizations."
