Tengai Announces World’s First Human-Like Avatar for Unbiased Candidate Conversations

Introducing the new human-like Tengai avatar and candidate app which provides on-demand access to the AI interview. Ensuring accessibility and empowering all candidates, while also increasing efficiency and quality of hire for HR professionals.

STOCKHOLM, Nov 7, 2022 - Tengai AB, announces a human-like avatar interview and candidate app, which is more accessible and customizable for different organizational needs. The new version of Tengai is pre-tailored for efficient screening, assessing candidates' personality traits related to work performance, and has improved conversational AI to enhance the candidate experience. Elin Öberg Mårtezon, CEO at Tengai, talks about the new AI interview.

- Being innovative and having a candidate-centric recruitment process are two of our core values at Tengai. With the new human-like avatar, Tengai becomes accessible to organizations and candidates all over the world.

Creating a more unbiased and efficient hiring process

There is a rising demand for time-saving services in recruitment that also mitigates unconscious bias from the process. Until now, there has not been any human-like screening software that both engages candidates and helps recruiters with collecting the right candidate data. With Tengai, recruiters no longer have to coordinate busy schedules, or manually screen every applicant. The AI interview is validated by psychometric experts and gives recruiters access to structured data which makes it possible to quickly identify matches between candidates and jobs.

AI interview with a human touch

While efficiency is key to a successful hiring process, it can not be at the cost of the candidate's experience. What makes the Tengai avatar unique is the human-like conversation and personalized feedback every candidate receives. Having an AI with "human" abilities is crucial to a successful candidate experience, according to Sinisa Strbac, Chief Product Officer at Tengai.

- In today’s candidate-driven job market applicants don’t want to experience being treated like numbers on a spreadsheet, rather than human beings with their own stories to tell. With this in mind, we developed Tengai to be personable and engaging for candidates. The new avatar has a friendly appearance and human-like voice that candidates like.

We are now offering a unique opportunity to sign up for the waiting list and become one of the first organizations to use Tengai’s new, human-like avatar for unbiased interview screening. The new Tengai avatar is available on the global market on April 3rd, 2023. Go to https://tengai.io/recruitment-avatar to see the new trailer and to get more information on how to get on board.
