REDESIGN HIRING WITH AI
Build a next-generation hiring foundation, balancing speed and quality at scale
Proomi is a Japan-born AI hiring platform in which AI Interviewer and AI Screener take on interviewing and evaluation, 24/7. We support staffing and recruitment agencies, franchise operators, retail chains, service industries, and hospitality groups—companies with high labour costs and turnover—providing a stable, predictable hiring engine even when talent acquisition teams are strained.

CHALLENGES TO SOLVE
There is a ceiling on how many people one recruiter can meet.
The AI picks up the candidates who would otherwise go unseen.
AI Interviewer
More interviews than people can handle
A recruiter can only run so many interviews, and no one knows every industry in depth. With limited interview time, it is hard to judge each candidate’s skills and fit.
AI Screener
Candidates you never get to
Each recruiter covers only a narrow set of industries and roles, so many registered candidates are never contacted. With screening and interviews running automatically, everyone is assessed on the same criteria before you meet them, and the people you pass on stay on record.
PRODUCT
Screening and interviewing both run on your own criteria.
Documents and conversations end up on the same scale.
Deepen conversations and standardise evaluationinterviews run 24/7 and in parallel, with transcripts, summaries and scores to review
Analyse CVs and miss fewer candidatesany format is parsed automatically and scored against your requirements and benchmarks
Every evaluation uses the same set of fieldsrole, experience, skills — so candidates can be matched against a job brief later
CALIBRATION
Start from your own criteria.
As you go, you compare the results with real hiring outcomes, so the criteria move closer to how your company actually hires.
01
Gather what you have
Past outcomes, evaluation sheets, and the profile you hire for
02
Make it the standard
Questions, evaluation criteria and score weighting, defined your way
03
Apply it to everyone
Screening and AI interviews run on the same criteria
04
Compare
See where the AI scores differ from your final human decisions, then adjust
Feed what you learn in 04 back into 02, and the criteria converge on how you actually hire

| Business impact | 5 | 4 |

The AI’s scores are laid over the reviewer’s. Where the two shapes diverge, take that back to 02.
