Mya Systems (short for "my assistant") has developed an AI that can streamline the recruitment process in multiple ways, including approving resumes, garnering further information on candidates, asking pay-related follow up questions, and scheduling interviews. The AI chatbot — designed to work in tandem with humans rather than replacing them — has the potential to free up human recruiters and lessen the bureaucratic aspects of the hiring process. Its founder, Eyal Grayevesky, told CNN tech that "Recruiters are overwhelmed with so much work because they're doing boilerplate tasks."

Since its launch in 2016, the technology has already been adopted by Fortune 500 companies in banking, consulting and retail sectors: Mya's website reports that it has been phenomenally successful, averaging a 9.8 out of 10 on overall candidate experience, increasing recruiting output by 200%, and reducing overheads by 80%. An additional $11.8 million in funding, acquired earlier this week, may help Grayevesky achieve his goal of eliminating frictional employment — the market failure of a decrease in efficiency due to people being in between jobs.

    If we actually were interested in the hiring process, we'd develop a standard for the relevant data. The applicant would merely send in one file instead of laboriously filling in silly forms for hours and the recruiter could use some funky dash board to easily analyze the candidates.

    I mean like an XML file format that'd contain all the interesting fields, like contact details and work history.

    Each page is valid XHTML 1.0 Strict with CSS. It's easy to lift my listings - they're all in one element, entered in a uniform way.

    Real Soon Now I'll provide XML of just the listings.

    The project has been on hold for a while, but I plan to take it up again - Real Soon Now.
