Next-Generation Staffing Service
Brief
The idea of AI powered staffing service, that is going to replace a traditional recruitment agencies came to my mind when I was trying to find a job in Singapore after completing my bachelor degree. I was struggling to find a job, because I simply did not not how to address my skills and qualities and what kind of job I really need. But during that time I always knew, that there should be a technological solution, a match-making tool that simply connect me with an employer who really needs me.
First, I realised that “Resume” as a source of information about candidate is obsolete, and we do not need it in 2021. So I developed a simple solution:
- AI-powered natural language processing chat bot that extract information about candidate/employer through natural conversation
- Match-making based on recommendations engine, trained from big data
- Video interview or paid task (for technical jobs)
- Management tools (For remote work)
Problem and Solution is based on a deep and holistic research, including academical materials, industry expert opinions, reputable business publications.
SIMPLE, SEAMLESS, PRECISE
Misson
Magnett will be an effective medium for creating a precise first touchpoint between the candidate and the employer to create an organic environment for their interaction
Problem
Too much noise in the HR market
- Uncontrolled and excessive flow of applications from candidates who, out of need, spam their resumes into employers’ mailboxes.
- Hard to grab candidate’s attention
- No feedback mechanisms. No online trust in HR industry
- Too many job posts. Enough to occupy jobseeker for life applying them.
Too high hiring costs. Disproportionate resources
- Average cost to hire an employee is $4,000, with around 42 days to fill a position.
- The average amount of time it takes to find a job is about 9 weeks due to the process of sending out applications, scheduling interviews and waiting for a callback.
Current systems do not solve problem / Lack of Trust
- The field of AI in recruitment and selection (R&S) remains hugely underdeveloped
- ATS (Applicant Tracking System): Selects candidates with the best resumes (keywords), not the best skills=candidates
- Job boards still rely on 1990s ideas and technology
- People hoax their skills, responsibilities, employment dates, job titles, academic degrees, companies worked for, accolades/awards received
- Too long a path and many steps for candidate to reach the employer (Letters, forms, resumes)
Solution

Features
How it works
Ability-aware Person-Job Fit Neural Network
(Logic Model for AI algorithms)
Word-level: Capturing the key phrases from the sentences of job requirement.
Ability-level: Measuring the different importance among all abilities
Matching-level: Understanding the matching between job requirements and candidate experiences
Comparative Analysis of Screening in Operations Perspective
Process
The evaluation process is performed by algorithm to parse and match relevant keywords and phrases from information about candidate and that are related to job requirements.
The assessment is free from humans’ bias.
Chatbot can also perform the improved version of knockout questions. Instead of having merely ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ questions, the chatbot asks open-ended questions to get more clarification from job seekers.
Output
The output of AI is the recommendation on shortlisted candidates and humans have control to accept or reject the advice. When humans reject or accept, it simultaneously teaches AI algorithms to learn and improve future decision making. Simultaneously, the recommendation and insights from the machine can be used as the material for the interview stage hence making it more data driven assessment.

GAMIFICATION (AI chat-bot assessment)
We convert a traditional SJT (Situational Judgement Tests) to a gamified assessment
GOAL
Our aim is to gamify an assessment method that would support our AI matching algorithms to map out prospective employees’ soft skills.
REASONS
1.Gamification is a cutting edge of technology offering competitive advantage in the war of talent
2.The gamification of selection methods is also likely to improve performance prediction by impeding information distortion and providing better quality information about the test‐takers
3.SJT gamified assessments assess an applicant’s cognitive ability or judgment regarding a situation encountered in the workplace
4.Four of the skills that become in today’s demanding work environments (resilience, adaptability, flexibility, and decision‐making)
5.These skills, are key transferable soft skills integral to graduate employability
6.The base for building a product around the concept “Gamified recruitment” in future development. More research and feedback from users needed (Will be gained after launching MVP)
Product
We do not build features. We build a hiring experience
Automatic e-recruitment system that employs multiple cooperative semantic resources and occupational classifications (Generic lexical ontology “WordNet” and high-quality semantic resource “YAGO3”) to precisely match candidate qualification to their relevant job requirements. Two Interfaces: For Recruiter and Candidate. Clean, minimalistic interface
Web-Based Application (WBA)
Mobile Application
AI Chatbot to collect information about users + Chat Interview (Light)
- No need a resume
- Collected information will be used for a sematic analysis to produce a precise match between candidate and employer
- The chatbot will also be a tool that facilitate the assessment such as personality test or logical tests (the chatbot can ask candidates to solve mini cases or questions related to the domain of knowledge that relevant with the job)
- Dynamic wage projections are based on big data analysis of the local labor market and are displayed to both parties in the communication process. Changes depending on the entered requirements / skills

GAMIFIED ASSESSING OF CANDIDATES’ SOFT SKILLS
We allow our chat-bot to use games in order to enhance fun, motivation, and engagement as well as improve predictive validity. Efficient in recruiting in graduate trainee and entry‐level positions with no prior work experience.
- Assess skills indirectly
- Focuses on behaviour and not on personality traits that appear to be a less import‐ ant criterion in employee selection
- Obtain higher quality information from candidates since they are more difficult for test‐takers to fake and better able to elicit behaviours than traditional selection methods
- The gamified SJT uses verbal and vision cues that enhance realism and as a result, might provide to future employers a superior assessment of candidates’ skills compared to traditional selection tests.

Automatic appointment of interviews
After the purchase, the employer chooses the type of carousel: now, or deferred (distributed interviews in the calendar)
It is possible to reject a candidate before the interview if the reviews do not meet the requirements
Synchronization with Google Calendar / Microsoft Outlook
Interview Carousel
When the screening process has been done and have eliminated 50%-80% of the candidates, the applicants’ pool can be narrowed down further video-based interview
- Each interview goes through an integrated video calling system.
- Notes function for later display in the shortlist
- Structure of interview (questions) are also displayed and customised
- The candidate information is displayed next to the screen:
- Work experience
- Education
- Skills
- Feedback
A Feedback Mechanism To Build Trust Online
A core element of the IRP system is mandatory feedback that candidates and recruiters must leave after the interview.
If he gave a good marks, the option to shortlist appears
NOTE:
There are many situations where candidates do not get a job due to special requirements. However, a recruiter can highlight his strengths to help other recruiters find him faster, which will create a more effective recruiting environment overall.
