A Russian startup is using Robot Vera, artificial intelligence software designed for recruiting, to help its 300-odd clients\u2014including PepsiCo, Ikea, and L\u2019Or\u00e9al\u2014fill vacant jobs. <\/p>\n

Vera speeds the vetting of high-turnover service and blue-collar positions (clerks, waiters, construction workers), cutting the time and cost of recruitment by as much as a third, according to its creators. The software can interview hundreds of applicants simultaneously via video or voice calls, narrowing the field to the most suitable 10 percent of candidates.
\nInnovators<\/p>\n

Vladimir Sveshnikov (28) and Alexander Uraksin (30), co-founders of Stafory, a 50-person startup in St. Petersburg Origin<\/p>\n

The co-founders, with a background in human resources, two years ago found themselves making hundreds of calls to candidates who\u2019d lost interest in the given job or couldn\u2019t be located. \u201cWe felt like robots ourselves, so we figured it was better to automate the task,\u201d Uraksin says.
\nDevelopment<\/p>\n

Vera, named after Sveshnikov\u2019s mother, combines speech recognition technologies from Google, Amazon.com, Microsoft, and Russia\u2019s Yandex. Programmers fed 13 billion examples of syntax and speech from TV, Wikipedia, and job listings to expand the software\u2019s vocabulary and help it speak more naturally and understand responses.
\nDeployment<\/p>\n

The robot started working in Russia in December 2016, and Stafory has since added clients in the Middle East and pilot projects in Europe and the U.S. The company says its revenue will top $1 million this year.<\/p>\n
