Jade Chen
Head of Strategy & Operations at AllyO
How would you best describe your innovation?
AllyO is a chat bot and more. It utilises deep workflow conversational AI to fully automate the end to end recruiting workflow by intelligently engaging through texting over mobile and web.
It enables conversational job matching across all Talent Acquisition channels, intelligently qualifies the candidate specifically for the best-fit role, automates interview scheduling and post interview interactions, drives retention through post-hire check-ins, and gathers actionable insights to improve overall recruiting performance.
AllyO is multilingual, can be quickly deployed due to its highly configurable technology, and easily integrates and scales with existing HR systems and processes.
Since launch, it has processed millions of applicant interactions to schedule over hundred thousand interviews. As a result, enterprises have experienced 2-6X increase in applicant capture and conversion rate, 91 percent application completion rate, and over 50 percent reduction in cost and time to hire.
What frustration/problem does it solve?
AllyO addresses the traditional inefficiencies of lost applicants and conversions due to poor candidate experience, high cost of recruiting due to overburdening of menial tasks on hiring teams, and lack of visibility and control for HR leadership.
It is re-inventing recruiting by bringing the recruiting process to the applicant rather than taking the applicants to the recruiting process.
How does it differentiate from other like-minded products in the market?
More than just an AI chat bot, AllyO integrates with your ATS and enterprise calendars to deliver end to end automation, from the initial candidate engagement through to scheduling and post-hire workforce analytics.

myInterview is disrupting recruitment technology and taking it to the next level with a best-in-class video interviewing platform enabled with predictive analytics, designed to put personality back into the hiring process and streamline the work of recruiters.
myInterview can save money for any company with an HR department – we would love a chance to get to know you and offer you a test-drive (on the house) of our solution.
What frustration/problem does it solve?
Hiring is time consuming to get done right. You have to assess skills, experience and personality, then you have to share this with various decision makers.
Add into the mix bias controls and diversity quotas, the process is protracted and great candidates fall through the gaps.
myInterview solves these challenges for you.

How would you best describe your innovation?
coHired is a recruitment platform that matches people to jobs they love, because people who love their jobs are more reliable, more productive and stay longer.
It is a platform that matches people based on experience, skills and ethos, and allows the client to outsource as much or as little of the process as they desire.
What frustration/problem does it solve?
We improve retention and team fit by focusing on three problems that recruiters have while matching people to jobs:
How does it differentiate from other like-minded products in the market?
We front load the recruitment process, gathering more data from applicants (extracted experience data, gamified skills & ethos data) and then use machine learning to match them to the workplace “ethos”.
We provide access to collaborative pools of job-seekers and enable automated recruitment process outsourcing (RPO).
We also developed matching algorithms that are the base for machine learning. Our current goal is to use matching solutions to:

Sally Carr
VP Sales at Expert360
How would you best describe your innovation?
Expert360 Enterprise is a freelance marketplace and management platform that connects Talent specialists and Hiring Managers with highly skilled and vetted Talent on-demand.
Our recent product innovation allows enterprise businesses and recruiters to manage private networks of Talent.
The system works by intelligently matching a project-brief or description with relevant and available Talent in the selected Talent network.
Talent specialists can also use the system to browse and engage available Talent with full visibility of the Talents availability, work preferences, experience and ratings.
What frustration/problem does it solve?
Some of the benefits of using Expert360 Enterprise include:
How does it differentiate from other like-minded products in the market?
Unlike a Workday or equal HRIS systems, at the core of Expert360 Enterprise is a live and dynamic Talent profile which the Talent is incentivised to keep up-to-date to find their next opportunity.
Unlike a Beeline or Fieldglass or equal VMS systems, Expert360 Enterprise provides direct access to external Talent complete with ratings and reviews, availability and more.
Unlike both systems, our platform is built with intelligent matching at its core. Talent specialists can instantly match their project requirements with engaged experts.

Stefan Hinrichsen
Principal Consultant & Head of Sales at Aon’s Assessment Solutions
How would you best describe your innovation?
AI-scoring for video interviewing, using innovative technology with focus on a fair, transparent and legally defendable process.
What frustration/problem does it solve?
How does it differentiate from other like-minded products in the market?
We are the only provider to offer a ‘glass-box approach’ in AI which means ensuring a transparent and fair process.
We do not consider any kind of facial expression/recognition or use non-transparent algorithms which have even caused legal issues in some countries.
We focus on speech-to-text which makes it a legally defendable process. We emphasise the interaction between AI and a human recruiter rather than replacing the human.
Has anyone signed up as a client yet?
This pre-launch version is currently in use with participating testing clients. So far, we have used the AI for more than 8,000 real candidates.
