AI-powered automated video interview evaluation by Aspiring Minds

Imagine a recruitment process free from interviewer biases! It would not only bring down the hiring time significantly but also enable to standardize their interview processes, at the same time attaining efficiency at scale. While machines are good at analysing data and doing tasks like matching, screening and ranking candidates, human resources is crucial to strategic planning and employee welfare.

Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and bots are changing the dynamics of recruitment across the world today. Many a times, organisations lose out on good candidates due to constraints like shortage of time, limited number of interviewers and accuracy in assessment.

At times, people at the management level may not be available for conducting an interview. And those who would be, may not be able to handle a long list of applicants. A typical human recruiter can handle up to 20-50 candidates at a given time, but a machine can perform the same task much better and faster.


There is always the risk of making a bad hire because human recruiters may have deep rooted biasness when it comes to selection and analysis. There is a pressing need for objective and most importantly, accessible ways of taking interviews.

HR today needs to be empowered with Artificial Intelligence for businesses to thrive without losing the personal approach to communication.
AI-powered video interview bots can help HR heads in saving manpower engaged in setting up interviews and evaluate candidates without human biases, even if only subconsciously.

Advanced AI along with technology are an enabler for human resources. Aspiring Minds, a company that uses Artificial Intelligence to enable meritocracy in the labour market, offers a virtual interview platform that not only mimics actual face-to-face interview but also automatically evaluates a candidate just like a human interviewer would have.
