"If running a company is difficult in war, then a startup is even more so. You have to continue development in war conditions, when the world stops and the staff is missing. But we overcame, succeeded and registered two patents, even though our algorithmic team was recruited," said the entrepreneur Shira Septer in a speech she gave on behalf of the startups that Google chose.
Septer founded and manages Iverse, a start-up specializing in the application of artificial intelligence solutions to the human resources market. The company's product is a new system to improve recruitment and selection processes. The system, based on AI, was built and trained on the basis of thousands of screening interviews of candidates with occupational psychologists in hundreds of jobs from dozens of organizations in various sectors. The knowledge embedded in her allows her to analyze job candidates at the level of a human occupational psychologist during a video interview in natural, simple and clear language.
The system allows for a personal and accurate analysis of each candidate, and at the end of each interview provides a comprehensive report on the candidates, and ranks them according to their suitability for the position and potential for success in the organization. In recent pilots, the system demonstrated exceptional accuracy and suitability results.
