Interviews with AI avatar

“For the first time this year, the company is using the 'Avatar AI' system to conduct initial interviews for

fresh graduates,” said Manal Matar, Head of Employee Experience and HR Digitalization (Acting) at
du.

Two rooms are available for virtual interviews, where applicants enter the room for an interview.

Manal explained that candidates can scan a QR code to access available positions for fresh graduates
and then conduct an interview with Khalid's avatar. The interview lasts between 5 and 15 minutes and

focuses on behavior, interaction style, and overall personality of the new candidates.“It's very easy to

use and user-friendly,” she added.

The AI system then provides scoring and recommendations to match candidates to different
roles.“Interviews are recorded for review by the recruitment department, and suitable candidates are

invited to the second round of interviews.”

She noted that AI interviews are available for fresh graduates, while experienced applicants are

interviewed directly by recruiters.

Unbiased AI

Similarly, Abdulaziz AlFalahi, General Supervisor of Private Sector Recruitment Operations at the
Emirati Human Resources Development Council, explained,“When a CV is uploaded, the AI system

analyzes it and identifies the most suitable vacancies. It then shortlists these opportunities, allowing
the candidate to apply directly. On the other hand, recruiters receive instant notifications once

applications are submitted.”

He added,“Recruiters can then schedule interviews and even conduct face-to-face sessions online.

During these virtual interviews, the AI monitors the video call to detect potential bias from recruiters, as
well as any lack of knowledge or skills from the interviewee. The system then provides constructive

feedback to both sides, helping candidates improve their preparation for future interviews and
supporting recruiters in enhancing their assessment practices.”

(FAHR) has launched a new HR AI Agent designed to reimagine HR service delivery for the federal
