Unabot is a natural language processing (NLP) bot built on Microsoft’s Bot framework, designed to understand what employees need to know and fetch information for them when it is asked. Unilever is working with AI recruitment specialist Pymetrics to interview candidates through machine learning algorithms, allowing the firm to cut about 70,000 hours of human interviewing and assessment. Video interviews are evaluated through analysis of spoken and body language, after which the software will forward potential hires and provide feedback automatically for unsuccessful candidates. Once hired, Unabot, a Microsoft Bot-based AI system, will interact with employees to fetch and differentiate information for specific individuals. The company says it has already hired more than 1,000 people in its pilot program so far, including some who have been trained by Microsoft.
