Challenge
As a leading insurer in Malaysia, AIA Bhd. serves 5.2 million customers nationwide. To maintain its large customer base and continue delivering exceptional service, AIA Bhd. needs to recruit a significant number of sales agents on a regular basis. However, the sheer volume and frequency of recruitment present several challenges:
High Recruitment Volume
Each year, AIA Bhd. hires thousands of sales agents, which puts immense pressure on their HR team to manage many applications in a short period of time.
High Recruitment Costs
The traditional hiring process, including screening, interviewing, and assessing candidates manually with average turnaround time of 8 days for candidates to complete the interview, is time-consuming and resource-intensive, leading to escalating recruitment costs.
Maintaining Consistency and Quality
Ensuring consistent and unbiased assessments for every candidate while managing high volumes can be challenging, risking the potential for missed talent or inefficient hires.
Solution
AIA Malaysia’s newly launched platform, AI Recruiter, is powered by Neufast’s advanced AI Interview technology, transforming the recruitment process for AIA’s agency force. Neufast’s platform automates the entire interview lifecycle—from scheduling to candidate evaluation—enabling interviews to take place virtually at any time, providing unparalleled convenience.
For sales agents, with focus on key performance metrics such as policy submissions, campaign activations, client appointments, and follow-ups, the AI autonomously conducts interviews, evaluates candidate responses based on these critical metrics, and provides accurate, data-driven recommendations, enabling AIA to make faster and more informed hiring decisions.
Neufast plays a pivotal role in helping AIA tackle high-volume recruitment challenges by attracting a wider talent pool, significantly reducing time-to-hire, and efficiently screening and filtering large numbers of candidates in a short time. By eliminating manual scheduling and streamlining candidate assessments, Neufast empowers AIA to focus on top talent. For candidates, the solution offers the flexibility to schedule interviews on their terms, allowing for better preparation and a more comfortable interview experience.
Outcomes
