Jobot:通过微信帮你找工作微信机器人在中国有着巨大的市场。微软在中国最受欢迎的消息应用上运营的聊天机器人就有 2000 万个粉丝—— 而且它还是被狂热崇拜的对象 ——这表明消息聊天的对象不只是局限于你的朋友。
那何不如就来这里找工作或是进行面试技巧练习呢?这正是 Jobot 的目的所在——这一项目诞生于本周末的 TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon。
该服务基于微信平台,后者是一个广受欢迎的中国消息应用,拥有着超过 5 亿的月度用户。Jobot 从本质上讲是一个聊天机器人,它会通过提问来评估出最适合用户的公司。该服务使用 IBM Watson 系统,会为每个用户制定个性化的分析模式,比如文化适应性和工作氛围。这些收集自用户的信息可以帮助他们找到相匹配的未来雇主。
Jobot 不仅帮助求职者寻找潜在雇主,它还会帮助他们练习回答那些他们在招聘环节中可能会被问到的问题。
在每个回答的基础上,Jobot 会使用一个自动化的系统来管理问题,不过该服务的一名开发人员大卫·柯里尔(David Collier)表示,人们可以随时轻松插入任何一个环节。如果程式化问题问完了,而招聘人员还想要更多的详细信息,这会对应聘者有帮助。同样地,柯里尔告诉我们,由于公司本身也可能需要寻找特定类型的求职者,比如一些像实习生这样的初级职位,Jobot 也会非常适合他们。
现在,该服务还在不断完善中——首先,它还不是一款官方认证的机器人。此外,柯里尔还表示,他们计划对分析进行调整,以便让企业能够使用 Jobot 进行预先筛选。他们很有可能还会开发一个管理面板,病尝试与 Glassdoo 和领英进行集成。
柯里尔此前已经为微信开发了一个英语学习应用,并且还与其他消息应用进行合作,他表示,“微信上有 11 亿的用户,凭这一点我们可以有把握地说,伟大的事情即将发生。人们已经把消息聊天融入到日常生活——我们打算将这个转化为资本。”
Jobot Helps You Get Hired Using WeChat’s Messaging App
WeChat bots are huge in China. The machine-powered being that Microsoft runs on China’s most popular messaging app has 20 million followers alone — and it is a cult hero — which shows that messaging isn’t just about chatting to your friends.
Why not use it to find a job or practice your interview technique? That’s what Jobot, a creation from this weekend’s TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon, aims to do.
The service uses WeChat, the hugely popular Chinese messaging app with over half a billion monthly users. It’s essentially a chatbot that asses the best kind of company a user should work for using questions, powered by IBM Watson, to develop personality insights like culture fit and sentiment, for each user. The idea is that information gleaned from users can help them find the right cultural match in a future employer.
Not only does it let job finders seek out potential employers, but also helps them practice responses to the kinds of questions that they’ll be asked during the recruitment process.
Jobot uses an automated system to manage questions based on each answer, but David Collier, one of the brains behind the service, said that a human could easily step into the process at any point. That might be useful once the formulaic questions are out of the way and a recruiter wants more specific information. Likewise, Collier told TechCrunch that companies themselves could get involved in the project to seek out specific types of hires, entry-level positions like interns might be best suited.
Right now, the service is a work in progress — for one thing it isn’t an official bot. Aside from fixing that, Collier said there are plans to tweak the analytics to give companies the option to use Jobot for prescreening purposes. An admin dashboard and potential integrations with Glassdoor and LinkedIn are also on the cards.
“With 1.1 billion users on WeChat, we can safely say there are great things in store. People already have chat integrated into their daily lives — we plan to capitalize on that,” Collier, who has an English learning app for WeChat and works with other messaging apps, said.
