Netherlands-Based In2Dialog Raises Second Round of Angel Funding to Revolutionize Recruitment with AI
In2Dialog , a Dutch startup revolutionizing recruitment through AI-driven technology, has secured a second round of angel investment. The platform streamlines the interview process by eliminating the need for post-interview reports and integrating with key ATS providers. It provides automated, accurate reports on candidates, enhancing efficiency and objectivity. In2Dialog also offers insights into recruitment team performance, helping managers benchmark and improve their teams. The company’s AI tools focus on enhancing the human dimension of recruitment rather than replacing it, ensuring better individual matches and organizational improvement.
In2Dialog – a Dutch startup company which uses AI-driven technology to revolutionise the recruitment and interview process – today announces that it has secured a second round of investment from a group of angel investors, all of whom have an established track record of success in both technology and recruitment markets. The investment signals the strong potential of the In2Dialog platform and the faith that key market stakeholders have in its developing success.
First and foremost, In2Dialog saves recruiters significant amounts of time – often as much as thirty minutes per interview, by eliminating the need to write post-interview reports, and ensuring that interviewers can focus directly on their candidate without being distracted by note keeping. The reports it generates give a targeted, relevant and accurate account of each candidate, extracting information relating to interests, motivations and skills, as well as any customised parameters set by the user. In this way, it renders the interview process significantly more efficient, and creates a more objective and consistent method of reporting to key decision makers. Indeed, this communication of insight is automated and streamlined yet further through integration with a range of key ATS providers, including Bullhorn and Byner. By auto-populating the users’ preferred ATS, stakeholders are provided at-a-glance understanding of potential candidates without any need to change existing organisational workflow.
The AI dimension of the platform makes In2Dialog far more than an automated note-taking system though. In2Dialog are committed to ‘breaking the black box’ of interviewing, streamlining the information-gathering process and providing measurable, objective insight into the way that interviews are being performed by recruitment teams. This insight can then be used to not only assess candidates and communicate their attributes more consistently across the organisation but can also be used to monitor the performance of the recruitment team itself, helping managers to understand how their team engage in interviews, and providing benchmarks to harmonise future performance. The system quantifies and compares interviewing style, generating metrics for elements such as duration of interview and rate of trait extraction, percentage of turn-taking and open questioning, subject focus breakdown and energy-match between candidate and recruiter. Managers can use these to assess and benchmark team performance, without the time-consuming process of individually overseeing and monitoring interviews in-person.
As such, In2Dialog occupies a relatively unique space in the market, since it works to not just secure better and more efficient individual matches through greater efficiency and improved candidate insight (particularly through the development of additional validated psychometric candidate data), but also provides recruitment managers with an understanding of team performance, and how they can engage in a process of continuous improvement. In2Dialog’s use of thematic, syntactic and psychometric analysis grants deeper insight into candidates and their qualities, as well as recruiters and their recruitment approach, thereby helping to not only secure better individual matches, but improve the interviewing process across the board.
In2Dialog is the brainchild of recruitment specialist Diddo van Zand, along with a team of professionals with backgrounds in the field of recruitment, psychology, AI and data science. Speaking of this most recent investment round, van Zand said: “The faith signaled through this most recent funding injection further cements to us the real value that In2Dialog can bring to the recruitment industry, a faith that had already been demonstrated in part through the range of market-leading ATS providers who have sought to integrate our technology. We will be using the funding to further enhance In2Dialog’s functionality and expand into new geographical markets”.
He continued: “While some other start-ups are beginning to see the value of applying AI in the field of recruitment, their approach often seems to miss the point – seeking to replace rather than augment the role of people in the process of matching candidates and organisations. The human dimension will always be crucial to making effective employment matches: In2Dialog works to support and refine this, delivering efficiency, consistency and objectivity, but never reducing the process to a mere automated ‘tick box’ exercise. Ultimately, our product delivers both better individual matches, and an enhanced organisational approach for securing those matches”.
