Virtual Assistant for High Volume Recruitment

Submitted Oct 15, 2018

Technical level: Intermediate

Logistics companies, both old and new, have invested heavily in building an efficient frontline workforce to provide swift and convinient services to their users. Timely delivery is often a critical deciding factor for the ever-impatient customers to choose service A over service B. Hence, operations/logistic team is the key enabler here.

The attrition rate in large frontline teams is high, close to 75 percent annually. Yet most companies have aggressive growth targets, necessitating recruitment of high volumes of workers constantly. High-growth companies in this domain like Zomato and Swiggy, which are trying to grow by 50-60 percent by the end of 2018, need to recruit tens of thousands of delivery boys every month.

At Vahan, we have developed an AI-driven virtual assistant that helps logistics companies scale and automate their hiring process by leveraging the common addiction of messaging applications like WhatsApp and FB messenger.

In this talk, I will cover in detail how we developed a complete data collection and natural language processing pipeline for indian languages and built a chatbot over Whatsapp which is currently connecting companies like Dunzo, Dominos & Ecom Express with potential frontline workers and fulfiling the hiring requirements of this industry in a scalable and autonomous fashion.
