Rates

In
a
recent
episode
of
NVIDIA’s
AI
Podcast,
host
Noah
Kravitz
interviewed
Mikhil
Raja,
Cofounder
and
CEO
of
SonicJobs.
Raja
explained
how
the
company’s
AI
agents
enable
candidates
to
complete
job
applications
directly
on
job
platforms
without
redirection,
which
is
a
common
cause
of
application
abandonment.
This
innovation
addresses
a
major
pain
point
in
the
recruitment
industry,
where
the
redirection
of
candidates
results
in
a
70%
bounce
rate.

The
AI
agents
developed
by
SonicJobs
merge
traditional
AI
with
large
language
models
(LLMs)
to
understand
and
interact
with
job
application
web
flows.
Raja
emphasized
the
importance
of
fine-tuning
foundational
models
to
create
more
impactful
and
scalable
solutions.

Technological
Innovations
and
Benefits

SonicJobs’
technology
not
only
benefits
job
seekers
by
simplifying
the
application
process
but
also
provides
significant
advantages
to
employers.
By
reducing
the
high
bounce
rate
associated
with
redirection,
employers
receive
more
completed
applications,
improving
their
talent
acquisition
metrics.

“The
conversion
from
a
paid
click
on
the
job
platform
to
the
application
that
the
employer
receives
is
the
most
important
metric
in
recruitment
advertising,”
Raja
noted.
The
industry-wide
average
for
application
conversion
stands
at
just
5%,
highlighting
the
impact
of
SonicJobs’
solution
in
boosting
this
rate
to
26%.

Evolution
and
Future
of
AI
Agents

Raja
also
discussed
the
evolution
of
AI
agents,
from
AutoGPT
to
more
verticalized
B2B
solutions.
He
shared
insights
into
how
SonicJobs
realized
the
approach
it
should
take
with
Agentic
AI,
and
the
importance
of
an
adaptive
learning
flywheel
to
scale
their
AI
agent
technology.

The
conversation
further
delved
into
the
potential
for
SonicJobs’
Verticalized
AI
Agent
solution
to
be
applied
to
other
verticals,
demonstrating
the
broader
applicability
of
their
innovative
technology.

Companies

Raja
offered
advice
for
companies
currently
trying
to
hire,
emphasizing
the
need
for
accuracy
and
the
benefits
of
fine-tuning
foundational
AI
models.
His
insights
provide
a
valuable
framework
for
how
AI
can
be
leveraged
to
improve
recruitment
processes
across
various
industries.
