  • Mega HR claims Megan is the most sophisticated AI recruiter to date
  • It can apparently manage up to 78% of frontline hiring tasks to cut costs
  • It doesn't take lunches, go on holiday, take toilet breaks, go to sleep or gossip

Recruiters play an important role in the hiring process, matching qualified candidates with job opportunities at organizations, arranging interviews, and so on - so it probably won’t come as too much of a surprise to learn this is a task to which AI is perfectly suited.

Mega HR has unveiled Megan, an advanced AI agent designed to transform recruiting and hiring processes.

Megan (who hopefully is more stable than her movie AI namesake) can apparently automate up to 78% of frontline recruitment tasks and address common issues like applicant “ghosting,” where candidates fail to show up for interviews, don’t respond to job offers, or don’t arrive on their first day of work after accepting the position.

Self-training ability

Mega HR says its platform was designed from the ground up with an agentic mindset, allowing multiple AI agents to collaborate seamlessly, solving complex recruitment challenges step by step.

“Megan isn’t just another AI agent; she’s a paradigm shift in SaaS,” said Darren Bounds, Founder & CEO at Mega HR. “Customers are already spending much less time on our product and more time in Slack, conversing with Megan to get updates and finalize hiring decisions.”

One of Megan’s key features is continuous self-learning. By self-training on all architectural, behavioral, and informational changes, and incorporating them into her capabilities, Megan can “move between thoughts, problems, and concepts fluidly - like a human - yet with instant access to all relevant data,” Mega HR claims.

Megan can reduce workloads by managing a majority of hiring tasks, from creating job postings to finalizing offers. For applicants, she can provide timely updates and clear communication.

The platform uses neural-symbolic reasoning, combining the contextual strengths of neural networks with the logical capabilities of symbolic AI, to interpret resumes, job descriptions, and other hiring data with a large degree of nuance. In addition, the AI’s composable design allows various workflows to connect and evolve dynamically, making it possible to adjust processes without sacrificing reliability.

Active learning mechanisms allow Megan to seek out and process new data that align with user goals, and Mega HR says any decisions that Megan makes are easy to trace, understand and, presumably, challenge.
