On 25 August we introduced Madita, the first agentic recruiter. Frauke von Polier, CHRO of the Year 2022, set out how people and AI will work together. Then came the reveal, live and unedited: from setting up the role to the interview to the finished evaluation. Annika Arzdorf (AXA Direktberatung) and Kristin Werner (Televic) described how AI interviews changed their day-to-day, and how they resolved data protection, works council and candidate experience.
Three takeaways from the forum
People and AI work hand in hand, not against each other
Madita takes the structured, repeating parts of the first interview, around the clock and in over 90 languages. Your team then gets a defensible evaluation with a summary, transcript and audio highlights. Empathy, experience and judgement stay decisive, and your recruiting team still makes the selection.
From practice: comparable conversations instead of CVs
AXA Direktberatung and Televic use AI interviews today, from volume recruiting to specialist roles. Kristin Werner, recruiter at Televic: “For the first time we have comparable material on every candidate. Not CVs, real conversations.” Within four days it is clear who fits, and who never replied.
AI in recruiting needs trust and clear guardrails
Candidate experience, data protection and governance belong in from the start. Madita tells candidates before the interview that they are speaking with an AI, processes personal data only to run and anonymise the interview, and never uses it for training. Every interview is documented, human oversight remains, and there are no automated rejections.
Is this even allowed?
The three questions that usually stall AI projects in recruiting, from the legal section of the forum.
Who decides?
- I interview and gather information, your team decides.
- Every decision requires a real review by a recruiter.
- Candidates know from the start that they are speaking with an AI.
How is it scored?
- No discriminatory or non-compliant questions.
- No emotion recognition, no video recordings.
- Documentation is ready, including for the works council.
Ready to deploy?
- Built with the EU AI Act in mind from the start.
- Personal data only to run and anonymise the interview, never for training.
- Every interview documented, no automated rejections.
