Fiona conducts fully autonomous 10-minute video interviews using a friendly, life-like avatar. She asks straight-to-the-point questions, dynamically follows up, and then generates a transparent summary showing exactly where each candidate stands. Candidates receive a transcript, key strengths, and a clear explanation of how their responses were evaluated — giving them full control over their application journey. They can also apply directly to job postings, while Fiona autonomously reaches out to top matches.

"Fiona is obsessed with fairness and efficiency," said Kevin Gao, CEO of FUKU.AI. "Every candidate gets the same structured experience, the same level of attention, and the same transparent evaluation. And it does all this with unmatched efficiency, turning days of screening into minutes."

Designed for High-Volume SME Roles

Fiona is ideal for high-volume roles in SMEs - sales, engineers, back-office functions, and more. Integrated with ATS and HRIS platforms and powered by LLM orchestration, Fiona autonomously reaches out to candidates, screens them, and delivers clear, instantly digestible reports with precise recommendations: proceed, hold, or reject. This eliminates hours — or even days — of manual screening, reduces bias, and allows managers to focus on decision-making rather than first-round filtering.

"Asian SMEs need speed without sacrificing quality," said Kai Yang, CTO of FUKU.AI. "Fiona gives busy hiring managers a warm, professional AI interviewer co-pilot that can reliably run thousands of interviews a day with consistent scoring, clear outcomes, and zero drop in fairness."

Transparent and Empowering

FUKU.AI emphasizes that Fiona's experience is fair, transparent, and consistent. From the first question, candidates know how they're being assessed, and managers can trust that every decision is backed by clear, objective data.

Availability

Fiona is now available globally, with early traction building among SMEs across Southeast Asia.

According to a Channel News Asia report, this wave of tech layoffs in Singapore reflects a broader global trend: companies are pivoting toward AI and automation to boost efficiency, phasing out redundant roles. While the short-term impact has disrupted careers, long-term demand for digitally skilled professionals remains strong.

These changes signal a recalibration across the tech industry, where hiring priorities are shifting toward AI-focused roles, data science, cybersecurity, and cloud computing.

Despite the disruption, Singapore remains a strategic hub for tech talent. Public and private sector employers are continuing to recruit in high-growth areas, as highlighted by recent job market insights from The Straits Times. However, with increasing pressure to hire efficiently, many employers are rethinking their approach to recruitment.

This is where Fuku AI's automated recruitment platform plays a pivotal role. Using AI-driven hiring solutions, Fuku AI helps companies fill critical roles faster through:

• AI talent mapping
• AI-generated job-role matching
• Automated candidate outreach
• Streamlined candidate screening and evaluation

Companies using the platform report a reduction in recruitment cycles from weeks to days, with up to 80% shorter time-to-hire.

"Our AI-recruitment platform automates sourcing, screening, outreach—even interview evaluation—matching retrenched professionals and passive talent in under a minute," said Kevin Gao, Founder and CEO of Fuku AI. "We're helping companies find the right people, right now—without the delays of traditional hiring methods."

Fuku AI is gaining traction as a cost-effective alternative to legacy hiring platforms, appealing to both SMEs and larger enterprises seeking AI in HR technologies to manage high-volume or specialized hiring needs.

Despite current disruptions in the job market, Fuku AI positions itself as a vital force in accelerating employment recovery. The platform's mission is to support both displaced professionals and growing companies—delivering future-ready hiring tools for a future-ready workforce.
