With the large votes for Ru'ya Careers Fair, which attracts thousands of job seekers over three days, it will be difficult for companies to select the most appropriate candidates and conduct interviews on the spot. This will allow some people to use artificial intelligence (AI) to help them select candidates.
Alia Yousef of E& explained how recruitment applications are handled using AI.
Next, AI mapping is performed. Here, the AI system analyzes the collected data to match applicants with the most appropriate position within the company. The system considers a variety of factors, including specialization, graduation date, degree type (high school, bachelor's degree, master's degree), and whether or not you have experience.

After proper locations are identified, an AI-powered assessment is conducted to determine the applicant's suitability for the required experience and skills.
“If the evaluation is passed, an immediate interview will be held at an exhibition with the hiring manager,” she added.
Recruitment will not be held immediately at the exhibition. However, E&Works facilitates the recruitment process and subsequent steps, providing opportunities for post-exhibition follow-up.
Khaleej Times I've noticed that AI is being used in a variety of ways, including hologram tubes that display digital information with AI on various departments of the organization.
There is also an AI photo booth that converts visitors' photos into cartoons with the ability to print images.
There is also a Barista robot that is generated by AI. This is a coffee making robot that prepares coffee and ice cream for visitors based on mood and topping preferences, with an interactive display on the screen.
Interview with AI Avatar
“For the first time this year, the company is conducting its first interviews for new graduates using the 'Avatar AI' system,” said Manal Matar, head of employee experience and HR digitalization (acting) at DU.
Two rooms are available for virtual interviews. There, the applicant enters the room for an interview.
Manal explained that candidates can scan QR codes to access available positions for fresh alumni and interview Khalid's avatars. The interview lasts five to 15 minutes, focusing on the behavior, interaction style and overall personality of the new candidate. “It's very easy to use and easy to use,” she added.
The AI system provides scoring and recommendations to match candidates with different roles. “Interviews will be recorded for reviews by the recruitment department, and the appropriate candidates will be invited to the second round of interviews.”
She noted that while AI interviews are available to fresh alumni, experienced applicants are interviewed directly by recruiters.
Fair AI
Similarly, Abdulziz Alfarahi, general supervisor of private sector recruitment operations at Emirati's Human Resources and Development Council, said, “When a CV is uploaded, the AI system analyzes it and identifies the most appropriate availability. After that, these opportunities are finalized and the candidates are not applied directly.
He said, “Recruiters can schedule interviews and even have in-person sessions online. In these virtual interviews, AI monitors video calls that detect potential biases from recruiters and detects lack of knowledge and skills from interviewees.
Virtual HR Agent
Previously, the Khaleej Times reported that the UAE Government Personnel Authority (FAHR) has launched a new HR AI agent designed to rethink the provision of HR services for the federal workforce. The system acts as a virtual HR and legal advisor and provides real-time, personalized support across over 100 services including legal & HR enquiries, applications, performance management, payroll and more. Voice-enabled, multilingual, and context-recognized.
HR AI agents are expected to save approximately 55,000 employees per year, reduce HR help desk inquiries by 50%, and improve efficiency in responding to policy and compliance questions.
