HR in the AI Era: Komodor’s Approach to Embracing Technological Change
In an exclusive interview with CTech, Yogev Goldis, VP HR at Komodor, shares how the company is leveraging AI to revolutionize HR practices. Komodor, a Dev-Tool company founded in 2020, has raised $67 million in funding and currently employs 80 staff members across Tel Aviv, the US, and EMEA.
Goldis explains that AI has not disrupted Komodor’s operations negatively; instead, it has enhanced the HR team’s capabilities, allowing them to scale their impact without proportionally increasing resources. The company uses various AI-powered tools to streamline recruitment, improve candidate engagement, and automate tasks.
Revolutionizing Recruitment with AI
Komodor employs AI-driven tools like Team.Me, a chatbot integrated into their career site, which acts as a virtual recruiting assistant. This tool increases engagement with potential candidates and improves the likelihood of applications. Another tool, Mokka, automates the initial screening phase by gathering candidate information and inviting structured input through audio, text, or video.
Enhancing Employer Branding and Employee Development
AI is also used to boost employer branding by creating high-quality video and graphic content. The company is set to launch an initiative training employees to use ChatGPT as a personal development coach, making professional growth tools more accessible.
The Impact of AI on Workforce and Operations
While AI has not replaced human labor at Komodor, it has significantly improved efficiency in tasks such as sourcing, screening, and content creation. The company is preparing for growth while maintaining healthy processes and culture. Despite global market uncertainty and the ongoing security situation affecting some employees, Komodor plans to continue its hiring and growth plans.
Future Plans and Adaptability
Goldis emphasizes the importance of treating AI as a teammate rather than a threat. By doing so, organizations can future-proof their teams by teaching employees to use AI as a daily productivity partner. This approach enables teams to be more efficient, creative, and productive.
As Komodor looks to the future, the company is focused on scaling its business while maintaining a healthy, high-performing culture. With AI as an integral part of its operations, Komodor is poised to navigate the challenges of the evolving technological landscape effectively.
