Solution Description

Tellus, an AI-powered video interview and assessment tool, transforms talent development and recruitment. Developed in Hong Kong, Tellus utilises advanced AI to screen interviews by focusing on language proficiency, fluency, and attentiveness, efficiently identifying top talent for various admissions. Its key features include personalised assessments of content, language, and presentation skills, and a unique scoring system that ranks applicants based on recorded presentations. Tellus has been recognised as a finalist in the Testing and Assessment Solution category of the EdTech Awards 2025 by EdTech Digest.

Since 2010, the EdTech Awards have celebrated innovation in education technology, with past winners including prominent organisations like Adobe, Blackboard, and SMART Technologies. We believe this recognition further highlights the value Tellus brings in improving HR recruitment processes with Artificial Intelligence. Besides hiring and EdTech, Tellus can also be applied to admissions, mental health screening, and any verbal assessment.

Use Case

While Tellus has broad applications in EdTech, Admissions, Mental Health Screening, Market Research, Verbal Assessment, Language Teaching, Big Data Collection, and Opinion Surveys, it offers significant advantages in training, hiring, and EdTech.

Interviews are often expensive, time-consuming, and subject to personal biases. According to online studies from Recruit CRM, Indeed Jobs, and Legaljob, 66% of hiring time is spent on interviews, the average cost of hiring a candidate is HKD 36,000, and an average of 250 people respond to job postings. By adopting our solution, you can:

  • Lower interview and training costs by approximately 75%.

  • Save 25-70 minutes per interview (a 20-minute Tellus interview compared to a 45-90 minute average face-to-face interview).

  • Increase interview productivity by over 200% (at least three consecutive Tellus interviews can be completed in the time of an average one-hour face-to-face interview, based on our feedback).

This number could increase to dozens or hundreds of interviews and trainings per hour. Therefore, Tellus can significantly reduce the human processing and analysis costs for hiring and evaluation teams, especially during the initial stages when you receive thousands of applications. Our platform can also help with hiring decisions in the second and third stages.
