| Solution Name | Lantern AI: Conversational AI Interviewer |
Lantern AI is a SaaS conversational AI recruiter that automates early-stage screening and scheduling for employers. We solve four common pain points:
(1) CV inflation makes resume screening unreliable and time-consuming;
(2) aptitude tests often fail to reflect communication ability and how outspoken a candidate is in real conversations;
(3) asynchronous video interviews frequently deliver poor candidate experience and low completion rates; and
(4) traditional CV and phone screening prolongs time-to-hire and burdens recruiters.
Lantern AI conducts adaptive interviews by analysing CVs, asking follow up questions, scoring answers against predefined criteria, handling candidate questions, and produces instant AI summaries. This allows hiring teams to quickly identify suitable candidates while maintaining transparency and standardised assessment.
Our clients include Baker McKenzie, Sino Group, Gammon Construction, CityU HRO, Poly HRO.For public sector organisations handling high-volume or multilingual recruitment, Lantern AI helps hiring teams shortlist faster, standardise evaluation, and reduce recruiter workload – without turning decisions into a black box.

Lantern AI helps government teams hire suitable staff faster with less manual effort, which directly supports service delivery for frontline, contract, internship, and graduate roles.
By automating first-round conversational interviews and shortlisting, departments can fill vacancies more quickly and maintain adequate staffing levels without increasing recruiter workload.Instead of relying heavily on CV screening and aptitude tests, Lantern AI conducts structured conversational interviews that assess communication skills, role understanding, and real-time responses. All candidates are evaluated using the same predefined criteria and interview logic, ensuring consistent and auditable assessments.
The conversational format improves candidate experience by reducing long waiting times and manual follow-ups, which often lead to drop-off or ghosting. Compared to asynchronous video interviews, it achieves higher completion rates and allows departments to engage a broader applicant pool.Lantern AI supports multilingual interviews in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, including local slang, and asks follow-up questions in real time.
This enables departments to assess real speaking ability in the required language(s) within a single interview, and allow candidates to express themselves naturally.The platform also automatically schedules face-to-face interviews by syncing with the hiring team’s calendar, removing back-and-forth coordination.
This is particularly useful for short-staffed teams, allowing recruiters to focus on decision-making rather than administrative tasks.Cost and benefit: Lantern AI is offered on a subscription basis and can be scaled based on recruitment volume.
In return, departments benefit from reduced recruiter workload, shorter hiring cycles, improved quality of shortlists, and clearer hiring justifications. Overall, this enables government teams to allocate manpower more effectively and sustain public service quality without increasing headcount.
