Why Genesislab's Interviewer Agent Is Aimed at the In-Person Interview Market

Genesislab plans to launch an “interviewer agent” in the second half of the year. While the existing ViewinterHR was a support tool for interviews, the new service pushes further: an AI that can ask follow-up questions the way a human interviewer would. The target is the in-person interview market, worth roughly 460 billion won. Genesislab’s current share there is under 10 percent.

CEO Young-bok Lee, in his interview with The Bell, put trust at the center of the strategy. In April, Genesislab became the first AI company in Korea to receive the government’s AI Trustworthiness Certification (CAT), passing all four assessable criteria — fairness, accountability, safety, and transparency. Hiring is classified as a high-risk AI domain because it affects a person’s livelihood, and related legislation is already moving through the Korean National Assembly. If the rules tighten, the certification will function as an entry barrier.

Evidence of that trust is concrete. During a National Assembly audit, Kangwon Land ran 300 interview videos through ViewinterHR alongside six human interviewers. The correlation coefficient came out to 0.8. In the industry, anything above 0.35 is considered a strong signal for human-assessment tools.

The customer count grew by 30 in the first half alone, reaching 142. Revenue is expected to rise from 20 billion won last year to as much as 40 billion this year. Genesislab has also entered the employee-evaluation market, a diversification move aimed at reducing the revenue risk that comes with hiring-cycle volatility.
