Jobecam

Jobecam operates a digital recruitment platform with a focus on mitigating unconscious bias in the hiring process. Founded in 2016 in Brazil by Cammila Yochabell, the company was born from her personal experiences with a frustrating job search. Yochabell, who holds a degree in oil and gas and an MBA in HR Strategy, transitioned into human resources after first working in people operations at an oil and gas company. The challenges she faced, including biases against her background and accent when relocating to São Paulo, inspired the creation of Jobecam.

The company's core offering is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform that facilitates video interviews while promoting diversity and inclusion. Jobecam serves companies of all sizes, from small businesses to large enterprises like Oracle, Accenture, and Novo Nordisk. Its business model is subscription-based, with monthly plans that vary based on the number of interviews and features included. The platform is designed to streamline the recruitment cycle, claiming to reduce hiring time by up to 80% and increase diversity in hires by as much as 70%.

Jobecam's key feature is its anonymous or "blind" interview capability. In this mode, recruiters review pre-recorded or live video interviews where the candidate's identity is concealed. This is achieved by using an avatar to hide the person's face, altering their voice, and using a nickname instead of their real name. The platform also offers anonymized resumes, which hide personal information to ensure that initial screening is based solely on skills and experience. Artificial intelligence is used to rank candidates based on their abilities and cultural fit. Recruiters only see the candidate's identity after they have been approved for the next stage. The platform supports pre-recorded interviews, live interviews, affirmative action vacancies, and integrates with existing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). Having established a presence in Brazil and several Latin American markets, Jobecam is now planning its entry into the United States.
