“In principle, we automate headhunting processes. We quantify values, corporate culture, skills and personality traits to create a personalized job search experience and make it accessible to the mass market. Companies and applicants are matched not only on the basis of skills, but also on values. This creates happy working relationships and brings the right employee to the right employer.” – Dr. Annika von Mutius in the Podcast Mittelstand Reloaded from July 2, 2024.

The importance of cultural fit

Did you know that cultural fit is crucial in recruiting? AI can help companies to precisely match applicants and companies based on values, skills and personality traits. A recent study by Empion with 400 medium-sized companies has shown for the first time that cultural matching can lead to significant cost savings and efficiency gains. The study also shows that person-organization fit and target achievement correlate strongly and that AI-based technologies help to address individual needs in recruiting.

Annika von Mutius’ team behind the findings

The team behind the findings is led by Dr. Annika von Mutius. With her startup Empion, which she founded together with Dr Larissa Leitner, she is revolutionizing the recruiting process and using the advantages of artificial intelligence to bring applicants and companies together with a perfect fit. “Sourcing on the basis of culturally appropriate talent significantly increases the likelihood of successful and sustainable collaboration,” says von Mutius in an interview with Personalwirtschaft.
