SonicJobs CEO Mikhil Raja on Using AI Agents to Connect the Internet, starting with Jobs - Ep. 233

Companies in the US spend $15bn annually on talent acquisition. The most important metric in recruitment advertising is the conversion from the paid click on the job platform to the application the employer receives. Industry-wide, apply conversion is just 5%. Redirection of the candidate from the job platform to the company site is the biggest cause of abandonment; this step has a 70% bounce rate. In this episode of NVIDIA’s AI Podcast, host Noah Kravitz speaks with Mikhil Raja, Cofounder and CEO of SonicJobs, about how they have built AI Agents to enable candidates to complete applications directly on job platforms, without redirection, boosting completion rates to 26% from 5%. Raja delves deep into SonicJobs’ cutting-edge technology, which merges traditional AI with large language models (LLMs) to understand and interact with job application web flows. He also emphasizes the importance of fine-tuning foundational models to achieve more impactful and scalable innovations. SonicJobs is a member of the NVIDIA Inception program for startups.

Behind every major shift in how we live and work, there's a story about the technology that made it possible. The NVIDIA AI Podcast, produced by NVIDIA, delves into those narratives, moving beyond headlines to explore the human and technical ingenuity driving progress. Each episode connects with creators, researchers, and pioneers who are applying artificial intelligence and accelerated computing in surprising ways. You'll hear conversations that unpack complex ideas, from how AI is accelerating scientific discovery in medicine and climate science to its role in reimagining creative industries and building more sustainable systems. This isn't about abstract futures; it's a grounded look at the tools and collaborations solving real-world problems today. The discussions are crafted to be accessible, offering clarity on transformative topics without oversimplifying the profound work being done.
