How Kraken HR leverages AI to hire and employee experience

By Pranesh Anthapur, Chief Human Resources Officer of Kraken

As one of the most trusted cryptographic platforms in the world, we employ innovation not only in cryptography, but also in the way we manage and support our employees, Krakenites. AI is an element of HR strategy, making more data-driven decisions, enhancing candidate experience and continually improving crakenite engagement.

Let’s take a look at how you use AI in your recruitment process. The future of recruitment is in line with our belief that AI should be embraced, but not determined by it.

AI-powered employment: efficiency without losing human touch

First of all: Kraken uses AI to not make “yes” or “no” decisions regarding employment. You will not be hired or rejected based on AI decisions. What AI does is to get rid of the noise. This will allow you to focus on the best talent.

Our recruitment and recruitment team continues to review each applicant individually. Attracting and recruiting the world’s top talent (Krakenights who live in over 70 countries) is important in the fast mobile industry like cryptography. AI helps streamline this process without sacrificing the personal touch, an integral part of Kraken’s culture.

AI during screening: Help us find the best, faster

If you’re the best candidate, don’t worry because AI works for you, not against you. This approach not only improves efficiency, but also removes bias from the process. Free our team to allocate more time to White Glove recruitment practices, improving both recruiter productivity and the overall experience of candidates (if you’re going through the recruitment process at Kraken, you’ll find it really is a 6 star).

Crypto jobs are in high demand, and Kraken is flooded with thousands of applications for all open roles. Instead of slipping through the cracks on good candidates, use AI to enhance the screening process. ai helps us:

• Quickly spot top candidates by analyzing skills, experience and qualifications
• Craft fair job descriptions that attract diverse talent pools
• Free recruiters and focus on high-five, personalized recruitment

result? Merit-first adoption machine that will get the right people at the door without unnecessary delays or bureaucratic nonsense.

AI during interview: No exchange, strengthening

What uses AI:

Deart Transcription and analysis of interviews for deep insights
Optimize job description to attract top talent
Comperive Identify key capabilities and trends for fair employment decisions

Those that do not use AI:

Make a yes/no employment decision
❌Conducting an interview

Be authentic – bad hiring processes waste everyone’s time. AI reduces inefficiency and allows recruiters and employment managers to focus on what’s really important.

Instead of dropping notes or missing key moments, interviewers are now fully present. AI helps transcription and analyse interviews, find trends, highlight key capabilities, and ensure objectivity and fairness.

AI helps Kraken recruiting teams not waste their time. Or theirs.

Using AI to identify key capabilities and trends can help ensure that your recruitment process is fair, consistent and focused on finding the best talent. Our goal? An efficient, unbiased, and fast, truly merit-based hiring process. The employment process takes more than three months to finish? no thanks.

AI for employee engagement: Keep Krakenites happy

At Kraken, we don’t believe in reactive HR. We believe we get through real-time insights, positive improvements, and corporate noise and understand what really matters to people.

Through AI-driven research analysis, we gain real-time insights into how team members feel about their work, leadership and overall experience at Kraken. Rather than relying solely on human-sorted research, AI allows for faster digestion of trends and emotional changes, ensuring that concerns are addressed actively and without bias.

By leveraging NLP and sentiment analysis, you can extract meaningful patterns from open-ended feedback, surveys, anonymous forms, chat, and more, improve policies, strengthen happiness initiatives, and foster a positive workplace culture. There are no point in findings that collect dust in a spreadsheet.

Future: ai x hr = smarter kraken

AI is not slowing down, and we are not slowing down either. We are already looking ahead:

• Personalized learning, development and career support with AI
• Predictive analysis that predicts employment forecasts and informed decisions
• Faster, fairer, more attractive HR process

But let’s be clear: people make Kraken, not ai. AI is another tool for our Arsenal. This makes us sharper, faster and more innovative.

At Kraken, we do not use AI to enhance human decision-making and replace it. This is because the future of HR is not something that robots will take over. It’s about using the best technology to build the best team.

And we don’t do that otherwise.
