Jobstreet by SEEK has introduced seekAi, an AI tool built into its hiring platform to help employers find suitable candidates, screen applicants, and handle routine recruitment work.
The launch addresses a costly problem for businesses: recruiters can spend hours reviewing applications that do not match a role. Jobstreet by SEEK said employers also face limited time, complicated hiring processes, and pressure to manage costs.
“We believe that AI should make hiring better, not busier. By combining employment-specific data with agentic AI built directly into the workflow, seekAi is designed to reduce friction, improve talent matching, and give leaders more time so they can focus on what matters most: their people,” said Dannah Majarocon, managing director of Jobstreet by SEEK.
AI use in recruitment is already growing. Jobstreet’s Hiring, Compensation & Benefits Report 2025 found that 39% of employers in the Philippines use AI tools in hiring, compared with 27% across Southeast Asia. The figures suggest Philippine employers are more willing than their regional peers to use technology to fill vacancies.
Jobstreet by SEEK, an online employment marketplace, presented seekAi at its Jobstreet Connect hirer convention, which brought together more than 200 business leaders, HR practitioners, and industry decision-makers. The company said the AI engine draws on more than 25 years of employment market data and 750 million daily candidate and employer signals across Asia-Pacific.
One feature, Personalized Targeting, uses a company’s job requirements, preferences, and past hiring activity to identify candidates likely to fit a role. It also considers current signals of candidate interest. Jobstreet by SEEK said the candidates it reaches are up to five times more likely to apply, though it did not provide details on how that figure was measured.
Another feature, Assist, helps recruiters complete several steps in the hiring process. Its functions include voice interviews for initial screening, applicant ranking, reference checks, and suggestions on what a recruiter should do next. The company said employers retain control over final hiring decisions.
For businesses, the potential benefit is less time spent sorting applications and more time speaking with promising candidates. Whether the tools improve hiring outcomes will depend on how well their recommendations reflect each employer’s needs.
