DNB Bank recruit for Summer internship program

Tengai success story

DNB Bank, who are on of the biggest banks in Nordic region, used Tengai to assess candidates for their 2020 Summer Internship Program. Which includes roles like Stock Analyst, Developer, Treasury Management and Analyst. Using AI in recruitment is not something scary for DNB, who already was working to push subjectivity further down the recruitment funnel. By implementing Tengai into the process when recruiting candidates for their internship program, they stayed true to their focus on equality, inclusion and diversity.

Their main recruitment challenge was attracting a large group of candidates and assessing them through a data-driven method. The interview with Tengai gave a better foundation and an objective scoring to base the hiring decisions on. In addition to an objective and fair process for all candidates. The results were an unbiased interview experience that put DNB at the forefront of recruitment.

Updating the recruitment process with AI

One of the benefits that an AI interview contributes with is that it becomes possible to push subjectivity further down the recruitment funnel, according to Tobias Bedinger who is the HR advisor at DNB Bank. 

– We all have bias and preconceived opinions that can affect us, regardless of how good we think we are at recruitment. Especially during a hiring process. To have Tengai, that is assessing each candidate in the same way, ensures that we don’t reject applicants because of our own prejudices.

Implementing Tengai as a part of the recruitment process is also in line with DNB´s ambitious goals in Sweden

– To be able to grow on the Swedish market, we had to try something new. We are already developing digital platforms for internal purposes and for big clients at DNB. The technical development we see at our partners is exciting and gives us more opportunities to grow our business.
