"하반기 채용 대세는 마이다스 AI역량검사"…주요 기업 잇달아 도입

Sep 16, 2025

"하반기 채용 대세는 마이다스 AI역량검사"…주요 기업 잇달아 도입 티웨이항공·KT클라우드·KB증권 등..."스펙 아닌 역량으로 인재 선발” 컴퓨팅 입력 :2025/09/16 16:30 2025년 하반기 채용 시즌이 본격화됐다. 주요 기업들의 공채 공고도 줄줄이 발표되고 있다. 16일 현재 ▲티웨이항공(9월 12일~22일) ▲KT클라우드(9월 8일~24일) ▲KB증권(9월 11일~25일) ▲기아(9월 15일~29일) ▲유니클로(9월 15일~30일)가 지원자 모집을 진행하고 있다. 주목할 점은 이들 기업 모두 ‘AI역량검사(역검)’를 주요 선발 도구로 채택했다는 것이다. 학벌·학점·어학성적 등으로 지원자를 평가하던 기존 방식이 실제 업무 성과와의 연관성이 떨어진다는 지적이 계속되면서, 기업들이 지원자의 실제 역량을 측정할 수 있는 새로운 평가 도구를 찾게 된 것으로 풀이된다. 1200개 이상 기업에서 활용하고 있는 ‘AI역량검사’는 2018년 국내 최초로 개발된 마이다스그룹의 인재 선발 솔루션이다. 건설 공학분야 SW 세계 1위 ‘마이다스아이티’와 HR 솔루션 분야 국내 1위 ‘마이다스인’ 등 마이다스그룹의 시뮬레이션 기술을 집약한 이 솔루션은 ▲성향파악 ▲전략게임 ▲영상면접 등 3개 과제로 구성, 지원자의 성과역량을 예측하는 것이 특징이다. '역검(역량검사)'은 자기보고식 검사와 게임화된 과제를 통해 지원자에게 다양한 자극을 체계적으로 제공한다. 지원자가 의도적으로 조작하기 어려운 즉각적 반응을 수집해 의사결정 패턴과 방향성 등의 경향성을 정밀하게 분석하고, 직무별 고성과자 데이터와 기업 인재상을 반영한 예측 모델로 성장 가능성과 직무 적합도를 수치화한다. 이는 면접관의 주관적 판단을 학습하는 기존 AI면접과 달리, 실제 고성과자들의 성과 데이터를 기반으로 평가해 편향성 문제를 근본적으로 해결할 수 있다. AI역량검사의 신뢰성은 과학적으로도 입증됐다. 지난 7월 KAIST 정일융 연구진이 국제 학술지 ‘사이언티픽 리포츠(Scientific Reports)’에 발표한 연구에서 마이다스그룹의 AI역량검사가 기존 채용 방식 중 유일하게 채용 1년 후 실제 업무 성과를 통계적으로 유의미하게 예측하는 것으로 확인됐다고 밝혔다. 실제 채용에 역검을 도입한 기업들의 평가도 긍정적이다. 유통기업 G사의 채용 담당자는 “연 4회 수천 명이 지원하는 대규모 채용에서 AI역량검사를 통해 객관적 기준으로 우선 선별한 후 면접을 진행하니 전체 채용 과정의 정확성과 효율성이 크게 향상됐다”며 “데이터 기반의 공정하고 객관적인 채용이 가능해졌다”고 말했다. 관련기사
