Sumareju Launches Real-Time Interview AI With Official PORTERS Integration
The product targets two field problems Sumareju names directly: the 30 minutes to 1 hour of record-keeping per interview that eats into advisor time, and the variation in interview quality between individual advisors.

Sumareju Inc. released Sumareju Tonari, a real-time interview support AI for career advisors at recruitment and staffing agencies, offered since May 2026. The tool transcribes interview audio, classifies key points into company-defined hearing items, suggests follow-up questions during the conversation, and generates a summary that is reflected into the PORTERS recruitment management system as an official integration partner.
The stated problem is not one of effort. Sumareju frames it as three things happening at once: rookies stop at "What is your reason for changing jobs" and never reach the candidate's real motivation; veterans' questioning methods stay tacit and leave the organization when they do; and post-interview data entry consumes 30 minutes to 1 hour per interview, or 2.5 to 5 hours on a five-interview day. The AI addresses each: structuring key points into company-defined items as the conversation runs, suggesting follow-up questions in real time, and completing a summary at the moment the interview ends.
