BASF
BASF, a German chemical giant, is a global leader in the chemical industry.
With a wide range of products used in various sectors, from agriculture to construction, BASF is committed to sustainable innovation and responsible business practices.
Their challenge
Attracting top talent in a competitive job market is a constant challenge for large corporations like BASF.
Traditional recruitment processes are lengthy. And they often involve delayed responses, leading to a less engaging candidate experience.
Their strategy
The company developed Anilina, a chatbot powered by AI, to engage potential recruits on their website and provide instant answers to their questions.

- Automated candidate interactions: Anilina, the chatbot, is designed to handle common inquiries about job openings, application processes, and company information. This frees up human recruiters to focus on more complex conversations and personalised interactions.
- Quick and convenient responses: Candidates can receive immediate answers to their questions, reducing the time-to-hire and improving the overall candidate experience.
- Seamless transition to human interaction: For more involved conversations, candidates can easily transition from chatting with Anilina to speaking with a human representative, ensuring a seamless experience.
The results
BASF’s use of WhatsApp for recruitment has yielded several benefits:
- Improved candidate experience: By providing instant responses and a personalised touch, WhatsApp has enhanced the overall candidate experience.
- Increased engagement: WhatsApp’s accessibility and convenience have led to increased engagement from potential candidates.
- Enhanced efficiency: The chatbot has streamlined the initial screening process, allowing recruiters to focus on qualified candidates.
- Strengthened employer brand: BASF’s use of WhatsApp demonstrates its commitment to innovation and a modern approach to recruitment, positively impacting its employer brand.
