Utilizing the data obtained from this experiment, the companies will verify the business feasibility of using TalentRecipe to improve the effectiveness of their recruiting process and the growing demand for engineers, as well as the technical feasibility of using the data to conduct multilingual and multiregional recruiting evaluations.

YOKOHAMA, Japan, March 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — TalentRecipe (Headquarters: Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan; President: Takatsugu Kobayashi) is expanding its SaaS tool globally, using psychological approaches and AI technology including GPT, to deal with the global shortage of engineers and project managers who can immediately address the increasing demand for business development and product development using technology. While proceeding with a demonstration experiment in Japan, we are also launching a demonstration experiment (the “Demonstration Experiment”) with AlifTech, a company headquartered in Uzbekistan (population 36 million), located in Central Asia, where the IT industry is developing at a dizzying pace.

Many recruiters struggle with assessing candidates’ skills and business acumen during hiring. Inexperienced recruiters may lack impartiality, and incomplete or dishonest resumes can lead to mismatches. The era has come to end such inefficient talent evaluation with data and AI.

In anticipation of the growing global need for technology-enabled product development and intensifying global competition for talent, this experiment will verify the economics of using generative AI to improve the efficiency of talent acquisition operations and the quality of talent evaluations.

The data obtained from TalentRecipe will be used to enhance the quality of evaluations in English and Russian, and will be expanded to non-engineering positions and periodic post-hire evaluations.

◼️Changes in issues to acquire talents

As competition intensifies, there is an increasing need to directly link recruitment to business strategy from a medium- to long-term perspective, rather than simply hiring personnel to fill in. As competition intensifies, there is an increasing need to directly link recruitment to business strategy from a medium- to long-term perspective, rather than simply hiring personnel to fill in. We can solve the following problems that may arise in the hiring and evaluation of human resources

(1) Skills and experience are changing as the market changes, and it is difficult to respond with only your own talents.

Recruitment is not just about getting candidates to join your company, but also about having them contribute to increasing your corporate value over the long term. The fact is that the career plan after joining a company may not match what you were told about the company during the hiring process, which can increase the turnover rate. Especially for engineering positions, it is difficult to catch up on what skills and experience are needed due to the rapid changes in technology, so job postings and company introductions cannot be updated in a timely manner, resulting in missed hiring opportunities.

(2) Recruitment and evaluation is a bottleneck due to the lack of efficiency due to the expansion of the business.

In an increasingly competitive world, there is a growing need for a high level of expertise in areas such as engineering and a diverse range of experience to compete on the global stage. Naturally, corporate recruiters have to understand these changing times in depth and have to be prepared with expertise in order to be selected as a candidate. However, while it is difficult to increase the number of recruiting staff, concentrating recruiting efforts on highly specialized members of the team can reduce the efficiency of the original work process, and a hiring evaluation that is too personable can also result in variations in quality and missed hiring opportunities.

(3) It is difficult to acquire appropriate talent when information as expected is not conveyed in the resumes or CVs alone.

To increase the probability of hiring, it is important to judge the authenticity and accuracy of both JDs and CVs. However, the more highly specialized the position, the more practical skills are required. While there are many coding tests that measure practical skills such as programming and development implementation skills, hiring companies need to be flexible and create a variety of evaluation processes depending on the position they are hiring for. In addition to the evaluation process, the company must also be able to confirm the alignment between the individual’s career goals and the goals of the company and its products.

◼️About our product

In the midst of a pervasive talent shortage, recruiters are diligently reviewing countless resumes and CVs daily to find the necessary talent. Although many rely on Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to streamline the hiring process, decision-making within the recruitment process tends to become overly dependent on individuals, leading to variability in hiring decisions as recruiters change. However, by utilizing TalentRecipe, it’s possible to seamlessly advance the recruitment of globally dispersed talent with uniform evaluation criteria within an organization or according to regional rules, eliminating inconsistencies. TalentRecipe enables the discovery of candidates whose language skills may be lacking but who possess impeccable technical abilities and domain knowledge on a global scale. We believe that by broadening the scope of talent recruitment and ensuring appropriate talent matching, we can significantly reduce turnover rates.

Bioethanol from human hair – Indian start-up’s solution to rising prices of grains and sugar

Published

on

By

GUJARAT, India, Oct. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In what could be called the beginning of the 5G (fifth-generation) of bioethanol or non-cellulosic bioethanol or non-sugar-based biofuels, an Indian start-up, Techofest Global, based out of Gujarat, has developed its own, indigenous, and patented technology for the production of bioethanol from waste human hair. Such processes would significantly reduce the employment of sugars, grains, and agricultural residues, which form the classical first- and second-generation bioethanol feedstocks. As a result, the rising fuel-vs.-food/fodder debate is anticipated to reduce, and instead, ethanol produced from municipal/industrial waste, after trials, can supplement the current supply being used as blends with presently retailed fossil fuels (E20, E27, etc.). 

As stated by Dr. Ravi, the founder-CEO of Techofest Global, the strategic priority and the USP of the start-up is industrial symbiosis, which, typically, involves an ecosystem of up-cycling/valorising the effluents of an industry, thereby creating a value-chain for residues often lacking an end-of-life. With more than three decades of experience in designing customized nuclear fusion reactors for international programmes, such as ITER, JET/UKAEA and SST-1, Dr. Ravi, a seasoned mechanical engineer, spearheads the start-up’s patented technologies’ scale-up and commercialization.

Two biochemical engineers, Dr. Navnit – the former CTO, and Dr. Kabilan – the former CEO of Biomakerz, Chennai, are the brains behind the current technology/process portfolio of the joint-venture between Techofest Global and Biomakerz. They have been working on biorefineries’ process intensification for more than a decade. “Having foreseen the fuel-vs-fodder/food competition as early as the year 2015, we began developing techno-economically feasible and viable in-vitro metabolically-engineered bioprocesses for scaling-up ethanol production from municipal waste streams between 2019–2021”, says Navnit. After developing operational technologies for international biofuel organizations, serving process engineer roles with certain biorefineries-related OMC R&D’s of India, Dr. Navnit, presently works for a premier academic institution.

An on-going fermentation trial at the Techofest Global-Biomakerz JV’s R&D facility

Techofest Global has developed and tested, in its R&D JV’s pilot-facility of ~100-L, 3 innovative and cost-effective technologies, such as 5G ethanol production using human hair, used cooking oil (UCO), and enriched bio-methane production from disposed sanitary napkins.

“With massive CapEx and OpEx, 2G ethanol technology is facing a major commercialization bottleneck, owing to competition with food/livestock fodder, requirement of a cost-intensive pre-treatment procedure, and the requirement of cellulolytic cocktails, which have a poor recycle efficiency. The proprietary 5G SAFE process developed for the start-up circumvents the mentioned constraints, and instead, utilizes a single-stage saccharification followed by fermentation, and records over 85–90% biocatalyst recovery. Likewise, the proprietary SIM process for bio-methane production, exclusively developed for the start-up, is 2x faster with improved intermittent feeding cycles and continuous gas harvest”, says Navnit.

“With on-going pre-commercialization trials, the proprietary ethanol and bio-methane processes of ours are soon being commercialized”, says Ms. Bhumika, the co-founder and the corporate advisor of the start-up. Furthermore, Mr. Ronak pilots the organization’s global market entry and commercialization frontier.

Techofest Global’s veteran Principal Technology Advisors include: Dr VS Tripathi, former Joint Director, DRDE Gwalior, Dr B S Munjal, former Director, Structures and Thermal group, SAC/ISRO, Academician and Advisor CIKS-Dharohar, GTU, and Dr AV Santhanababu, former Scientist at Satish Dhawan Space Centre. With on-going R&D activities, Dr. Munjal says, “the start-up is striving to provide a unique solution along the lines of the Atmanirbhar and Viksit Bharat Vision 2047”.

Independent agency unveils new brand and website, and co-hosts Louisville’s PROOF AI Workshop

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RedTag, an independent Louisville-based marketing agency, this month unveiled new positioning, marking its evolution from a digital performance agency into a strategy-first marketing partner. The move comes as AI makes execution faster than ever, and RedTag is betting that strategy, not speed, is what will set businesses apart. Clients can now choose from outcome-based programs that best fit their marketing needs. 

“Clients don’t come to us needing more tactics. They come to us needing a path,” said Russ Renbarger, founder and CEO of RedTag. “Our new brand says out loud what our work has shown for years: We start with strategy and build everything on that foundation.”

RedTag built its reputation on high-performing paid digital campaigns. Over the years, the agency expanded into strategy, creative, video production and website development, giving clients one partner for the full scope of their marketing. Most recently, a team of automation specialists has integrated AI across the agency to speed up production and analysis, guided by an internal AI policy that keeps people accountable for quality. The time AI saves goes back into strategy: knowing what to say, who to say it to and why.

“Our best client relationships have always been partnerships, where we’re in the room when the big decisions get made,” said Alison Conway, chief client officer at RedTag. “This evolution is about bringing that strategic partnership to every client.”

On Oct. 14, RedTag co-hosted the PROOF AI Workshop with Slingshot, Vsimple and Advanced Business Solutions. The hands-on event gave Louisville business leaders practical experience applying AI to their own work. RedTag led the event’s AI in Marketing and Branding track, with four sessions ranging from AI search optimization to a playbook for adopting AI across an organization.

“AI can produce hundreds of ads in an afternoon, but it can’t tell you which one your brand actually needs and why,” Renbarger said. “The faster the tools get, the more valuable human-led strategy becomes.”

RedTag was named the agency of record for the Commonwealth of Kentucky in 2025. Its client list includes PGA of America, Castle & Key Distillery, Bourbon Barrel Foods, ShopCaterpillar and American Beverage Marketers. Since 2023, RedTag’s work has received two Emmy Awards and more than 35 ADDY and AIGA awards. The agency is a four-time Louisville Business First Fast 50 honoree and was named one of the 2026 Best Places to Work in Kentucky.
