Client Background
Our client, a leading manufacturer of grey cement, ready-mix concrete, and white cement, operates multiple plants across India and in several international markets. Known for their commitment to operational excellence and innovation, the client was seeking to enhance their HR recruitment processes. Given the scale of their operations, they required an AI-powered solution to automate and streamline the candidate screening, evaluation, and hiring process.
Business Problem / Objective
The client faced several challenges in their recruitment process, including manual CV screening, interview preparation, and candidate evaluation. These time-consuming tasks often led to delays in identifying the right candidates and increased the time-to-hire. Managing large volumes of CVs was cumbersome, and the existing system lacked advanced search and comparison capabilities. The client needed a solution that could automate these processes, improve accuracy in candidate matching, and provide actionable insights for HR teams to make faster, more informed hiring decisions.
Solution
We developed a tool, an AI-driven recruitment platform designed to automate key tasks such as CV screening, interview preparation, and candidate management. The solution leverages OpenAI’s GPT models, Azure AI Search, and Azure services to streamline the entire recruitment process, from analyzing CVs to generating interview questions.
Key features of the solution include:
- Automated CV Screening: SkillSpotter analyzes external and internal CVs against job descriptions (JDs) to rank candidates based on their skills, experience, and qualifications, significantly reducing the time spent on manual screening.
- Interview Assistance: The system generates tailored interview questions based on the CVs and JDs, ensuring interviews focus on the most relevant aspects of each candidate’s profile.
- CV Repository: CVs are stored in a centralized repository, organized by department-specific folders, making it easy for recruiters to retrieve and compare CVs.
- Advanced Semantic Search: Using Azure AI Search, the system performs semantic searches to retrieve the most relevant CVs, even when the terminology in the CVs and JDs differs.
- CV Comparison: HR professionals can compare multiple CVs side-by-side to identify the best-fit candidates for specific roles.
- Real-Time Analytics and Dashboard: The platform features a master dashboard that provides real-time insights into recruitment metrics, CV analysis, and vertical-wise recruitment data.
