Project Overview
Recruitment teams receive thousands of resumes for every open position, making manual screening slow, inconsistent, and prone to bias. Traditional keyword-based filters often fail to identify the most suitable candidates, leading to missed talent and delayed hiring decisions.
We developed an AI Resume Screening & Ranking System using Machine Learning to automatically analyze resumes, evaluate candidate relevance, and rank profiles based on job requirements. The system enabled recruiters to focus on high-potential candidates while reducing manual screening effort.
Business Challenges
The recruitment organization faced several hiring challenges:
- High volume of resumes for each job opening
- Manual screening consuming recruiter time
- Inconsistent shortlisting criteria across recruiters
- Keyword-based filters missing relevant candidates
- Longer hiring cycles affecting business needs
- Difficulty scaling recruitment operations
These challenges reduced hiring efficiency and candidate experience.
What We Delivered
We delivered a machine learning–driven resume screening solution:
- Automated resume parsing and feature extraction
- ML-based candidate-job matching
- Skill, experience, and role relevance scoring
- Resume ranking based on hiring priorities
- Bias-aware scoring mechanisms
- Recruiter dashboards for shortlist visibility
The solution transformed resume screening into a structured, data-driven process.
Proposed Architecture & Design
The system architecture was designed for accuracy and scalability:
- Resume ingestion and parsing pipelines
- Feature engineering for skills, experience, and roles
- Supervised and ranking-based ML models
- Scoring and ranking engine
- API-based integration with ATS platforms
- Secure cloud-based deployment
This ensured consistent and explainable candidate evaluation.
Results & Business Impact
- 65% reduction in resume screening time
- Faster candidate shortlisting
