AI-Powered Resume Screening Platform

Manual CV reviews were consuming 6–8 hours per open role and still producing inconsistent shortlists. We replaced the process with an NLP pipeline that ranks 500+ applications in under 3 minutes, strips demographic bias from scoring, and surfaces explainable candidate rankings directly inside the team's existing ATS. Speed-to-shortlist dropped by 70%.

The Challenge

The client — a Series A recruitment firm with 18 recruiters — faced unsustainable manual CV review against high application volumes, with no objective, repeatable scoring methodology.

  • 6–8 hours of manual CV review per open role
  • Inconsistent evaluation standards between recruiters
  • Keyword-only ATS that missed strong, differently-worded candidates
  • High application volumes of 500–2,000 per role
  • No objective, auditable scoring methodology

Our Solution

Aavyalabs designed and delivered an NLP screening engine that parses any resume format, scores candidates semantically against the job description, removes demographic bias, and pushes explainable rankings back into the recruiter's existing ATS.

  • Ranked shortlist for 500+ applications in under 3 minutes
  • Explainable scores recruiters can audit and override
  • Bias mitigation that strips demographic identifiers before scoring
  • Bi-directional ATS sync inside the existing workflow
