01 / The business problem

What was getting in the way

A small HR team spent three full working days manually reviewing more than 200 resumes for a single mid-level role.

02 / Why it mattered

Friction compounds

Manual screening slows hiring, drains the team, and makes consistent comparison against a job description harder to maintain at volume.

03 / Strategy

Design the system before the interface

Extract the real evaluation criteria first, then assess every resume against the same requirements and present decision-ready summaries instead of raw documents.

04 / The solution

One coherent way of working

An automated screening workflow that extracts job requirements, analyses resumes, scores candidate relevance, and returns a ranked shortlist with summaries.

05 / What I built

Strategy translated into infrastructure

Resume intake, document validation, text extraction, AI job configuration, candidate scoring, screening decisions, database storage, and automated interview or rejection communication.
