Challenge / Problem Statement

The recruitment industry faced multiple challenges:

  • Manual resume screening was time-consuming and error-prone.
  • Resumes came in varied formats, complicating parsing and data extraction.
  • Keyword-only searches often missed highly relevant candidates.
  • Lack of intelligent ranking reduced recruiter efficiency.
  • Hiring pipelines struggled with scalability and personalization.

Objectives

  • Automate real-time resume parsing and job description (JD) matching.
  • Ensure accurate and structured candidate data extraction.
  • Rank candidates by fitment score for faster hiring decisions.
  • Improve recruiter efficiency by reducing manual screening workload.
  • Build scalable APIs for seamless integration with existing HR platforms.

Process & Implementation

  • Preprocessed resumes (PDFs) using OpenCV & PyMuPDF.
  • Cleaned and structured data with Pandas & NumPy.
  • Integrated NLP & LLMs for semantic JD–resume matching.
  • Applied cosine similarity and ranking algorithms for candidate scoring.
  • Developed FastAPI-based REST APIs for HR dashboard integration.
  • Generated structured outputs: match scores, missing skills, and summaries.

Our Solution

We engineered an AI-powered recruitment pipeline that automated the resume-to-JD matching workflow:

  • Extracted candidate details from PDF resumes.
  • Normalized and structured candidate profiles.
  • Used ChatGPT-4 & Mini LLMs for semantic similarity with job descriptions.
  • Ranked candidates with fitment scores for recruiter review.
  • Designed APIs for scalable, real-time ATS integration.
