The list of challenges included –

High volumes of resumes: Our client struggled with managing a large influx of resumes. It was time-consuming and overwhelming for their hiring teams to review each one manually.
Identifying specialized skills: Finding candidates with the specific skills required by various industries posed a significant challenge, requiring a more efficient and accurate method of skill identification.
Mitigating unconscious bias: Unconscious bias during the candidate evaluation process could lead to unfair outcomes and compromise diversity and inclusivity, necessitating a solution that promotes fairness and equal opportunities.
Ensuring efficient evaluation processes: Inconsistent evaluation processes resulted in inefficiencies and subjective decision-making, hindering the selection of the most suitable candidates.
Repetitive candidate inquiries: Candidates often had frequent questions throughout the application process, resulting in repetitive inquiries that needed manual responses, causing delays and inefficiencies.
Limited skill development opportunities: Rejected candidates were not provided with personalized feedback or guidance for skill development, limiting their potential for future opportunities.
