About the Customer

Hire me Club is an SMB HR technology company operating in the recruitment sector, delivering sourcing, screening, shortlisting, and onboarding services for mid-market employers across multiple industries.

Business Context

The organization processes between 800 to 1,200 candidate CVs per open role while operating with a lean recruitment team. Manual candidate screening created operational bottlenecks, slowing down recruiter productivity and delaying candidate engagement.

Recruiters spent most of their time reviewing resumes manually, limiting the company's ability to scale during peak hiring periods.

Key Challenges

  • Recruiter burnout caused by repetitive manual screening tasks
  • 5 to 7 day average time-to-shortlist
  • Inconsistent candidate evaluation standards
  • Difficulty scaling recruitment operations without additional headcount
  • Growing pressure to meet customer SLA expectations

Project Goals & Objectives

The engagement focused on reducing recruiter workload, accelerating shortlist delivery, and introducing AI-driven screening consistency while maintaining auditability and human oversight.

Accelerate Shortlisting

Reduce candidate shortlist generation from 5–7 business days to under 24 hours for standard recruitment roles.

Improve Recruiter Productivity

Reduce recruiter time spent on CV screening by at least 60%, allowing teams to focus on candidate engagement and hiring decisions.

Standardize Screening Quality

Implement AI-based scoring and ranking to reduce inconsistencies and improve compliance across recruitment workflows.

Enable Scalable Hiring Operations

Support three times peak hiring volume without increasing operational headcount.
