Unified web application to automate internal hiring, streamline workflows, and enhance candidate experience by eliminating manual resume reviews and inconsistent shortlisting.
Overview
An online job portal under the Karnataka government was facing internal recruitment challenges due to fragmented systems, manual resume reviews, and inconsistent shortlisting. The client required a centralized platform to streamline recruitment, automate resume screenings, and improve overall decision-making speed. Zerozilla developed a fully custom solution that automated candidate matching and provided real-time insights for HR teams.
The solution improved efficiency by reducing the time-to-hire, standardizing the shortlisting process, and ensuring fairness through automation. A sleek, responsive React-based UI ensured that all employees, hiring managers, and HR staff could interact with the system seamlessly.
Problem
The client faced fragmented recruiting processes spread across spreadsheets, shared drives, and email communications, which were inefficient and led to inconsistent candidate shortlists. Hiring managers spent several hours manually screening resumes, resulting in delays and a poor candidate experience. Additionally, internal talent was often overlooked due to the lack of a structured, automated mechanism to surface the best-fit applicants.
The absence of a centralized system made it difficult for hiring managers to post jobs, review applications, and ensure a fair evaluation process. With no automated shortlisting engine, many candidates were lost in the shuffle, leading to missed opportunities for internal talent growth.
The project kicked off with understanding the client’s pain points around manual recruiting and long time-to-hire. Zerozilla worked closely with HR teams to define the essential features and automated functionalities needed.
