Overview

TalentPulse is an HR SaaS company serving mid-market and enterprise companies in India. We built their next-generation platform that uses AI to transform recruitment—from sourcing and screening to interview scheduling and offer management—while providing people analytics that help HR leaders make data-driven workforce decisions.

The Problem

Recruitment is broken: recruiters spend 80% of time on administrative tasks instead of candidate relationships. Companies lose great candidates to slow processes. New hires quit within 6 months because of poor job-person fit. HR leaders fly blind without data on what makes employees successful or likely to leave.

Understanding the complexity

Key Challenges

1

Recruiter Overload

Each requisition received 200+ applications. Recruiters couldn't screen all resumes thoroughly. Great candidates got lost in the pile. Manual scheduling coordination took hours per interview. Recruiters were glorified administrators instead of talent advisors.

2

Poor Candidate-Job Matching

Keyword matching missed qualified candidates with non-traditional backgrounds. Hard to assess cultural fit before hiring. Interview feedback was unstructured and inconsistent. Bad hires were expensive—3-6 months salary to replace.

3

Slow Hiring Process

Average time-to-hire was 45+ days. Candidates dropped out due to slow feedback. Multiple interview rounds without coordination. Offer letters created manually for each hire.

4

Workforce Visibility Gap

No data on what makes employees successful in each role. Attrition predictions came after resignation. Succession planning was gut-feel based. Diversity metrics tracked but not actionable.

What we built for the client

Solution Highlights

AI Candidate Matching

Semantic understanding of skills and experience, not just keywords. Matches candidates to roles based on success patterns of top performers. Surfaces hidden gems from non-traditional backgrounds.

Automated Screening

AI screens resumes, sends skill assessments, and conducts initial video interviews. Recruiters focus on qualified candidates only. Response time drops from days to hours.

Interview Copilot

Automated scheduling across all participants. Structured interview guides for consistency. AI captures feedback and flags potential bias. Interview summaries generated from recordings.

Predictive HR Analytics

Early warning for attrition risk. Success profiles for each role guide hiring and development. Skills gap analysis informs L&D investments. Real-time diversity metrics.

Technical Deep Dive

The candidate matching system uses a two-tower neural network architecture trained on historical hiring data, learning embeddings for both job descriptions and candidate profiles. Similarity is computed in this shared embedding space, enabling semantic matching beyond keyword overlap. The resume parser uses a combination of NER models and LLMs to extract structured data from varied formats including PDFs with complex layouts. Attrition prediction uses survival analysis models with features from engagement patterns, compensation data, manager interactions, and external market signals. Interview summarization uses Whisper for transcription and GPT-4 for extractive summarization with bias detection prompts.
