HireScreen AI

AI-Powered Resume Screening & Interview Scheduling Platform for Lean HR Teams

Version 1.0 | Author: Devraj Yadav

Executive Summary

<aside> 💡

"HireScreen AI is a fully functional, AI-native resume screening and interview scheduling platform built for small and mid-sized companies. It takes a batch of PDF resumes and a job description, runs each candidate through a two-stage Gemini AI evaluation pipeline, and delivers a structured screening report with ATS score, JD match percentage, skills analysis and a hiring recommendation — in under 90 seconds per resume. HR can then schedule a Google Meet interview with one click. What previously took 14 days now takes under 2 hours."

Problem Statement

<aside> 💡

"Small and mid-sized companies receive hundreds of unstructured resume files for every open role but lack the HR staff, time, and budget to screen them effectively. Great candidates are missed due to human fatigue. Top talent accepts competing offers during slow scheduling cycles. HR managers spend the majority of their week on low-judgment admin tasks instead of strategic hiring decisions. The problem is not a lack of candidates — it is a lack of capacity to evaluate them fairly and fast."

Supporting Evidence

A 50-person tech company hiring 10 engineers per year spends approximately $500,000 in direct costs and lost productivity
HR managers spend 10–13 hours manually screening resumes for a single role — quality degrades sharply after hour 3
Scheduling one interview takes 4–7 days of calendar back-and-forth — top candidates are off the market in 10 days
50% of candidates ghost employers due to slow communication during the screening process
Enterprise screening tools like Paradox cost $1,000+/month — out of reach for companies under 50 people

User Persona

👩 Sarah — Talent Acquisition Manager

Solo HR manager or founder at a 10–50 person tech company
Responsible for entire hiring pipeline with no dedicated sourcing team
Receives 250+ resumes per open role
Spends 10–13 hours manually screening per role
Cannot justify enterprise tool costs
Loses top candidates to faster-moving competitors

JTBD: "Get from job posting to a shortlist of qualified candidates in 2 days, not 14 — without reading a single PDF herself."
