Challenges
Our client faced various issues that?affected recruitment efficiency. This manual screening process is extremely tedious?and since HR personnel would spend hours screening resumes, they had less time to focus on other important things like candidate engagement and interviewing. The screening process itself had lot of?discrepancies because when different recruiter had different criteria in their mind, obviously they were missing on the right candidates.
Moreover, the rapid expansion of the company had?resulted in a sudden increase with job openings, which directly reflected the workload for HR employees. Those delays and inconsistencies led to the organization struggling to fill roles in a timely manner, missing opportunities to put top talent on the team in?competitive markets. Also, there was no centralised system that could?assist in structuring applicant data, complicating the movement of candidates through the hiring process.
Solution
To overcome these challenges, we introduced?an automated solution leveraging Power Automate RPA with a view to optimize recruitment by automating the process Screen candidate resumes and improving accuracy and execution. Power Automate was used to extract important information like names, skills,?experience, and qualifications directly out of the incoming resumes. It used predefined?criteria to assess the suitability of candidates for specific roles and rank those applications accordingly.
The solution integrated Power?Automate with Microsoft Excel and SharePoint, allowing the HR team to manage all applicant data in one place. Automated alerts were also set up, signalling to hiring managers when qualified candidates were found, which ultimately led to faster follow-ups and?increased potential hire engagement. The workflows defined as per?the specific use cases and scenarios complemented their internal recruitment processes exactly, achieving a seamless shift to automation without impacting existing operations.
