Case Study · Global IT Services Enterprise

2,000 resumes screened in 48 hours.

A leading global IT services firm ran a large-scale hiring evaluation — roughly 20 recruiters across multiple sourcing channels. SkillIQ HIRE — the Hiring Intelligence & Recruitment Engine — compressed an initial screening cycle that previously took about a month down to 48 hours, without giving up human judgment or control.

The Challenge

High volume, high coordination, high hidden cost.

2,000 resumes required significant recruiter and stakeholder effort across screening, shortlisting, assessments, follow-ups, result consolidation, SME validation and candidate progression. Candidate information was fragmented across resumes, emails, spreadsheets and separate tools — and the real cost wasn't just recruitment spend, it was the professional capacity consumed to process, coordinate and evaluate every candidate.

The Opportunity
Reduce repetitive processing
Connect candidate evidence
Accelerate evaluation
Focus humans on judgment
What SkillIQ HIRE Did

One engine across the candidate evaluation journey.

AI handled the volume — processing, evaluation, ranking and workflow coordination. HIRE organized the evidence into one connected workflow, while recruiters, SMEs and hiring managers retained the judgment on every consequential decision.

Results & Quality Control

Faster — and validated.

Speed only counts if quality holds. Every one of the 2,000 candidates was manually validated against an 85% business-defined benchmark, and no obviously unsuitable candidate was highly ranked during validation.

Method & constraints: ATS connectivity was not yet enabled for this engagement, so resumes were uploaded manually in batches of ~100. Effort and person-hour figures are modeled and illustrative for the 2,000-resume use case and will vary by workflow and stakeholder involvement. Candidate-identifying PII was excluded from AI evaluation.

Process less. Evaluate better. Hire with confidence.
