Overcoming Resume Screening Inefficiencies with AI Agents-Powered Intelligent Process Automation
The HR department faced major inefficiencies in manually screening resumes, which significantly slowed down the hiring process. Recruiters had to sift through hundreds of resumes for each job posting, leading to delayed candidate shortlisting and inconsistent selection criteria.
The process was not only time-consuming but also prone to human error, causing potential misclassification of highly qualified candidates. Additionally, the lack of integration between different HR tools made it difficult to manage resumes efficiently. As hiring demands grew, it became clear that a scalable, intelligent solution was required to standardize resume screening while reducing manual effort and improving accuracy.
Though strategic process automation powered by
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and LLM models were previously implemented, they still had shortcomings, such as:
- Error Handling: Screening resumes using LLM Models led to inconsistencies in extraction and failed activities causing delay in execution.
- Structured Extraction: Resumes extraction needs to be in structured formats, making it challenging to extract in consistent structured format.
- Inaccuracy: The extracted data was not always accurate [10-15% Inaccurate] might require human intervention.
To address these limitations, Accelirate deployed a next level AI-powered resume screening solution leveraging UiPath AI Agents and
Agentic Automation to improve efficiency, speed, accuracy, scalability, and decision-making. The following solutions were introduced:
01- Process Development in UiPath Studio Web
- Document Parsing: Leveraged UiPath’s Agent Builder capabilities to extract information from resumes, including candidate name, contact details, skills, education, and experience.
- Keyword Matching: Configured workflows to identify job-specific keywords and rank resumes based on relevance.
02 - Deployment to UiPath Web App
