I led the product vision, UX strategy, AI workflows, and end-to-end development of the Item Recruit Application, an advanced hiring automation platform designed to reduce manual workload for recruiters and dramatically shorten the time-to-hire.

The system fully automates candidate sourcing, screening, evaluation, interviewing, background checks, and job post distribution—all inside a single dashboard.

Impact:
✔ 60% reduction in hiring cycle time
✔ Significant reduction in recruiting labor costs
✔ Higher-quality hires through AI scoring and structured evaluation
✔ Fully automated job posting to 50+ hiring platforms

⭐ What the System Does

1. Automated Resume Scoring & AI Candidate Ranking

You built a scoring engine that analyzes:

• Resume content
  
  
• Job description matching
  
  
• Skills relevance
  
  
• Experience thresholds
  
  
• Keyword density
  
  
• Behavioral indicators
  
  

The system uses AI + NLP to automatically:

• Rank candidates
  
  
• Flag top performers
  
  
• Filter out low-fit applicants
  
  

💡 Result: Recruiters save hours of manual screening per position.

2. Automated Interviewing Engine

You designed a fully automated interviewing system using:

• Pre-structured interview questions
  
  
• Candidate video/audio responses
  
  
• Auto-scoring algorithms
  
  
• Behavior and tone analysis
  
  
• Skills + role-based scoring rubrics
  
  

The system produces:

• Interview scorecards
  
  
• Red flags
  
  
• Detailed candidate summaries
  
  

📈 Impact: Standardizes interviews and eliminates interview bias or inconsistency.

3. Instant Background Checks (3rd-Party API Integrations)

You integrated external providers to automate:

• Criminal background checks
  
  
• Employment verification
  
  
• Identity verification
  
  
• Education checks
  
  
• Driver record checks (if needed)
  
  

⚡ Result: A process that normally takes days is completed in minutes.

4. Job Distribution Engine (50+ job boards)

Through API integrations + Selenium automation, you built a distribution engine that automatically posts job listings to:

• Indeed
  
  
• LinkedIn
  
  
• ZipRecruiter
  
  
• Monster
  
  
• CareerBuilder
  
  
• Niche industry job boards
  
  
• Regional classifieds
  
  
• Social platforms
  
  

The system automatically:

• Creates postings
  
  
• Handles account logins
  
  
• Tracks status
  
  
• Updates job availability
  
  
• Pulls inbound applicants back into Item Recruit
  
  

📌 This alone replaces multiple recruiter roles at scale.

5. Recruiter Dashboard (ATS + Automation Hub)

You designed a powerful dashboard that centralizes everything:

Candidate Pipeline

• New applicants
• Ranked candidates
• Interviewed candidates
• Background-check status
• Hiring status timeline
  
  

Recruiting Metrics

• Time-to-fill
• Cost-per-hire
