Enhancing Hiring Efficiency at Rangam with AI-Driven Solutions
The Challenge: A Time-Consuming and Inefficient Hiring Process
While working at Rangam, I identified a major challenge in the internal recruitment management system. Recruiters were struggling to shortlist the best candidates because they had to manually open and review each applicant’s profile and description, which was not only time-consuming but also ineffective. Some recruiters spent over 15 minutes per candidate, yet still missed top talent due to the overwhelming number of applications and lack of structured insights.
Understanding the Problem: User Research & Insights
To uncover the root cause, I conducted interviews with recruiters, observing how they navigated the system. Key insights included:
✔ Manual Screening Bottleneck: Recruiters had no quick way to identify top matches, leading to delays in hiring.
✔ Lack of Data-Driven Decision-Making: The system did not highlight best-fit candidates based on job requirements, requiring recruiters to make subjective choices.
✔ Resume Parsing Issues: The Applicant Tracking System (ATS) wasn’t effectively parsing resumes, overlooking strong candidates who did not use an ATS-friendly format.
The Solution: A Smart, AI-Enhanced Hiring Process
Based on research insights, I redesigned and enhanced the existing flow with two key innovations:
1. AI-Driven Scoreboard with Top-Matched Candidates

Impact
Context
At Rangam, after i did user researchcandidates faced significant challenges due to non-ATS-friendly resumes, resulting in their profiles not being properly parsed or shortlisted. This issue caused an incomplete reflection of candidate data in the recruiter dashboard, leading to inefficiencies in shortlisting and filling roles.
At Rangam Recruiting, the team faced a significant challenge in shortlisting the best candidates due to the inefficiency of their ATS system, which failed to properly parse resumes based on the specific parameters recruiters required. This led to missed opportunities and inefficiencies in the recruitment process.
To address this, I designed a platform that allowed candidates to create AI-powered resumes optimized for ATS compatibility. The platform uses the same template to ensure resumes are formatted in a way that enables smoother parsing through the system, ultimately increasing the chances of a candidate’s resume being seen by recruiters.
Before Design:
-
Candidates struggled with tailoring their resumes to meet ATS requirements, leading to resumes being overlooked.
-
Recruiters faced inefficiency in sorting through resumes, often missing qualified candidates due to poor parsing.
After Design:
-
Candidates could easily create ATS-friendly resumes, saving time and ensuring their resumes were parsed correctly.
-
Recruiters experienced a higher accuracy in filtering resumes based on the right parameters, resulting in faster shortlisting and a higher quality of candidates being considered.
Impact:
-
Reduced time to hire by 25%, allowing the recruiting team to move forward with the best candidates more quickly.
-
Increased resume visibility by 40%, leading to a higher number of qualified candidates making it to the interview stage.
This streamlined the hiring process, benefiting both candidates and recruiters.

Streamlined Resume Creation for All: Inclusive AI Design
I focused on creating an intuitive AI Resume Builder that lets users generate a resume in minutes.
To accommodate diverse candidates, including those who are neurodivergent, I implemented a step-by-step guidance system with only 3 easy steps, making the tool accessible for everyone.
Enhancing User Experience with a Progress Bar
The Idea of designing a progress bar is to provide clear visual feedback on task completion, helping users understand their progress and reducing anxiety.
By breaking the process into manageable steps, it creates a sense of achievement and encourages users to continue, enhancing overall engagement and satisfaction.
Step-1
Basic : Personalized Experiences Through User Data
The interface was designed to collect essential personal information, which would enable the AI to offer relevant guidance, making the journey more intuitive and engaging for every user.
Step-2
Intuitive Role Selection Cards
Users can select roles or categories they belong to so the AI could personalize guidance based on their specific needs and career stage.
Cards are used in role selection because they provide a clear, visual way for users to compare options and choose the one that best fits their profile, making the process more intuitive, organized, and engaging.
Skills
Interactive Skill Selection
Highlighting relevant skills and keywords is essential for a strong job application. The AI Resume Builder suggests skills based on the user’s chosen roles, allowing them to select or add their own skills. This tile-based design makes the process interactive, helping users build resumes that align with industry standards and showcase their strengths effectively.
Work
Effortless Job Description Creation with AI-Driven Skill Selection
Users can effortlessly switch between tabs, with company details updating dynamically.
The AI-generated skill tiles allow them to select relevant keywords, which then auto-generate a job description, saving time on crafting descriptions while ensuring alignment with the role’s key requirements.
Summary
Personalized Summaries with AI-Generated summary Tiles
Writing summaries about ourselves can be challenging and time-consuming.
The AI Resume Builder simplifies this by auto-generating skill tiles and a summary based on the user’s information and the algorithm’s analysis.
Users can easily choose from the generated options and make edits if needed, saving time while still creating a personalized and polished summary.
Education
Seamlessly Manage Your Educational Details
Users can easily switch between tabs to add or update their educational details.
Step-3
Intuitive Role Selection Cards
Once users complete their tasks, they'll receive a ready-made resume based on the information they provided. It only takes around 10 minutes to generate. The resume layout is specially designed to be ATS-friendly, meaning it’s easy for Applicant Tracking Systems to scan and understand.
This way, it saves both time and effort for recruiters, as they can quickly parse and process candidate information.
