Naukri and LinkedIn applicants are screened, booked for interviews and followed up if they miss one

The AI checks each applicant against the hiring manager's must-haves, books interviews when the manager is free and offers new times to anyone who misses one. The hiring manager decides who goes forward.

How it runs with AI

Applicants from Naukri and LinkedIn land in Zoho Recruit, and the AI checks each one against the must-haves the hiring manager set for the role. Good matches get an email with times the manager is free in Google Calendar, their pick is booked, and a reminder goes out the day before. Anyone who misses the slot gets new times within minutes, and the hiring manager decides who goes forward.

How it is done today

Applications for each open role arrive on Naukri and LinkedIn, often in the hundreds. The HR team downloads the CVs, reads each one, phones the good candidates to fix a time and checks the hiring manager's diary. Candidates often miss the first interview, and HR finds out when the manager calls to ask where they are.
