The Story
Athul partnered directly with the Director of HR to build a GenAI recruitment-screening product designed to replace manual candidate evaluation across a large hiring operation spanning more than 10,000 candidates and 15+ campuses.
The core challenge was not just automation; it was building a scoring system that HR would actually trust. That meant designing candidate scoring that stayed fair across both undergraduate and MBA applicant pools, preventing structural bias from skewing rankings between the two groups.
He worked through the scoring logic, the fairness constraints, and the validation approach, ultimately achieving 98% precision against human evaluators. That result cleared the trust bar for HR to greenlight automated candidate scoring at scale.
The product delivered more than 500 hours of operational savings by replacing manual evaluator workflows and freeing recruitment bandwidth for higher-value work.
