How NovaTech cut hiring time in half with AI-powered screening

The challenge

NovaTech Solutions, a fast-growing technology services firm based in Bengaluru, was drowning in resumes. With over 200 open roles at any given time, their 4-person talent team spent upwards of 60% of their week just screening candidates — most of whom were never a real fit.

Manual screening meant inconsistent evaluation, interviewer bias, and a time-to-hire that stretched to 6 weeks on average. Senior engineers were pulled into first-round interviews that should never have reached them.

The solution

NovaTech piloted Recubix across three hiring tracks: software engineering, data science, and operations. Within two weeks, the talent team had configured AI-powered resume matching, automated first-round interviews, and biometric verification for remote candidates.

Recubix's AI interview engine asked role-specific questions, evaluated answers in real time, and surfaced a ranked shortlist — complete with confidence scores and red flags — before a single human reviewed a profile.

The results

Within 90 days, NovaTech reduced time-to-hire from 6 weeks to under 3. Mis-hires dropped by 40% as biometric verification eliminated candidate fraud and AI scoring surfaced consistent signal that human interviewers had historically missed.

The talent team now spends less than 20% of their time on screening — and more time on candidate experience, employer branding, and strategic workforce planning.

"Recubix transformed our entire hiring pipeline. The AI interview engine and biometric verification gave us confidence in every candidate we advanced — we reduced mis-hires by over 40% in the first quarter alone."— Arjun Mehta, Head of Talent, NovaTech Solutions
