Transforming Resume Screening and Talent Discovery through Intelligent Graph-Based Retrieval Systems
A talent acquisition and HR-focused organization aimed to improve resume screening and candidate evaluation by implementing an AI-powered GraphRAG solution. The objective was to build a scalable system capable of extracting job roles, skills, experiences, and relationships from unstructured resumes while enabling intelligent querying and candidate matching. The solution was designed to automate resume analysis, improve recruitment efficiency, and provide contextual candidate insights using knowledge graph technology.
