Today hiring teams often have to wade through hundreds sometimes thousands of resumes for one job opening. Reviewing all of them manually takes a lot of time, can be inconsistent and may be subject to unconscious bias. Traditional applicant tracking systems attempt to make this easier, but most of them rely heavily on keyword matching. This creates a problem - a strong candidate could be missed simply for using different language, while someone with plenty of keywords on their resume could be unfairly favoured. These limitations underscore the need for a smarter, more context-aware approach to resume screening.
This paper introduces HireSyncAI, a unified, cloud-based hiring platform that consolidates multiple technologies into a single system. It leverages Groq-hosted Large Language Models (Llama 3.3-70B) for resume analysis, a Supabase PostgreSQL backend for real-time data processing, SendGrid for automated email communication, and a React TypeScript frontend for HR managers and candidates. "Instead of just looking for keywords, the system reads the resumes more in a human-like way, assessing what a candidate actually knows and has done, and how well that matches the job requirements. Each candidate undergoes a structured assessment that provides a weighted relevance score based on skills (50%), experience (30%), and education (20%), ensuring clear and easily justifiable results.
We tested our system on 50 resumes and each resume was used for five different job roles. The results looked promising. HireSyncAI agreed strongly with human judgment, with a Spearman rank correlation of 0.85. It took under 5 seconds to process each resume, about 1.2 seconds to sync data between sessions, and 98% of emails were successfully delivered. Apart from these metrics, the platform also significantly reduces manual work on the part of recruiters, and makes the hiring process more consistent, transparent, and fair.
