As per Chimpare's team leaders, they used to spend long lasting hours for the initial screening of CVs for the right resources.

They had to invest 30 minutes in a chat, only to discover the candidate lacked a fundamental skill we desperately needed, or their way of communicating just would not click with collaborative spirit of Chimpare, as an organization.
This hands-on method, while coming from a good place, brought with it a string of tough challenges:

Our recruiters who were important team members were overworked and overburdened with monotonous duties that hardly required their individual attention. Not only was this making them tired, but it was also diverting their attention from the parts of their job that were important like developing sincere relationships with bright people.

From a team that made the switch
“Niyuk helped us streamline our recruitment process, reduce manual screening efforts, and accelerate hiring decisions. The platform enabled our team to focus more on engaging quality candidates rather than administrative tasks.”
Chimpare was drowning in applications. Recruiters read resumes by hand, which ate up hours, and technical candidates were the slowest to assess. Roles took longer to fill, the team had little time for anything but screening, and qualified people slipped through or gave up partway.
Screening, technical assessments, and first-round interviews ran automatically. Recruiters reached qualified candidates faster, did less manual sorting, and got steadier results from one applicant to the next. That left the team free for the parts that need a person: real conversations and the final call.
Initial screening took 70% less time, and hiring costs dropped 30%. The interview completion rate hit 92%, and roles closed faster. Chimpare could take on more hiring, too, without adding the same recruiter hours behind it.
It absorbed the repetitive work: resume screening, early evaluations, interview coordination, and initial assessments. Recruiters got that time back and spent it on candidates worth pursuing and on the decisions that actually mattered, instead of moving applications down a queue.
It put AI screening, technical assessments, interview automation, and recruitment analytics in one system. Next to the old way of working, the platform scaled further and graded candidates more evenly, so hiring sped up and the decisions held up better.
Every candidate goes through the same structured assessments, AI interviews, and scoring criteria. That removed much of the gut-feel bias and kept evaluations consistent, so Chimpare could judge people on real skills, experience, and fit for the role. Stronger matches were the result.
Sourcing, resume screening, technical assessments, interview scheduling, applicant tracking, candidate evaluation. Niyuk runs the lot. Putting those steps in one place cut the delays and gave Chimpare a process that held up as the company grew.
For software companies, Niyuk automates screening, technical assessments, AI interviews, and the workflow tying them together. With less manual effort, evaluations move quicker, hiring cycles shrink, and recruiters get more done, which counts when every company is chasing the same engineers.
