From Manual to Magic – How Niyuk Transformed Chimpare's Candidate Screening
At Chimpare, a bright and busy software company, finding just the right people has always been at the core of their success. They’ve built a reputation for bringing in brilliant minds, but as they grew bigger, their old way of welcoming new talent started to feel less like a careful craft and more like a heavy burden. What was once a thorough process had become a frustrating bottleneck, causing real headaches for their dedicated hiring team and even for the eager individuals hoping to join them.
The Old Way: Manual vs AI Hiring
Before Niyuk came along, Chimpare’s hiring journey was a slow, often exhausting affair. The sheer number of applications pouring in, especially for those highly specialized tech roles, was just overwhelming. Every single resume had to be reviewed, line by painstaking line, by a person – a task that swallowed countless hours and, despite everyone’s best intentions, quietly carried the risk of personal biases creeping in. As per Chimpare’s team leaders, they used to spend long lasting hours for the initial screening of CVs for the right resources.
Even after first filter, the phone interviews were a huge drain on recruiters’ energy. 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:
