Intercept the best candidates as soon as resumes are received. Even if you are not at your computer at the time.
How we worked
Building a tool that solves our own company problems was not only interesting - it also let us discover completely new ways of using AI.
Product discovery
We opened a new recruitment process and received as many as 600 resumes within a week! Reviewing so many applications by hand turned out to be time-consuming and inefficient. So we decided to build a tool that automatically screens applications and picks the best candidates in minutes instead of days. This lets us focus on what really matters - choosing the right people for our team.
Graphic design
We knew that advanced functionality, not looks, would be key for our clients. We used a paid admin panel template, which significantly sped up the project. Design work was limited to the logo and the colour scheme.
Development
We quickly realised the problem was much more complex than it first seemed. The variety of resumes - different templates and different languages - was not a challenge for us. The real breakthrough was extracting the candidate photo showing a face and calculating the distance between the candidate and the office. These innovations make us pioneers on the ATS market.
Support
We integrated the application with heatmap, analytics and session recording tools. This let us quickly identify and remove the problems our users faced. The result? A significant increase in sign-ups and a better experience for our clients.
Goals achieved
We built an application that sets a new standard.
The recruitment systems available on the market did not meet our expectations, so we took matters into our own hands. Using advanced knowledge of AI, large-scale data processing, map distance calculations and object recognition in images, we created a recruitment tool that sets a new standard in the industry.
Automatic resume import
We realised our clients fall into two key groups: large companies using ATS systems and headhunters, so we built dedicated solutions for each. To simplify ATS integration with Hero Parser, we became a Zapier partner, connecting our application with over 6,000 tools worldwide. For headhunters we created personal mailboxes that automatically parse messages from job portals (just forward them), making the whole process even more efficient.
Building the recruitment process
Recruiters are not always experts in every IT technology, and although job offers often repeat, finding the right candidate requires great precision. That is why we built a tool that automatically generates a list of the most wanted technologies and skills for a given position, making recruitment easier and increasing the chance of finding the ideal candidate.
Face detection
At first we assumed that the candidate photo would always be the first image in the resume, as most ATS systems do. To our surprise, only about 20% of resumes had the candidate photo recognised correctly. To fix this, we used AI that automatically picks the image showing a person’s face. This raised the recognition rate to 99%.
Candidate scoring
Tools in popular ATS systems work mainly as keyword search engines rather than advanced candidate scoring systems. Hero Parser uses NLP (Natural Language Processing), so it recognises words with typos, in different languages and in inflected forms. We also analyse key parameters such as years of experience in a given position (counted correctly for career changers), distance from the office in kilometres and foreign languages. As a result, we built the most accurate resume scoring tool on the market.
Automatic invitations
The best for last. In the second half of 2024, waiting for a recruiter’s reply takes from 2 weeks up to 2 months. A candidate who struggles to find a job may still be available after 2 months, but the best developers are hired quickly. You cannot afford to invite such a candidate to a face-to-face interview two months later. Our tool acts within a minute of receiving the resume and automatically sends an invitation with a link to your calendar, where the candidate picks a convenient time. You define the criteria yourself - years of experience, maximum distance from the office and the top X scoring threshold. A real game-changer in recruitment.

Reduce time-to-hire and save on recruitment
What annoys candidates the most?
Long response times. That is why it pays to start face-to-face interviews with the candidates most likely to be hired. Waiting 2 weeks for a reply has become the norm - which is why tools that automate recruitment through candidate scoring bring such a big advantage.
