Spotlight: AI-Powered Candidate Assessment Platform
We engineered an enterprise-grade multi-tenant hiring SaaS platform that automates candidate screening, exam scheduling, and real-time AI grading.
About Spotlight
Spotlight was created to solve one of the most persistent challenges in outpatient recruitment: manual resume reviewing and subjective interviews grading.
Recruitment agencies struggled to filter qualified candidates, verify knowledge authenticity, and prevent cheating. Spotlight connects hiring teams and test-takers through automated portals:
🖥️ Super Admin Dashboard
A systems-level administration board to manage agency accounts registrations, review monthly test volumes, and audit globally configured question directories.
🏢 Agency Dashboard
A tenant console for HR teams to coordinate employee profiles, schedule candidate slots, monitor exams results, and evaluate scored pass rates.
The Challenges We Resolved
HR teams spend 40+ hours per job post manually screening resumes and filtering profiles, leading to hiring fatigue.
Manual candidate assessments are subjective and inconsistent, resulting in bias and missed top-tier talent.
Standard remote exams suffer from lack of oversight, making it difficult to trust candidate scores.
Coordinating multi-stage interviews, setting up testing environments, and grading answers causes high administrative overhead.
Real-Time AI Grading Engine
We structured a secure LLM processing pipeline to grade text responses and verify knowledge metrics instantly.
- ✓ Recruiter designs exam with custom rules
- ✓ Candidate takes test on student portal
- ✓ AI pipeline grades questions automatically
- ✓ Score analytics publish in sub-seconds
