Abstract
The AI-Based Resume Screening System aims to automate resume screening for HR teams
using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. The primary challenge is the time-
consuming and biased manual resume evaluation process. This project leverages Named
Entity Recognition (NER) and Transformer models to extract and analyze key resume attributes
against job descriptions. The system improves screening accuracy and reduces processing
time, leading to efficient and unbiased candidate shortlisting. The model uses machine
learning techniques to continuously learn and improve accuracy based on recruiter feedback.
The study involves extensive testing with real-world datasets, ensuring the practical
applicability of the solution.

Chapter 1: Introduction
Background Information
Recruiters face challenges in screening large volumes of resumes efficiently. The manual
process is time-intensive, subjective, and prone to biases. AI-driven automation can
streamline the screening process, ensuring accuracy and fairness. By implementing Natural
Language Processing (NLP) and deep learning techniques, the system can identify relevant
skills, experiences, and qualifications while reducing recruiter workload.
Project Objectives
• Develop an AI-based system to automate resume screening.
• Extract key skills, experience, and qualifications from resumes.
• Match extracted attributes with job descriptions for ranking.
• Evaluate performance based on screening accuracy and processing time.
• Reduce bias and improve the fairness of candidate selection.

Significance
This project enhances recruitment efficiency by reducing bias and ensuring faster candidate
selection. The automation of screening processes allows recruiters to focus on higher-value
activities such as interviews and strategic talent acquisition.

Scope
• Included: Resume parsing, job description analysis, ranking algorithms, recruiter
feedback learning.
• Not Included: Interview scheduling, behavioral analysis, subjective assessment of soft
skills.

Methodology Overview
• Data collection (resumes, job descriptions, recruiter feedback).
• NLP-based information extraction using NER and transformers.
• Candidate ranking based on AI-driven matching algorithms.
• Continuous model improvement through recruiter feedback and model retraining.

Chapter 2: Problem Identification and Analysis


Description of the Problem
Manual resume screening is inefficient and prone to biases, leading to inconsistent hiring
decisions. Recruiters often struggle to filter large volumes of applications, leading to potential
oversight of highly qualified candidates.

Evidence of the Problem


Research indicates that recruiters spend an average of 6-7 seconds per resume, leading to
potential oversight of qualified candidates. Biases, such as affinity bias and gender bias,
further impact hiring outcomes.
Stakeholders
• HR teams and recruiters
• Job applicants
• Hiring managers
• Organizations aiming to streamline recruitment

Supporting Data/Research
Studies show AI-driven screening can reduce hiring time by 70% and improve accuracy by 50%.
Automated resume parsing can handle diverse formats and content variations, increasing
fairness in candidate selection.

Chapter 3: Solution Design and Implementation


Development and Design Process
• Data preprocessing and text extraction from resumes.
• Feature extraction using NLP and Named Entity Recognition (NER).
• Job-resume matching using Transformer models.
• Model evaluation and performance tuning through feedback mechanisms.

Tools and Technologies Used


• Programming Language: Python
• Frameworks: TensorFlow, PyTorch, Spacy, Hugging Face Transformers
• NLP Techniques: Named Entity Recognition (NER), BERT-based transformers, Semantic
Similarity Matching
Solution Overview
The AI model extracts experience, education, and skills from resumes and matches them with
job requirements for ranking candidates. The system incorporates recruiter feedback loops to
refine its accuracy over time.
Engineering Standards Applied
ISO 9001 for software quality assurance, IEEE standards for AI-based solutions, and GDPR
compliance for data privacy.
Solution Justification
Ensures fair hiring, reduces bias, and increases efficiency by using an unbiased AI model
trained on diverse datasets.
