The problem

Recruiters should be closing positions, not filtering endlessly.

  • Too many resumes, too little time.

    One JD brings in hundreds of profiles, and AI-written resumes make every one of them sound like a fit.

  • Outreach that ends in “not interested”.

    Hours of calls and messages go to candidates who were never going to join.

  • A funnel full of the wrong profiles.

    Sourcing tools send volume, not fit. Your team still does all the filtering.

  • Shortlists the hiring manager rejects.

    When HR and the decision-maker don’t agree on what “good” looks like, interview rounds are wasted on the wrong people.

All of this eats into recruiters' time, when they should be building relationships with candidates.

How it works

Set up the job. Piphire handles the rest.

Choose what each role needs: pre-screening when applicants are plenty, outreach when the right people aren’t applying.

Piphire filters every applicant against your criteria, then pre-screens and interviews the ones who fit.

  1. Step 1

    Add candidates

    Import from Naukri, LinkedIn and other portals, or upload CVs in bulk, including scans.

  2. Step 2

    Resume screening

    Your non-negotiables remove clear mismatches. AI ranks the rest and checks LinkedIn and GitHub against the resume.

  3. Step 3

    Pre-screening

    AI

    AI interview first, or a phone call, WhatsApp or web link. Collects interest, CTC, notice period and your must-haves.

  4. Step 4

    Assessments and AI interviews

    AI

    Technical and aptitude tests, plus AI interviews that check the claims on the resume. Full transcripts.

  5. Step 5

    Background verification

    PAN, Aadhaar, PF and past employers checked before the offer goes out.

Piphire does the time consuming repetitive work for you while you make every decision.

QHow would you stop a large list from re-rendering on every change?

AI'd memoise the row component, keep stable keys, and virtualise the list so only visible rows render.

FAQ

Questions recruiters ask us.

Will Piphire replace my recruiters?

No. Piphire takes over the repetitive parts of the funnel: filtering, outreach, pre-screening and first-round assessments. Your recruiters still make every decision, and they get their time back for the conversations that close positions.

Does the AI reject candidates on its own?

No. Your non-negotiables (experience, CTC, notice period, location, certifications) decide the clear mismatches, and you set those rules. AI only ranks the candidates who pass, and every score comes with the reasons behind it.

Can my whole team use it?

Yes. Invite recruiters as Admins so they can run jobs end to end, and give hiring managers or clients view-only access to the shortlist and the reasoning behind it.

How does pre-screening reach candidates?

However suits them. Piphire can run an AI interview first, or ask your screening questions over a phone call, on WhatsApp, by email or through a web link. It collects interest, CTC, notice period and your must-haves, and every answer lands in the same place.

Which resume formats does it read?

PDF, Word documents and scanned copies, including the formats common on Naukri and LinkedIn exports. You can also import a CSV or Excel export from other job portals.

Do candidates need to install anything?

No. Candidates answer pre-screening questions on a phone call, over WhatsApp, by email or through a web link, whichever suits them. Assessments and AI interviews run in the browser.

How does Piphire know who is ready to switch?

It looks for signals: time in the current role, a title that has not changed while peers moved up, restructuring or layoffs at their company, a freshly updated profile, how long they usually stay before moving, and pay below what the role offers. Each signal adds to a switch score, and every score shows its reasons.

Where do outreach candidates come from?

From your own candidate database and the profiles you import from job portals such as Naukri and LinkedIn exports. Piphire searches those for people who fit the role, then works out who is likely to move. It does not scrape or buy contact lists.

Will outreach spam candidates?

No. Every message is written for one person, from their own background, and nothing goes out until your recruiter approves it. Email comes first, or your recruiter copies the note to LinkedIn. WhatsApp is used only after a candidate replies or opts in.

What happens when a candidate replies to outreach?

Your recruiter sees the reply, and an interested candidate moves straight into pre-screening and the AI interview. Anyone who says “not now” gets a follow-up at the time they suggest, and anyone who declines is not contacted again for that role.
