Company sources

250+ applicants. A 3-day hiring deadline.

Too many applicants to call individually

Davin Patel, Head HR at Unilights, had a role to close in 3 days and more than 250 applicants. Reaching every person individually was not practical within that window.

CVs could not tell the whole story

As a recruiter with 15 years in talent acquisition, Davin wanted to hear candidates explain their experience. How someone presented that experience could reveal something different from the resume, so simply reading the applications would not give him everything he valued.

Candidates were at work when Davin could call

There was also a scheduling problem. Davin could reach out during working hours, which was when candidates were at work themselves. They could not always speak openly.

Hear candidates explain their experience, then review written and video evidence

Scheduling constraint
Candidates were at work during the recruiter’s calling hours

Davin says those candidates could not discuss openly during working hours.

Screen candidates without arranging individual calls

The challenge: 250+ applicants, a 3-day deadline, and candidates who were at work when Davin could call.

Hear from candidates and review the evidence

Evidence for the hiring decision

Davin brought 15 years of recruitment experience to the problem and kept a clear priority: hear how candidates explain their experience, rather than relying only on their resumes. Flowmingo gave him flexible interview access and written and video evidence to support that judgment.

A different way to handle volume

Uploading the 250+ applicants let him approach the volume differently while retaining the candidate perspective he valued. The 3-day figure was his initial deadline; the testimonial does not confirm the role was filled within that period.

I used Flowmingo when I had 250+ candidates who had applied and I had to close the role in 3 days. Its humanly impossible to reach out to each one of them. A 15 years veteran in the field of Talent Acquisiton I always believe that calling a candidate and listening to their experience, the way they present it is always different than whats written on the resume. I uploaded a csv file with all the 250+ candidates and let Flowmingo work its magic. The best part I could reach out to candidates only during work hours thats when even candidates are at work so cant discuss openly. Flowmingo gives that edge of 24-7 availablity along with follow ups to take up the virtual AI Interview. I was amazed with the detailed report presented by Flowmingo after the end of each AI Interview. The best part about Flowmingo its absolutely FREE and the reports gives you a good judgement and a written and video proof of the capability of the candidate with regards to the role.
