Students can avail of features like resume templates, video resumes, AI-resume analysis, job description to resume compare and analysis, tips and suggestions, grammar checks and many more. Its Resume Builder will also support college-selected templates (with college branding). The SaaS platform will provide tips, recommendations, and AI review analysis based on its data bank of over 200,000 HR-approved statements, jargon, and other information compiled by more than 40 HR experts.
Speaking about the collaboration, Chief Executive Officer of Workruit, Manikanth Challa, said:
India’s job market is both competitive and diverse. Recruiters face numerous challenges while screening resumes, making it difficult to identify the right talent. Parallel job seekers are also unable to display resumes that distinguish them as standout candidates. Understanding that, Workruit Resume Builder, with our advanced AI & ML technologies, is addressing a critical issue for the industry by creating a level playing field for both applicants and employers. Also, Workruit Resume Builder is a web and mobile tool that will be helpful for users to explore the tool in their preferred medium.
Students will have a real-time unique Resume URL that can be accessed forever and shared with employers instantly and can track the progress of placements in one place, saving management, administration, and the placements team much time. The college also gets access to companies which are a part of Workruit (2500+) for internships, placements, guest lectures, mentor connect and many more activities. The platform will automate hiring and selection via its Tinder interface.

The time taken for the hiring process is reduced by half since the platform sifts the applicants using data analytics and displays only relevant profiles that match one requirement. The company has revolutionized the tedious recruitment process and replaced it with a simple and intelligent approach.
