AI that clears the top of your hiring funnel before a recruiter opens it

Banao builds and runs hiring AI on real recruiting pipelines — resume screening and ranking, AI interview screening, scheduling, and hiring analytics — for teams that hire faster than they can read applications.

Every system below is in production on our own 300-engineer operation before any client sees it. InterviewGod screens our hires each week. We are not pitching a demo; we are handing you the pipeline we depend on.

Banao— InterviewGod screens every engineering hire before a person spends an hour on them.

What we deploy across hiring and HR

Each of these is a problem with a cost attached — recruiter hours, time-to-hire, or a good candidate who timed out. We start where the cost is countable.

Resume screening & ranking

Parsing, ranking, and shortlisting against the actual role — with the reasons attached to each ranking, so a recruiter can audit every call instead of trusting a black box.

AI interview screening

Structured first-round technical screens at volume, scored consistently, so your engineers only meet candidates who already cleared the bar.

Interview scheduling & coordination

The calendar ping-pong across panels, time zones, and candidates, handled by an agent — recruiters stop being a booking service.

Sourcing & candidate matching

Open roles matched against inbound applicants and your existing talent database, surfacing people you already had on file but never re-found.

Hiring funnel analytics

Where candidates drop, which sources convert, and what time-to-hire really is — by role and team, not one annual slide.

HR document intelligence

Offer letters, policies, and onboarding packs turned into a chat-queryable assistant, so HR stops answering the same question fifty times a month.

Banao — in-house hiring

InterviewGod screens every engineering applicant first

  • ··%first-round screens automated
  • ··hrsengineer time saved per hire
  • ··×faster shortlist

Banao hires continuously for a ~300-engineer bench. InterviewGod runs the structured first-round technical screen for every applicant, scores it consistently, and passes only cleared candidates to a human panel — the same system we sell, carrying our own hiring load every week.

A high-volume technology recruiter

Resume triage cut from days to minutes

  • ··%applications auto-ranked
  • ··%recruiter screening time removed

A team drowning in inbound applications per role used Banao resume screening to rank and shortlist against each role's real requirements, with audit reasons on every ranking — so recruiters reviewed a shortlist instead of a slush pile.

We hire our own team on the AI we sell

Banao runs a ~300-person engineering company on its own AI products before any client touches them. InterviewGod screens our hires every week; Vikaas runs our own demand generation. Our recruiting function is the first user of everything on this page.

That is the gap between a vendor who has read about hiring AI and one whose own headcount depends on it. A screening model that has to survive our growth is hardened long before it reaches your pipeline.

  • InterviewGodRuns the first technical screen for Banao's own engineering hires.
  • VikaasRuns Banao's own demand-gen pipeline end to end.

When hiring AI doesn't earn its keep

Most HR-tech vendors will sell you a screening model regardless of whether it should touch your funnel. We would rather tell you where not to point it.

  • Low hiring volume: if you make a handful of hires a quarter, a good recruiter beats any pipeline. We'll say so before you buy seats.
  • Hiring you can't audit: a screening model can quietly encode bias. If you cannot govern and explain its decisions, it should not gate candidates — we build the audit trail in, or we don't ship it.
  • Senior and relationship hires: executive and trust-led roles are judgment, not throughput. AI can source and prep; it does not make the close.

How we start — fixed-price, low risk

You have been pitched HR tech by a dozen vendors. We start by proving where the recruiter hours actually go, not by quoting a platform.

  1. AI Discovery Sprint2 weeks · fixed price

    We sit with your recruiting funnel, find where the hours and drop-offs are, and hand back a prioritised list of automation opportunities with ROI maths — yours to keep. If you proceed, the Sprint cost is credited against the build.

  2. Build

    Data and ATS integration first, then the model. We wire into your applicant tracking system and calendars, and build the screening logic and audit trail as deliverables, not add-ons.

  3. Production & continuous learning

    Rollout with recruiter override and a hiring dashboard, plus change management for the talent team. Recruiter corrections feed the model, so ranking sharpens with every cohort.

Frequently asked questions

It can, if it is built carelessly — which is exactly why governance is part of the build. We train on role-relevant signals, keep a human on every reject, log the reason for each ranking, and support fairness audits. The aim is screening you can defend to a regulator, not a black box.

Yes. Banao integrates with the applicant tracking system and calendar stack you already run — the screening, ranking, and scheduling sit on top of your existing tools rather than replacing them. Integration is part of the build deliverable.

It usually improves. Faster responses, scheduling that doesn't stall for a week, and structured screens candidates rate as fairer than an ad-hoc phone call. The AI removes the waiting, not the human contact.

Candidate data stays in your environment and under your retention rules. We design to your data-protection obligations from week one — consent, retention, and deletion are part of the spec, not a later patch.

A typical path is a 2-week Sprint, a 6–8 week build, and a 4-week rollout. Banao's ~300-engineer bench means delivery starts in weeks, and the screening engine is one we already run in production on our own hiring.
