In a world full of opportunities and changing market trends, competition can be fierce and often cut throat for students. While students are prepared for technical skills during their education, what most students are lacking in are people skills and soft skills. Students often tend to ignore the most obvious weapon in their arsenal, which is their Curriculum Vitae (CV.) A good CV will not only get you a foot in the door, it will also give the employer/interviewer a reason to prolong the interview thereby increasing the chances of landing a job.
This is where a startup called CView comes into the picture as it helps bridge the gap between students and employers by using artificial intelligence. CView was founded by Chavi Agarwal who found a gap in the market between employers and students. After doing some research to find out the root cause for why there is a disconnect between students and employers, Agarwal found out the CV or curriculum vitae, was the reason behind the rejections. Students tend to use generic templates available on the internet or end up copying from their peers instead of putting the effort to come up with an attractive CV.
Chavi Agarwal had her ‘Eureka’ moment when she realised she could draw upon her expertise in AI and machine learning and merge it with her personal experience. This led to her developing India’s first end to end applicant tracking system. This in house applicant tracking system helps use AI and Machine learning to generate an enviable CV for students. CView uses its tracking system to find the correct job candidate fit for its customers. In an industry which is still using manual methods to find the right candidate, Chavi Agarwal saw scope to use technology and built an applicant tracking system which is on par with any top multinational company.
How does CView set itself apart from the rest of its competitors? CView has three unique selling points with the first being its in house applicant tracking system and a database of more than 1,00,000 CV’s. CView has an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) score of 90 which is quite good. An ATS score is used to determine the quality of a resume and a score of 80% is usually considered good. An ATS scans resumes and checks for compatibility with search keywords and assigns a score. CView has managed to increase the employability chances of students by 60% with their ATS and AI. CView’s ATS makes it easier to optimise CV’s by making them compliant with the tracking systems. By offering CV building services from scratch CView also makes resumes compliant with a good ATS score thereby increasing the chances of a students employability.
CView is a customer centric organisation and therefore candidates are given due importance and are made to talk to professionals for coming up with a customised and personal CV. The third USP is a comprehensive candidate profile assessment which lets CView capture the essence of each profile.
CView currently offers its services via three plans namely Fast Track, Enhance and Build, with each plan having its own offerings. Fast Track is the basic plan while Build is a premium offering. There is a separate offering for startups to license CView’s ATS.
Cview aims to disrupt the recruitment process by throwing light on how the ATS systems work and by letting students know the importance of a good CV and how it needs to be compliant with the applicant tracking system.
With its entire process automated and completely running on the internet, CView is able to reach out to broader target audiences all over the world. By constantly educating their customers about ATS and its importance, Chavi Agarwal and CView is only continuing to grow in the future.
