DeepQuest –AI Recruitment Bot for In-Depth Candidate Reports

DeepQuest replaces CVs with AI-led interviews. Candidates answer role-specific questions (defined by client) from a bot in recorded sessions, generating detailed skill reports.

Comment

Inspiration

The average time to hire a new employee is 36+ days, with costs reaching up to tens of thousands of dollars.

  • 75% of CVs never reach recruiters due to errors in Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS).
  • CVs often fail to reflect real skills – studies show that 40% of candidates provide inaccurate information.
  • Traditional interviews are time-consuming, and recruiters often hire candidates who perform well during the interview rather than those who are best suited for the role.

What it does

DeepQuest eliminates the need for CVs by replacing them with AI-led interviews. The bot asks tailored, role-specific questions, providing a comprehensive report on the candidate’s hard skills and experience.

Future Enhancements:

  • Soft skill analysis based on conversation snippets and recorded interview sessions.
  • More data-driven insights to help recruiters make informed decisions more effectively.

How we built it

  1. Brainstorming to choose the most impactful idea.
  2. Agreed on architecture, database structure, and APIs most suitable for our needs.
  3. Gathered requirements using Miro.
  4. Finalized the project with an intense night-long crunch.

Challenges we ran into

  • Is our project too obvious? Too easy? Would clients buy it?
  • Limited time to develop and refine features.
  • Technical issues with API queries.

Accomplishments we’re proud of

  • Built an impactful project in just 24 hours.
  • Delivered a working demo app.
  • Helping recruiters focus on higher-value tasks, reducing burnout.

What we learned

  • Data-backed hiring leads to more accurate, scalable recruitment.

What’s next for DeepQuest – AI Recruitment Bot for In-Depth Candidate Reports

  • Plan to add full video recordings of interviews for deeper insights.
  • Expand soft skill analysis to include traits like leadership and adaptability.
  • Develop a feature to assess a candidate's fit for the role's requirements.
