The Challenge

This financial services provider had reached a breaking point with their manual resume screening process. With 20-100 employees managing daily finance operations, the team was spending an average of 25+ hours per week on repetitive resume screening tasks that added no strategic value. The workload was unsustainable, and errors were becoming more frequent as volume grew.

The consequences extended beyond wasted time. In their finance business, delayed resume screening created a cascade of downstream problems — missed deadlines, frustrated stakeholders, and data quality issues that undermined decision-making. The team had tried hiring additional staff, but the cost was prohibitive and training new employees on their complex finance processes took months. They needed a solution that could handle their current volume and scale with their growth, without requiring a proportional increase in headcount.

The Solution

The team selected Arahi AI to automate their finance resume screening workflow end-to-end. Implementation began with connecting their core tools — QuickBooks, Stripe, and Slack — to the Arahi AI platform. Using the no-code builder, they configured AI agents that replicate their best-performing team member's decision-making process, but at machine speed and consistency.

The AI agents handle every step of the resume screening process: receiving incoming requests or triggers, analyzing the context using finance-specific rules, making intelligent routing decisions, executing the core actions, and notifying the right stakeholders. What previously required 45+ minutes of manual work per instance now completes automatically in under 2 minutes. The agents also learn from corrections, continuously improving their accuracy. The team connected Salesforce for tracking and reporting, giving leadership real-time visibility into resume screening performance metrics for the first time.
