The Challenge
This series a saas startup had reached a breaking point with their manual resume screening process. With 20-80 employees managing daily saas 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 saas 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 saas 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 saas resume screening workflow end-to-end. Implementation began with connecting their core tools — HubSpot, Slack, and Notion — 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 saas-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 Jira for tracking and reporting, giving leadership real-time visibility into resume screening performance metrics for the first time.

Key Takeaways
The most important lessons from this saas resume screening automation project.
Automating resume screening in saas delivered immediate, measurable results: faster processing, higher accuracy, and lower costs.
The key to success was connecting existing saas tools to AI agents rather than replacing the entire tech stack.
24/7 automated processing eliminated backlogs and ensured consistent service quality regardless of volume fluctuations.
Starting with a pre-built template and customizing for saas-specific requirements dramatically reduced time-to-value.
Implementation Timeline
From zero to production in 2 hours — here's how they did it.
Step 1: Connected saas tools to Arahi AI
Integrated HubSpot, Intercom, and Stripe with Arahi AI using pre-built connectors — no API keys or custom code required. The team verified data flow between systems in under 15 minutes.
Step 2: Configured AI agent business rules
Defined the saas-specific rules for resume screening: scoring criteria, routing logic, escalation thresholds, and exception handling. The team used Arahi AI's visual rule builder to translate their existing process into automated workflows.
Step 3: Tested with live saas data
Ran the AI agents on a week's worth of historical resume screening data to validate accuracy and identify edge cases. Made minor adjustments to scoring weights and routing rules based on the results.
Step 4: Launched and monitored
Deployed the AI agents to production with the entire team notified via Jira. Monitored the first 48 hours closely, confirming 99%+ accuracy before reducing oversight to weekly reviews.
