The Challenge: Scaling Smart, Not Just Big 

In the fast-paced world of digital consultancy, growth is the goal. But for Code94 Labs, rapid expansion brought a familiar challenge: how to scale recruitment without scaling the HR department. 

Newan Vinthusa, CEO of Code94 Labs, put it plainly: “One of the biggest pain points for startups is bloated hiring. So, startups don’t like having bigger HR teams. That’s why we needed a solution to help us manage an influx of applications with the same HR team.” Because of the small size of their HR team, traditional hiring methods were becoming a bottleneck. 

Imagine the time sink: 45-60 minutes per candidate for screening alone, including scheduling, CV review, and the actual interview. Imagine doing this for more than 100 candidates every month. This wasn’t just inefficient; it was a barrier to finding top talent. 

Even worse, the HR team, while skilled, often lacked the specific domain knowledge required for key technical hires across various departments. This resulted in unqualified candidates progressing further in the recruitment cycle, and in some cases, even led to costly bad hiring decisions. As Newan revealed, “There have been cases where unqualified candidates were even hired and we had to let go after sometime.” This highlighted a critical need for a more precise and efficient pre-screening process.

The Solution: Talvin AI, The Game Changer 

Enter Talvin AI, the innovative AI Voice Agent designed to transform candidate screening. For Code94 Labs, the adoption was remarkably swift. “Less than 1 day to adapt to the process,” according to Newan Vinthusa. 

This rapid integration speaks volumes about Talvin’s intuitive design. Since June 2024, Code94 Labs has conducted nearly 250 interviews in just eight months, a testament to Talvin’s capacity to handle high volumes with ease. 

Talvin’s core strength lies in its unbiased initial screening. It evaluates candidates without prejudice based on gender, city, or other criteria, ensuring a fairer and more objective assessment. This opens the door to a wider, more diverse talent pool. 

Furthermore, Talvin fosters collaboration within the HR team. They can “collaborate and listen to the whole conversation and make decisions together,” leading to more informed and collective hiring decisions.

The Impact: Time Saved, Quality Gained 

Talvin’s implementation brought a revolutionary shift to Code94 Labs’ recruitment. The most dramatic change? Time savings. 

What once took 45-60 minutes per candidate is now reduced to a mere “1 – 2 minutes. definitely less than 5 mins.” This is an extraordinary leap in efficiency, freeing the HR team for more strategic initiatives. 

Beyond speed, Talvin significantly elevated the candidate qualification process. By allowing more candidates into the initial screening, Code94 Labs gained a “better chance to find the right candidate.”

The unbiased nature of Talvin’s screening ensures candidates are judged purely on their merits. This eliminates human biases and leads to a higher caliber of candidates advancing. 

The ability for the HR team to review and listen to voice interviews collaboratively further strengthens decision-making. This directly addresses the past issue of unqualified hires, leading to better long-term talent acquisition.
