Key outcomes

for tech and engineering teams

Shortlist you can trust, without reading every resume

Upload resumes in bulk. Each one is scored and sorted into strong and weak fit, so your team starts with the best profiles.

No screening the same profiles again and again

HR and hiring managers work from one list, with tags, comments and recommendations on each candidate.

Keep control of candidate communication

Selection and rejection emails are optional. Send them from the platform, or keep all communication on your own channel.

Send hiring managers candidates with proof of skill

All candidates complete a hands-on Task, so the panel sees real work before the interview.

Solve your top challenges with resume shortlisting

Resume shortlisting key challenges

Utkrusht solutions

Hundreds of applications for one role

Every resume is scored and ranked and given a best-fit score as soon as it is uploaded

The ATS score can't be trusted. A 59% profile is missing the skills, a 0% profile has them

Each shortlisted profile shows the evidence for every must-have skill, so the reason for the pick is clear

Every resume looks the same, with the same claims and the same numbers

Strong anti-proctoring feature set. Plus, candidates debug and fix a running system with AI allowed. The recording and prompt trail show who did the thinking

Shortlists travel by email and Excel, and feedback comes back late

One shared pipeline from invited to selected, with an Excel export when you need it

Good candidates get rejected on paper, and weak ones get through

Shortlisted candidates complete a Task, so skills are proven before interview time is spent

Features that

make Utkrusht different than others

Evaluation method

Resume fit score

Each must-have skill from your job description is marked as demonstrated or only listed, with the supporting line from the resume.

Candidate deep research

GitHub profiles and any links the candidate shares are researched: how old the profile is, which projects are real work and which are learning exercises, and how deep the work goes.

High-volume

Bulk upload and search

Upload resumes in bulk, search the whole pipeline in plain language, and select or reject with your own email templates.

Candidate management

Tags, comments and a shared pipeline.

Tag candidates for manager review, filter by tag, and let hiring managers comment and recommend on the same page.

350+ Skills and Tasks

Tasks already built-in for screened and shortlisted candidates

AI-written resumes tailored to the job description. Keyword scores get gamed

Fit scores separate demonstrated skill from a bare mention, with the evidence shown

High test scores, bad interviews. Candidates can't explain their own code

Candidates debug and fix a running system with AI allowed. The recording and prompt trail show who did the thinking

Preset question banks. Candidates arrive already prepared

  • "Utkrusht has been pivotal for us. Their assessment tests help us find the candidates with required technical skills and their detailed analysis improved our time spent on interviewing candidates significantly. We now realise how much time we used to waste on screening"

    Jaydeep Roman

    VP of Products, Wybrid

  • "Relying solely on recruiter agencies not only took 2-3 months on average, but we still ended up interviewing candidates who couldn't deliver desired code. With Utkrusht, we shortlisted 3 strong candidates in just a week, and every single one of them could build robust code!"

    Harshal Bhakta

    Co-founder, Cital

  • “We’ve hired developers who looked great on paper but collapsed in real projects. Utkrusht's platform changed that. Now we don’t guess, we see how they code and work under real conditions. The quality of our hires has gone way up, and we’re no longer wasting time on interviews that go nowhere.”

    Atul

    Co-founder & COO, ScaleReal

  • "AI-based assessments have helped us speed up our recruitment process while improving the quality of hiring.

    The detailed technical evaluations make it easier to make quick and confident decisions. What really stands out is the team’s personalized support, quick response. Overall, it has been a great experience working with this innovative tool and the amazing people at Utkrusht."

    Arun Bhimani

    VP of Technology, InTech Solutions

  • "We evaluated at least 15 other skill assessment tools which are out there. They are good, but they test candidates on algorithm questions and theory knowledge. None showed us how someone would actually perform on our team. With Utkrusht, I watched candidates work through the same debugging and optimization problems my engineers face daily. That's when I knew who to hire."

    Husna Kouser

    Director of HR, Skills Agency

  • "We were spending 15 hours a week screening resumes and doing first-round calls. Most candidates couldn't even explain their own projects and things they wrote on their resume.. Utkrusht's 20-minute real-job simulation assessments cut through that. We now just know before interviewing candidates they have shown strong technical skills."

    Vedang Manerikar

    Founder, Unravel Tech

  • "My senior developers were spending 20+ hours a week doing code pairing sessions and reviewing take-home assignments. With Utkrusht, All candidates complete the same “build something” assessment, the platform stack ranks them automatically, and I get a clear top 10. So we now only interview candidates who've already shown clear proof-of-skill."

FAQs

Can an HR team without a technical background use it?

Yes. The must-have skills are pulled from your job description, and the reason behind each score is written in plain language.

Does it work for non-technical roles?

It does, but it is specifically built for software and engineering roles. That focus is what lets it judge technical evidence in a resume.

Our ATS already gives a score. Why use another one?

Most ATS scores come from keyword matching. Utkrusht's score comes from real evidence and proof-of-work shown to you, and you can see the reason behind each skill.

Are low-scoring candidates rejected automatically?

No. A weak resume can still belong to a strong candidate, so selecting and rejecting is always your call.

Resumes are written to match the job description. How do you know the claims are true?

From the resume alone, you can't be sure. That is why shortlisted candidates take a Task and show the skill in a running system.
