There’s a hidden cost in every resume, this founder built an AI to find it

‘We didn’t build EzRecruit to help agencies work harder. We built it to help them see and reduce the cost hidden inside every profile they submit,’ said Richa Bajaj, founder of DeepTalent Technologies, describing the thinking behind her company’s newly launched platform.

EzRecruit.ai is an AI-powered ‘Agency Operating System’ aimed at India’s estimated 60,000 recruitment consultants and placement agencies, most of whom currently rely on spreadsheets, WhatsApp and individual memory rather than dedicated software. Unlike conventional applicant tracking systems built for corporate HR teams running a single hiring funnel, EzRecruit is designed around how consultancies actually work, managing multiple client mandates at the same time.

The platform applies AI across the recruitment cycle, from automated resume parsing to a conversational search tool that lets recruiters query their candidate database in plain language, alongside WhatsApp-based interview scheduling and real-time leadership dashboards.

The company has seen adoption among agencies in India as well as early interest from recruitment consultants in the United States and Dubai. eSoft Labs, a Hyderabad-based recruitment and staffing firm, said the platform has improved delivery capacity and given leadership better visibility into performance.
