How Kakoo Software Transformed My Career in Talent Acquisition as a Senior Java Backend Developer

In today’s fast-paced tech world, creating scalable, AI-driven SaaS platforms requires not only technical skill but also a vision for transforming how businesses operate. I had the privilege of contributing to one such ambitious endeavor: Kakoo Software, a comprehensive solution reshaping the future of recruitment and HR management.

Building an AI-Powered Recruitment Ecosystem

As a Senior Java Backend Developer, I played a key role in developing Kakoo Software from the ground up. This isn’t just another HR tool—it’s an end-to-end talent management ecosystem that automates and enhances every stage of the recruitment process.

Here’s how it works:

• AI CV Scoring
  Candidates upload their CVs, which our intelligent AI agent instantly analyzes and scores for relevance to open positions.

• AI-Powered Audio Interviews
  Qualified candidates receive real-time audio calls from the AI agent, conducting dynamic interviews customized to each resume.

• AI Video Interviews
  Depending on the audio interview results, the system automatically schedules video interviews, sending secure links similar to Google Meet. The AI agent leads these conversations, records them, evaluates responses, and calculates final scores.

Intelligent Job Matching and Seamless Assessments

When companies post a job, Kakoo’s AI matches them to the most qualified candidates based on detailed scoring. If a candidate isn’t a fit, they’re courteously filtered out, saving hiring managers time and ensuring top-quality matches.

One of my favorite features is AI-generated job descriptions—simply enter a job title, and the system creates polished descriptions ready to post across platforms or send directly to prospects.

Assessments are fully integrated as well. The AI generates tailored tests, delivers them to candidates, and manages everything within Kakoo’s ecosystem.

Kakoo doesn’t stop at hiring. It includes robust tools to handle the entire employee lifecycle:

• CRM for client relationship management

• Time tracking, task sheets, and timesheet approvals

• Lead generation, invoicing, and quotations

• Real-time notifications and alerts via Firebase

• Smooth conversion of candidates into employees

Once someone is hired, they move seamlessly into the HR dashboard to submit timesheets and tasks, which HR teams can review and approve. Invoices are generated automatically, closing the loop between hiring and operations.
