Latency, throughput, and cost show whether hiring systems can carry load
TalentAI covers the matching workflow together with candidate-library scale, P50 / P95 / P99, successful matches per minute, and cost per successful task.

TalentAI: hiring intelligence performance case
This case shows how a hiring intelligence system moves from demo to measurable delivery: the public workflow proves usability, estimates give target ranges, benchmarks verify P50 / P95 / QPS / cost, and evaluation verifies Recall@K, evidence coverage, and regression risk.
[ CASE SUMMARY ]
Business capacity, agent quality, and verification boundary first
Recall@K and Evidence Coverage measure matching judgment
A hiring intelligence system should show expert-approved candidates being recalled, ranked, and explained with resume evidence.
Estimates can be stated; verification needs scope
The public demo shows the workflow, engineering estimates give target ranges, controlled benchmarks verify numbers, and production SLA is calibrated in the client environment.
[ METRIC STATES ]
Engineering estimates need verification scope
The website can state engineering estimates and target baselines when assumptions, data scale, concurrency, and verification paths are explicit. The deliverable is making those numbers real, measured, and monitored.
Talent pool, JD matching, resume parsing, and evidence explanation are real surfaces for walkthroughs.
Target ranges are based on dataset size, concurrency, model routing, cache, and retry assumptions.
Fixed data, environment, version, and raw logs verify latency, throughput, failure rate, and unit cost.
Gold sets and regression sets verify recall, ranking, evidence coverage, and degradation risk.
[ RETRIEVAL QUALITY ]
RAG supports the retrieval quality behind the metrics
Hiring matching starts with accurate recall, stable ranking, and explicit evidence before generation or explanation happens.
Break the JD into retrieval intents
Role requirements are split into hard filters, skill entities, experience semantics, industry background, and risk signals before entering structured filters, full-text search, and vector recall.
Full-text, field filters, and vector recall run together
Chinese skill terms are covered by zhparser and full-text indexes, profile fields are filtered in PostgreSQL, and experience/project descriptions use pgvector HNSW for semantic recall.
RRF reduces single-channel recall bias
Keyword, field, and vector recall each have bias. RRF fuses rankings first, then the LLM Gateway reranks, scores, and explains role fit by dimension.
Match conclusions must carry evidence snippets
The output returns candidates, matched fields, resume evidence, risk points, and scoring rationale for recruiter review.
[ RAG STACK ]
Retrieval is split across fields, full-text, vectors, and reranking
[ DELIVERY FLOW ]
From resumes to explanations, then private operations
Resume structuring
PDF, Word, and text resumes become raw records plus experience, skills, education, companies, and project context.
JD query decomposition
Job descriptions are split into hard filters, soft preferences, skill entities, experience semantics, and negative risk signals.
Multi-channel recall and fusion
PostgreSQL, zhparser, and pgvector HNSW recall candidates in parallel, then RRF merges rankings.
Evidence explanation and private boundary
The LLM Gateway scores only over retrieved evidence while permissions, logs, backups, and recovery stay in a controlled client environment.
[ INTERFACE PROOF ]
The live UI handles demos; the case page explains delivery logic
Talent pool view
Scan candidates by skills, company, tenure, and match quality.
JD match view
Role requirements, candidate scores, and explanations live in one decision surface.
Resume parsing view
Uploads become structured experience and skill tags with less manual entry.

The method is to translate business complexity into latency, throughput, success rate, unit cost, recall quality, and human intervention rate, then decide retrieval, scheduling, model routing, evaluation, and private operations boundaries.
