India’s hiring engine is running hot. Job portals handle 7 million fresh applications every month, and recruiters admit they spend up to 70% of their week just sorting resumes. Artificial intelligence is already shrinking that slog. Screening bots parse a thousand CVs in 2 minutes, chat assistants fix interview slots while you sleep, and predictive
