A silent revenue leak disguised
as a hiring problem
Dr Lal PathLabs needed to hire at scale across dispersed geographies for 5 distinct roles — each with different skill benchmarks. Their manual screening process was creating a silent revenue leak. Every empty seat in a collection centre meant lost patients, lost tests, and lost revenue. Every single day.
The core problem
Empty Phlebotomist seats = lost diagnostic revenue per collection centre, per day. The business could not afford slow hiring.
The outcome
Same-day shortlisting across all 5 roles. HR bandwidth fully redirected from filtering to onboarding and retention.
The challenges
Challenge #1
High-volume, low-signal applications
Challenge #2
Geographic friction killing funnel quality
Challenge #3
Slow time-to-hire directly impacting revenue
High-volume, low-signal applications
Manual filtering consumed recruiter bandwidth with no consistent evaluation standard across interviewers or locations. Every day was a different bar.
Geographic friction killing funnel quality
Tier 2 and 3 candidates dropped off at in-person screening rounds. The best talent in smaller cities was simply unreachable through existing processes.
Slow time-to-hire directly impacting revenue
Every day a Phlebotomist seat stayed vacant was a day of lost diagnostic revenue for that collection centre — a direct P&L impact.
No consistent evaluation bar across locations
Assessment quality varied by recruiter mood, fatigue, and availability — making quality-of-hire unpredictable and impossible to benchmark at scale.
Solution
Candidate added to job queue
WhatsApp conversational screening
Voice AI fallback — the 3-hour rule
Instant pass / fail evaluation
Walk-in scheduling & reminders
Candidate added to job queue
A check-interest message is triggered automatically the moment a candidate enters the pipeline. Zero recruiter action needed to initiate outreach.
WhatsApp conversational screening
Candidate opts in and completes a role-specific flow on their own time, from anywhere in India — no travel, no scheduling friction.
Voice AI fallback — the 3-hour rule
No WhatsApp response within 3 hours? An AI-powered outbound voice call fires automatically. Channel preference never costs you a qualified hire.
Instant pass / fail evaluation
Responses scored against role-specific criteria defined by Dr Lal PathLabs' own HR team. Consistent, standardised, and bias-free across every location.
Walk-in scheduling & reminders
Passed candidates self-schedule their interview slot and receive automated reminders. Zero recruiter coordination required post-screening.
Before Hunar.AI, every single applicant required manual HR review — a 100% human workload. After deployment, 70% of screening is handled automatically by AI, with HR only touching the pre-qualified top 30%. This frees up significant recruiter time for higher-value work.
Manual screening took 4–7 days per role, varying by recruiter availability and workload. Hunar.AI compresses this to same-day across all five roles — Phlebotomist, TSM, ASM, Lab Tech, and Collection Agent — with zero role-to-role variance.
