Where hiring teams were.
Chapta is a two-sided hiring platform: candidates build their profile in a conversation with the app, and the employers hiring them work from the portal this case is about. Those employers post a role, receive a flood of speculative applications, then hand the sorting to a keyword filter that cannot see values, working style or aspiration. Good candidates are screened out for the wrong words, and the ones who make it through arrive with a CV that hides as much as it shows.
The employer side of Chapta matches candidates to the role and sends them through with the reasoning attached. A behavioural read sits alongside the experience, and contact opens only once both sides have opted in, so the first conversation is with someone who has already chosen to have it.
Inside the employer portal.
Candidates arrive already matched to the role, each with a match strength, their last two roles and the skills behind the match. The employer reviews a shortlist of people, each with the evidence for their place on it.
The candidate record carries the match insights panel, where role experience, location, responsibilities, industry and work arrangement are ticked off one by one and the product and sales-channel criteria show plainly where the candidate does not fit.
The employer writes the role once and sets the criteria the matching runs against, with the form warning in plain terms that criteria drawn too tight will return few matches or none.
Job setup is split into basics, detail, compensation and role specifics, with progress tracked against each so a half-finished role is obvious rather than quietly live.

What the portal does.
01
Matched candidates, ranked by fit
The employer opens a role and finds candidates the model has already matched to it, ranked by fit, each one arriving as a person with the history and the skills behind the match visible on the card.
02
Every match explains itself
The match is broken down criterion by criterion, showing where the candidate and the role line up and where they do not, and the employer reads that reasoning before deciding whether to signal interest.
03
Behavioural fit alongside the skills
A behavioural read taken during candidate onboarding puts working style and team posture next to the experience, so the shortlist speaks to how someone works as well as to what they have done.
04
Contact gated by mutual interest
The employer and the candidate can only talk once both have opted in. First contact is warm and informed, and the candidate is never left in silence.
What the employer gets.
Read the fit up front
The employer sees where a candidate aligns with the role and where they do not before spending an hour in an interview to find out.
A shortlist about people
Behavioural fit and working style sit next to the experience, so the shortlist reflects who the person is and how they will work with the team already in place.
Contact worth having
Mutual interest means every first message lands with a candidate who has already chosen to talk, so outreach stops being a cold-send.
A brand that does not ghost
Status is visible to both sides, so candidates are kept informed and the employer reputation is not quietly eroded by silence.
Where the portal is now.
The portal is live. Employers open a role in it and work the shortlist the matching returns, with first contact going only to candidates who have already opted in. Chapta has not yet produced placement or revenue figures.
