WorkNXL Case Study: Turning an Applicant Tracking System into an AI Recruitment Platform

WorkNXL is Gunadhya's own applicant tracking system. We added OpenAI to four of its six hiring steps — job descriptions, resume parsing, shortlisting and interview prep — without rebuilding the product or changing its plans and prices.

At a glance

  1. Starting point. A working six-step ATS with paying customers on Petite, Pro and Grande plans.
  2. The problem. Recruiters still wrote JDs, read resumes and prepared interviews by hand.
  3. What we did. Built AI into 4 of the 6 steps inside the existing PHP/CodeIgniter app.
  4. What stayed the same. Workflow, plans and prices — AI included in every plan.
  5. Result. JD writing from 60 minutes to under a minute; 4000+ resumes parsed; 30+ JDs generated.

The Challenge

A capable ATS where the slow work still fell to recruiters

WorkNXL organised the hiring workflow, but the slow work inside each step still fell to recruiters. Customers came to it because they were juggling resumes, and that load grows with every opening.

01

Manual work inside each step

Job descriptions, resume reading and interview prep were all done by hand.

02

Too many resumes

Volume grows with every opening.

03

A workflow to protect

Customers already knew the six steps and their plans. AI had to fit in, not replace.

04

Simple for small teams

Many users have no HR specialist, so new features had to stay easy.

Our Approach

No rebuild. AI inside the steps customers already use.

We didn't rebuild WorkNXL or launch a separate AI tool. We kept the six steps, added AI where recruiters spent the most time, and kept every AI output editable so the recruiter stays in control. Select a step to see what changed.

Step 1 · Add Job — AI job descriptions

Before

Recruiters wrote every job description by hand.

After

Enter the role, required skills and details; OpenAI returns a structured job description to review and edit before publishing.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is WorkNXL?

WorkNXL is an applicant tracking system built and owned by Gunadhya Software Solutions. It covers six hiring steps — add job, listing, application, applicant list, shortlisting and interview — with AI built into four of them. It is aimed at small businesses and HR teams.

What AI features does WorkNXL have?

AI job description generation, smart resume parsing with applicant insights, skill-to-requirement shortlisting, and role-specific interview questions. Interview scheduling connects to Google Calendar. Every AI output can be edited before use.

Can you add AI to an existing application without rebuilding it?

Yes. WorkNXL runs on PHP and CodeIgniter. We added OpenAI as services inside the existing workflow steps, so the product, data and plans stayed the same. We can do the same for other legacy apps.

Is the WorkNXL JD Generator free?

Yes. The public JD Generator creates a structured job description from three inputs in seconds, at no cost and with no sign-up.

Did WorkNXL prices change after AI was added?

No. Petite, Pro and Grande plans kept their prices and limits, and AI is included in every plan.
