Press Release Overview
Xobin, a talent‑intelligence firm founded in 2016, announced on 14 July 2026 from Chennai the launch of NURA, an artificial‑intelligence‑driven hiring agent designed for large‑scale enterprise recruitment.
Product Capabilities
NURA automates the early hiring workflow by parsing resumes, conducting AI‑based interviews, evaluating communication, technical knowledge, behavioural competencies and overall job readiness, and then scheduling calendar invitations with human recruiters. The platform can process up to one million resumes in roughly ten minutes and delivers structured AI interviews that assess candidates on multiple dimensions.
Market Adoption
Four of the top ten Indian information‑technology services firms and two of the top five Indian banks have already begun using NURA, indicating early enterprise trust in the solution.
Target Audience and Configuration
The agent is built for enterprises, staffing firms, Fortune 500 companies and any high‑volume hiring teams, covering technical, business, customer‑facing, leadership and campus recruitment. Organisations can customise role‑specific interview scripts and evaluation frameworks while maintaining consistent, standardised assessment criteria.
Executive Commentary
Founder and CEO Guruprakash Sivabalan stated that “the future of recruitment isn’t AI replacing recruiters, it’s AI working alongside recruiters,” adding that the product was shaped by recruiter and candidate feedback to close the “opacity” gap and improve completion rates. Co‑founder and COO Amrit Acharya said NURA removes repetitive, high‑volume tasks, enabling recruiters to concentrate on judgment, relationships and exceptional hiring decisions.
Strategic Significance
Xobin positions NURA as the next step toward AI‑native recruitment workflows, expecting intelligent agents to become the operating layer for faster, more objective, skills‑first hiring across enterprises.
