About RVS iGlobal

RVS iGlobal is a white-label IT services provider delivering 24/7 Network Operations Centre (NOC), IT Helpdesk, Consultancy, and Project Management to Managed Service Providers and large enterprises. Their clients include law firms, hotel chains, and aeronautic companies across the UK, India, Canada, and Europe.

The volume and technical specificity of these roles created a persistent screening bottleneck.

The Challenge

A growing recruitment operation stretched across three time zones — with no scalable way to screen candidates.

Before TalentSprout, every candidate went through a manual phone screen. Recruiters in the UK coordinated calls with candidates in India, Canada, and across Europe — creating a bottleneck of 30–45+ hours per hiring cycle just on initial screening.

The problems compounded. Phone tag across time zones caused delays. Different recruiters evaluated candidates inconsistently, making shortlist quality unpredictable. There was no structured evaluation evidence to share with end clients — just recruiter notes. And the slow time-to-submit meant losing placements to competing providers who could deliver candidates faster.

“With TalentSprout we can turn around role requirements for our clients a lot easier and quicker than we could previously. That's a real game-changer for us.”

The Solution

AI-powered async screening that works across every time zone — integrated directly into the existing ATS workflow.

RVS iGlobal launched TalentSprout on March 2, 2026 with a 30-day pilot. Candidates now complete AI-powered screening interviews on their own time — nights, weekends, from any timezone — eliminating the phone tag that had been slowing down the process.

Critically, TalentSprout plugs directly into Zoho Recruit — the ATS RVS iGlobal already runs on. Interview invitations, scorecards, and ranked shortlists all flow through the system automatically, keeping recruiters inside one tool.

Built-in cheating detection flagged candidates reading from screens during their interviews (Tim personally identified suspicious behavior at specific timestamps on flagged sessions). And the team expanded organically from 4 roles to 9 without being asked — they saw the results and added more on their own.

Seamless Zoho Recruit Integration

RVS iGlobal's entire recruitment workflow runs through Zoho Recruit. TalentSprout connects via one-click OAuth — when a candidate's status changes in the ATS, an interview invitation fires automatically. Once the candidate completes their AI interview, scores, performance summaries, and full report links sync back as notes on the candidate record.

This closed-loop integration means recruiters never leave Zoho. They see ranked shortlists, AI-generated evaluations, and flagged candidates — all inside the tool they already use every day. No copy-pasting, no tab switching, no extra logins.

The numbers tell the story. 248 candidates screened across 9 technical roles, with an 84% completion rate — meaning the vast majority of candidates who started the AI interview finished it. 103 were automatically shortlisted (42% rate), with the highest-quality results coming from the Senior Azure Infrastructure role (63% shortlisted) and Power BI Developer role (70% shortlisted).

The platform's built-in fraud detection flagged 27 candidates (11% flag rate) for behaviors like reading from screens during interviews — something that would have been invisible in a phone screen. Speed was equally transformative: interviews averaged 5–10 minutes compared to 30–45 minute phone screens, making the process 4x faster overall.

Perhaps the strongest signal was organic adoption. The team started with 4 roles and expanded to 9 without being prompted — they saw the results and added more on their own.

“It really worked wonders for the service analyst role. We didn't have to make any initial calls — the candidates were already screened through TalentSprout. That alone saved us a huge amount of time.”

“We didn't need to speak to candidates at all initially. When they applied, we already had a shortlisted list ready to go — we forwarded profiles directly to the client. No screening calls required from our side, which saved us a tremendous amount of time.”

What's Next

After a successful pilot, RVS iGlobal transitioned to a full partnership on Day 1 — there was no deliberation period. The results spoke for themselves.

Since then, usage has accelerated rather than plateaued. The team is now averaging 4.6 interviews per day across their active roles. Monthly strategy calls are in place to optimize scoring criteria, and active workstreams include CV template customization, language translations for multi-region candidate pools, and deeper Zoho Recruit integration.

The longer they use it, the better the results get — and the data shows they're not slowing down.

Matthew Stewart, Founder & CEO of TalentSprout

From the founder

“RVS iGlobal is exactly the kind of partnership we built TalentSprout for. They came in with a clear problem — too many candidates, not enough hours — and within weeks their team was operating at a completely different speed. What makes this special isn't just the 115 hours saved, it's that Tim's team kept adding more roles on their own because they trusted the results. That organic adoption is the strongest signal a product can get.”
