The HR department always has a tough role to play when it comes to selecting candidates by shortlisting resumes. Personal interviews and group discussions are conducted with an aim to analyze a person’s communication skills, reaction time, problem-solving skills, general knowledge, etc. Each applicant has a unique personality while every role in a company demands a certain set of qualities in a candidate to be able to maintain efficiency and productivity in a team-based environment. Different models that are commonly made use of to characterize the personality of an individual are the Big Five model, the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), DiSC assessment, etc. Most of the existing systems make use of a standard questionnaire in order to collect responses from candidates. These questions are meant to reveal a person’s strengths and weaknesses along with his or her comfort zones but do not always provide accurate results due to the candidates’ choice of responses provided irrespective of their true nature. The assessment of a candidate’s traits in the proposed system is done by using the responses recorded for a picture-based test instead of a questionnaire which is then subjected to the OCEAN model to obtain results.
