How Blue Ashva Capital Cut Hiring Time by 50% With AI-Powered Skill Assessments

As one of India's most active deep-tech investors, Blue Ashva Capital's lean 15-person team needed every hire to count. But when it came to building their investment team, they hit a wall: candidates with near-identical profiles on paper.

With resumes that all looked the same, the team had no reliable way to differentiate real capability from polished CVs. The process was entirely manual — screen resumes, schedule calls, hope for the best. The result? Hiring dragged on, and the cost was measured in the thing a small fund can least afford to lose: time.

Blue Ashva Capital needed something that could surface real skill differences between seemingly identical candidates. Cohesyve's AI-generated assessments and proctored testing environment delivered exactly that.

Setup was immediate. The team was up and running within a single day — deploying role-specific assessments for their investment team with positive feedback from the start.

What sealed the deal wasn't just speed — it was the proctoring. In one pivotal moment, the system flagged a candidate who was using external help during the assessment. That result clearly showed who was genuine and who wasn't. Without Cohesyve, that candidate might have made it through.

The improvements went beyond speed. With structured, role-specific assessments, Blue Ashva Capital reduced the risk of bad hires slipping through. Candidates also responded well — they felt more included in the process, with a fair and transparent way to demonstrate their abilities beyond what a resume could show.
