ORVA IT Recruit: Sri Lanka’s First AI-Powered Candidate Assessment Platform

Is There an AI Recruitment Platform in Sri Lanka? Yes ORVA IT Recruit.

If you’ve been searching for AI recruitment software in Sri Lanka, automated candidate screening in Colombo, or AI-powered hiring tools for Sri Lankan companies you’ve found it.

ORVA IT Recruit is Sri Lanka’s leading AI-powered candidate assessment platform. Built specifically for Sri Lankan businesses, it replaces slow, bias-prone, manual hiring with a fully automated system: AI-generated questions, timed proctored assessments, instant auto-scoring, and a live Recruitment AI that answers your questions about every candidate in seconds.

The Problem Every Sri Lankan HR Team Knows

Hiring in Sri Lanka is broken in three ways:

CVs over-promise. Candidates optimize their resumes for keywords, not truth. By the time you’ve read fifty CVs, you’ve screened fiction not capability. You have no real idea who can actually do the job.

Interviews take too long. Scheduling calls, coordinating calendars, conducting hours of conversations per candidate all before a single skill is objectively tested. For a company hiring ten roles simultaneously, this becomes a full-time job on its own.

Gut feel misses the best people. Unstructured interviews systematically favor confident presenters over genuine performers. The best candidate in the room isn’t always the most polished speaker. Bias conscious or not costs companies great hires every day.

ORVA IT Recruit was built to solve all three at once.

What Is ORVA IT Recruit?

ORVA IT Recruit is a timed, proctored candidate assessment platform designed for Sri Lankan companies of all sizes. It gives hiring teams a structured, evidence-based way to evaluate candidates before the first interview using AI to generate questions, automate scoring, and surface ranked shortlists from hundreds of applicants instantly.

The **platform is available now.**

How It Works: From Role Creation to Ranked Shortlist in 5 Steps

Step 1 Create a Job Role (Under 3 Minutes)

Log into the ORVA IT Recruit admin dashboard. Name the role, write a short description of what you need, and hit publish. The platform is designed for speed: the entire role setup takes under three minutes.

Step 2 Generate Questions with AI (Under 10 Seconds)

This is where ORVA IT Recruit separates itself from every other hiring tool in Sri Lanka.

Click “Generate with AI” and the system analyzes your role description across five dimensions simultaneously technical knowledge, problem-solving ability, situational judgment, behavioral competencies, and cultural fit. Within seconds, you have a complete, balanced question set tailored to that exact role.

You can also add questions manually, mix multiple-choice (MCQ) and free-text question formats, reorder questions, edit any AI-generated question, or delete what doesn’t fit. The AI gives you a starting point; you keep full control.

Step 3 Invite Candidates with One Click

Every job role gets a unique, shareable assessment link. Copy it into your invite email. Candidates click the link and start immediately no account creation required, no app to download, no friction.

The link works on desktop and mobile. Before starting, candidates are clearly informed of the time limit, the integrity monitoring rules, and the no-pause policy. There are no surprises.

Step 4 Candidates Take a Timed, Proctored Assessment

The moment a candidate clicks Start, a countdown begins. The assessment is fully proctored with real-time integrity monitoring running silently in the background throughout the session.

Candidates cannot pause, restart, or return to the assessment once started. Partial answers are accepted. Every action is logged.

The proctoring system captures:

• Tab switches and browser focus loss
• Copy and paste attempts
• DevTools access attempts
• Full session audit trail from start to submission

Each candidate receives an Integrity Score alongside their assessment results. You see not just what they answered, but how they answered — giving you the full picture before any interview.

Step 5 Review Scored Results and Shortlist Instantly

When the timer expires or a candidate submits, you get results immediately. No waiting. No manual review queue.

• MCQ answers are auto-scored instantly
• Free-text responses are AI-evaluated and ranked
• Every candidate’s answers, scores, CV, and salary expectation are visible in one unified dashboard
• Use the built-in Recruitment AI to ask natural language questions about your candidate pool

Features: Everything Built Into One Platform

ORVA IT Recruit is not a collection of bolt-on tools. Every feature listed below is included natively, with no third-party integrations required for core functionality.

AI Question Generation

Describe any role from software engineer to marketing intern — and the AI generates a complete, relevant question set covering technical depth, soft skills, situational judgment, and cultural alignment. Questions are job-specific, not generic. Generated in seconds.

Timed Assessments

Every assessment runs under a configurable time limit. The timer starts the moment the candidate clicks Start and cannot be paused. This creates a consistent, standardized condition for every applicant — eliminating the advantage of unlimited preparation time.

Proctored Integrity Monitoring

Real-time, passive monitoring throughout every assessment session. Candidates are warned upfront; the system logs silently. Tab switches, copy attempts, DevTools access, and browser focus events are all captured. You receive a per-candidate Integrity Score alongside their results.

Auto-Scoring Engine

MCQ answers are scored instantly and automatically. Free-text responses are AI-evaluated and ranked. Every candidate produces structured, comparable data making shortlisting a matter of filtering, not judgment.

Recruitment AI Chat

The built-in Recruitment AI reads your live candidate data and answers natural language questions in real time. No reports to generate. No spreadsheets to build. Just ask:

“Who scored the highest overall?” “Which candidates expect under Rs. 80,000?” “Summarise the top three candidates.” “Who flagged integrity issues?”

Powered by Groq. Responds instantly. Reads actual live assessment data — not static summaries.

One-Click Candidate Invites

Share a unique link via email. Candidates start immediately with no account required. Track who has been invited, who is in progress, and who has completed — from the admin dashboard in real time.

Salary Expectation Capture

Every assessment captures a candidate’s salary expectation alongside their answers. You walk into every interview with the full picture — no awkward surprises late in the process.

CV Upload and Pipeline Management

Candidates upload their CVs during the assessment. Answers, scores, CV, and salary expectation are all stored together, in one place. No chasing attachments. No scattered email threads.

Live Admin Dashboard

A real-time view of every active role: how many candidates invited, how many completed, submission rates, and top scorers all updating live. Shortlist, compare, and move candidates through the pipeline without leaving the platform.

Custom Job Roles

Create unlimited job roles, each with its own question bank, time limit, and assessment configuration. Every role is tailored to the exact skills you need not a one-size-fits-all template.

MCQ + Free-Text Question Formats

Mix question types within a single assessment. Use MCQ for objective, instantly-scorable questions. Use free-text for nuanced, role-specific answers that reveal how candidates actually think and communicate.

Real-Time Proctoring: No Blind Spots

One of the most critical features for Sri Lankan companies and one that no other local hiring tool offers is ORVA IT Recruit’s integrity monitoring system.

Every assessment session is monitored passively from start to finish. The system silently logs:

EventDetection MethodTab switchingBrowser focus APICopy & paste attemptsClipboard event interceptionDevTools accessDeveloper console detectionBrowser focus lossVisibility change eventsFull session timelineAudit log with timestamps

At the end of each assessment, every candidate receives an Integrity Score out of 100. A complete session audit log is available to administrators — showing exactly when each event occurred, to the second.

Candidates are warned before starting that monitoring is active. This upfront transparency is intentional: honest candidates proceed confidently; candidates planning to cheat self-select out before the assessment begins.

The Recruitment AI: Your Always-On Hiring Analyst

Traditional hiring analytics require reports. Reports take time to generate. By the time you’re reading a report, the data is already stale.

ORVA IT Recruit’s built-in Recruitment AI changes this entirely.

Instead of waiting for reports, you ask questions in plain language and get instant answers based on live candidate data. The AI reads your actual assessment results as they come in, not a cached snapshot.

This means the moment a candidate submits, you can ask the AI to compare them against everyone who has already completed. You can filter by score, salary expectation, or integrity rating. You can request a summary of your top three candidates, ready to share with a hiring manager, in seconds.

For HR teams managing multiple roles simultaneously, this alone saves hours per week.
