Pangaea X Boosts Hiring Accuracy with New AI Platform

Data workforce platform Pangaea X has reported a 65 per cent improvement in screening accuracy following internal trials of AuthenX, its AI-powered interview and verification platform purpose-built for assessing data analysts.

Developed in-house and specifically refined for the data and analytics sector, AuthenX addresses a persistent gap in hiring for data roles. Traditionally, interviews have focused narrowly on technical qualifications, overlooking critical skills such as communication, problem-solving and adaptability. To counter this, AuthenX utilises generative AI to assess both hard and soft skills in real time, offering a more accurate and scalable alternative to conventional screening methods such as static CVs or keyword-based filters. By employing conversation-based assessments, natural language processing (NLP) and behavioural analytics, the platform provides deeper, real-time insights into a candidate’s actual capabilities. Organisations can better evaluate candidates’ technical expertise, problem-solving approach and behavioural traits within one of the most technically demanding and often misjudged talent categories.

The platform is designed not as a hiring engine but as a screening and evaluation tool. This enables organisations to verify skills, assess behaviour, and shortlist candidates based on measurable indicators. Its core feature is an AI-powered structured interview experience, built to analyse how candidates think, communicate and approach challenges. Alongside this, advanced generative AI models review CVs, portfolios and professional profiles against specific skills or roles, delivering a holistic view of each candidate.

Candidate authentication has become a vital component of effective recruitment, particularly in roles involving sensitive data or complex decision-making. AuthenX introduces a structured, repeatable method to verify candidate claims through AI-led analysis of portfolios, professional profiles and interview responses. This not only reduces the risk of misrepresentation but also supports hiring teams in making more informed, defensible decisions. By issuing digital badges and role-specific rankings, the platform helps surface credible professionals in increasingly competitive and remote-first hiring environments.

“Hiring for technical roles remains one of the most resource-intensive tasks for organisations,” stated Jadd Elliot Dib, CEO of Pangaea X. “AuthenX applies AI to the core of this challenge — reducing manual screening time, increasing objectivity and enabling companies to identify true capability with greater accuracy.”

AuthenX ensures a higher level of trust and accuracy in shortlisting by delivering authenticated candidates through its AI-powered assessments. This makes it a scalable, bias-reducing solution ideal for high-volume recruitment in data-driven industries. Early adoption of AuthenX has delivered strong results — not only improving candidate-job alignment and reducing time-to-hire but also enabling recruiters to manage greater volumes with increased efficiency.

The feature forms part of Pangaea X’s wider ecosystem, which supports the full lifecycle of data project delivery — from recruitment and verification to execution and performance oversight. AuthenX reflects the company’s commitment to applying technology in ways that enhance trust, quality and efficiency across the data workforce.
