Abstract

The competitive job market presents significant challenges for candidates, where approximately 40% of applicants are rejected due to performance anxiety and a lack of confidence. Traditional preparation methods, such as static guides or informal practice, often fail to provide the objective, micro-level feedback required for corporate success. This research proposes a new approach using a unified, serverless ecosystem to enhance interview readiness through an AI-powered Resume Analyzer and a Real-Time Voice-Agent. By integrating the Google Gemini 2.0 API for semantic parsing and the Vapi Web SDK for low-latency WebRTC-based audio orchestration, the system extracts critical professional metadata and evaluates delivery fluency via prosodic feature analysis. System evaluation demonstrated a highly effective Semantic Parsing Accuracy (SPA) of 94.2% for the ATS module and an average Round-Trip Latency (RTL) of 1.15 seconds for the real-time voice agent. The aim of this research is to propose a data-driven pipeline that democratizes professional coaching and eliminates visual demographic biases to ensure ethical governance and inclusive assessment by relying strictly on voice and text analytical modules.
