OPAL is agentic AI recruitment software Malaysia HR teams and agencies use to move from Job Description creation to candidate sourcing, CV scoring, ranking, interview preparation, and onboarding — one connected pipeline that does the work your team shouldn't have to do manually.
How It Works
01
Our Job Description (JD) Clarity Bot guides you through structured questions and generates a complete, well-written job description in minutes — with must-have criteria clearly separated from nice-to-have. No more recycled JDs from last year's hire.
02
Two ways to build your pipeline — AI sourcing agents automatically find and download CVs from job portals, or bulk upload CVs manually from any source. Every CV flows into the same scoring engine either way.
03
Every CV is scored against your JD with documented reasoning — strengths, weaknesses, skill gaps, and a clear interview recommendation. Not a black box — a justified decision.
04
Review a ranked shortlist with full justification per candidate. Interview the right people. Close faster.
The Reality
Manual screening. Inconsistent scoring. Slow time-to-fill. Most Malaysian organisations have accepted this as normal. It isn't.

Our Philosophy
OPAL is not an autonomous hiring system. It's a co-pilot — handling the parts of recruitment that consume time without requiring judgment, so your recruiters can focus on conversations that actually decide whether someone belongs on your team.
Every score OPAL generates comes with documented reasoning: strengths, weaknesses, skill gaps, and a recommendation. Your recruiter reads it, agrees or disagrees, and decides. The human is always in the loop — just better informed when they get there.
Malaysian hiring has relationship, culture, and instinct dimensions that no AI should try to replace. We don't.
The screening is ours. The decision is yours.
The Full Workflow
OPAL covers the entire hiring lifecycle in a single connected pipeline. Each step hands off automatically to the next.
The Job Description Copilot helps recruiters turn unclear client job descriptions into structured, recruiter-ready briefs by removing ambiguity and separating must-have requirements from nice-to-have criteria.
Post to JobStreet, LinkedIn, Monster and other portals simultaneously from a single interface — no copy-paste, no manual logins.
Every incoming CV is scored against a structured rubric automatically derived from the job description. OPAL's AI engine evaluates each candidate in depth — generating a score, a verdict, and documented reasoning. Consistent, explainable, and auditable across every single CV.
Recruiters see a ranked shortlist with scores and evidence — not a pile of 200 unsorted CVs. The top candidates are immediately obvious.
The OPAL Scoring Engine evaluates every CV against a role-specific rubric — delivering an AI Score, verdict, strengths, and gaps in seconds, not hours.
For each shortlisted candidate, OPAL generates personalised interview questions based on gaps and strengths identified during CV scoring. Structured summaries produced automatically post-interview.
Real-time visibility into your entire pipeline — time to hire, drop-off rates, source performance, and candidate quality metrics. No more Excel tracking sheets.
Features & Capabilities
From sourcing to onboarding — OPAL combines intelligent automation, specialist AI bots, and deep integrations into a single recruitment toolkit.
Creates a complete hiring playbook per role — target companies, sourcing channels, budget estimates, and timelines. Especially powerful for hard-to-fill specialist and leadership roles.
Guides hiring managers through structured questions and generates a complete, well-written job description in minutes. Separates must-have from nice-to-have criteria and flags vague or conflicting requirements before they cause rework downstream.
Converts your JD into a polished, ready-to-publish job post for LinkedIn, JobStreet, and your ATS. Automatically structures the company intro, role summary, requirements, benefits, and SEO-friendly hashtags.
Our inference engine reads CVs the way a senior recruiter would — not keyword matching like a typical ATS black box. Every candidate gets a score plus documented reasoning: strengths, weaknesses, skill gaps, and a clear recommendation on whether to interview. Explainable, auditable, and consistent across every single CV.
Every shortlisted candidate is packaged into a professionally formatted submission report — AI scoring summary merged with a branded CV, ready to present to your client in one click. No manual formatting, no copy-paste, no inconsistent layouts.
Reformats raw CVs into your official branded Word template automatically. Standardises layout across all candidate submissions — skills, experience, education — without losing a single line of original content.
Generates personalised interview questions for each shortlisted candidate based on their CV scoring results — highlighting gaps to probe and strengths to validate. Produces structured interview summaries automatically for consistent hiring decisions.
Real-time pipeline visibility — time to hire, source performance, drop-off rates, and candidate quality metrics across all active roles and recruiters.

FAQ
OPAL is an agentic AI recruitment platform built for recruitment agencies and corporate HR & talent acquisition teams. It automates the full hiring lifecycle — from Job Description creation and candidate sourcing to CV scoring, ranking, interview preparation, and onboarding. One connected pipeline that handles the work your team shouldn't have to do manually.
Yes. OPAL integrates with Manatal, Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, and others. It can also operate standalone for teams without an existing ATS.
OPAL's sourcing agents work across job portals including JobStreet and LinkedIn. Agents mimic human recruiter behaviour — logging in, searching, shortlisting, and downloading CVs directly into the scoring pipeline. Manual bulk upload is also supported for CVs from any source.
OPAL uses an inference engine that reads CVs the way a senior recruiter would — not keyword matching like a typical ATS black box. Every candidate receives a score plus documented reasoning: strengths, weaknesses, skill gaps, and a clear recommendation on whether to interview. Your recruiter reads it, agrees or disagrees, and decides. The human is always in the loop.
No — and it isn't designed to. OPAL handles the parts of recruitment that don't require human judgment: reading CVs, scoring consistently, generating reports. The decisions that matter — culture fit, team dynamics, growth potential — stay entirely with your team. OPAL gives your recruiters better information faster. What they do with it is still human.
OPAL is priced based on your hiring volume and the modules you need. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all pricing — a 5-person agency has different needs from a 500-person enterprise HR team. Talk to us and we'll put together a practical proposal based on your actual requirements.
For most teams, OPAL is operational within 1–2 weeks. Setup involves configuring your scoring rubric, connecting your ATS or job portals, and a brief onboarding session with your team. We handle the technical setup — you focus on your first live role.
