The Challenge

Every year, École des Ponts Business School, one of Europe's top ranked business schools, processes thousands of applications, CVs, identity documents, transcripts and test reports. Until now, this was fully a manual handling process resulting in processing times often stretching to several weeks or more.

This resulted in escalating operational costs through repeated human validations and rechecks and exposed the school to human error and data inconsistencies.

"We are convinced that well-configured and well-governed AI is a true co-pilot for our admissions teams, bringing new levels of speed, fairness, and confidence to the selection process by helping to reduce human biases. Most importantly, it gives us the freedom to focus less on procedures and more on our candidates—their stories, their aspirations, and the human side of admissions"

The Solution

In March 2025, École des Ponts Business School launched a pilot with Semantikmatch to automate the parsing and analysis of application dossiers.

Our AI platform was deployed successfully and during the pilot phase successfully extracted candidate identity data with 100% accuracy, identified professional experience with 96% precision, and assessed academic criteria according to admissions guidelines at a reliability rate between 96% and 98%.

Solution Process

Our Impact

On a sample of 500 applications, these performance levels have radically accelerated the review cycle: what once required up to 20 minutes of manual evaluation is now completed in mere seconds, all while delivering 10x the accuracy of manual data entry and eliminating errors, bias and omissions.

Optimized Candidate Experience

Beyond internal efficiency gains, Semantikmatch elevates the applicant journey. Candidates gain access to a real-time portal showing the completeness of their file, with instant notifications for any missing documents or clarifications needed.

Next Steps
