Interactive Hiring Platform
Perkwiz is a video-based platform designed to streamline communication between job seekers and hiring managers. The solution leverages cross-platform compatibility and a robust backend, offering seamless video creation and interaction. By fostering a more engaging and user-friendly recruitment process, Perkwiz addresses key inefficiencies in traditional recruitment methods.
Problem Statement
Our client faced several challenges in their recruitment process, which hindered both engagement and efficiency. These included:
- Lack of Engagement: Traditional text-based communication methods in job applications failed to capture the attention of job seekers and hiring managers, resulting in missed opportunities for dynamic interaction.
- Complex Backend Requirements: Ensuring smooth video streaming and managing large amounts of data required a backend infrastructure that could support high concurrency and efficient data handling.
- Data Scalability Needs: As user engagement grew, maintaining a scalable backend to manage increasing volumes of data, particularly video content and user interactions, became essential.
Solution Statement
To resolve these challenges, Techling implemented a comprehensive solution with the following key features:
- Cross-Platform Video Interaction: By using React Native, we ensured that the application delivered a consistent user experience across both iOS and Android devices. This cross-platform solution allowed job seekers and hiring managers to engage via video, making the recruitment process more personal and interactive.
- Efficient Data Management and Querying: We integrated a GraphQL-based API with the Node.js backend, optimizing the performance of data handling by reducing unnecessary data retrieval and enabling faster, more efficient querying.
- Scalable and Flexible Database: MongoDB was chosen for its ability to provide scalable, flexible storage, supporting the application’s increasing data demands and diverse data types, particularly video content and user interactions.
- Robust Deployment and Security: The solution was deployed on AWS for reliable cloud infrastructure, and JWT (JSON Web Tokens) were used for secure authentication, ensuring user data protection and secure access across the platform.
Automated Development Workflow: We incorporated CI/CD pipelines using AWS CodePipeline and Jenkins to streamline development and deployment processes, reducing deployment time and improving overall system maintainability.
