How Agiliway Transforms the Recruitment Platform?
Operating a complex recruiting platform was hampering efficiency and preventing them from attracting the best talent. With expertise, Agiliway has taken responsibility and breathed new life into the system.
System Stabilization: The Agiliway team-initiated system stabilization efforts by implementing unit tests to ensure code validity and address performance issues. Single Sign-On (SSO) issues were also resolved, enabling seamless platform access for recruiters and HR specialists. Additionally, settled Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to accelerate development and deployment processes.
Performance Optimization: The Agiliway team optimized the platform’s performance by fine-tuning NodeJS and AngularJS components. Also, optimal hosting was configured on Heroku and MongoDB databases, ensuring efficient data storage and retrieval. The performance and functionality have been greatly improved by adding new features.
New Feature Development: In addition to system enhancements, Agiliway engineers introduced new features to enable the automation of various key processes:
-
Unbiased Resume Reviewing
The system now automatically conceals personal details such as name, age, gender, previous jobs, and social media links in applicant resumes, mitigating unconscious bias during the review process.
-
Job Skills Prioritization
Recruiters or HR managers can assign values to job skills, facilitating objective assessment of applicants based on predefined criteria. Scores are recalculated automatically when priorities are adjusted.
-
Structured Interviewing
The system suggests questions aligned with hiring criteria, enhancing interview effectiveness, and reducing preparation time.
-
Job Description Enhancement
Analyzes job descriptions and provides feedback to improve wording, maximizing response rates.
-
GDPR-Compliant Functionality
The data in the system can be configured to be automatically deleted. This setting is a custom solution in the organization, according to which the system deletes all information about specific users, individually or in a group. Customizable data deletion option ensures compliance with user information deletion requests in organizations.
-
Interview Pausing and Resumption
In the scenario of an interview from which a candidate stopped owing to, say, accidentally shutting the question window or other technical concerns. It is now feasible to continue with the interview regardless of the reasons that may arise. Candidates can pause and resume interviews at some point, addressing technical interruptions.

Reporting Capabilities

Users can receive these reports automatically via email, eliminating the need to request them manually. Special permissions are assigned to System Administrator and Super Admin roles, which provide controlled access to data for registered companies.
