Simplifying the HR Selection Process Through the Agiliway Solution

Finding top talent is a long and costly process full of unconscious bias. Understanding this challenge, a smart business owner bought an IT platform meant to simplify HR procedures and support data-driven hiring.

However, the platform required significant enhancements before it would compete successfully. Known for our proficiency in HR technology solutions, Agiliway was engaged to resolve existing issues and create valuable new features.

Project Challenges

• Complex platform architecture
• System instability
• Limited functionality
• Unfinished features
• Limited user permissions
• Lack of reporting
• Limited company customization
• Limited user roles
• Manual data management
• Manual resume scoring

Solutions

• Leveraged internal expertise to navigate the complex architecture as the existing platform used a mix of technologies, including MongoDB databases, NodeJS, and Angular.
• The initial focus prioritized system stability through unit testing, SSO implementation, CI/CD pipeline setup, performance optimization, and optimized hosting on Heroku with MongoDB storage.
• Developed new features and enhancements such as unbiased resume review, prioritized skills with automatic scoring, structured interviewing prompts, job description analysis, and GDPR compliance with data removal options.
• Polished existing features to enable interview continuation after interruptions, error identification during platform synchronization, and candidate disposition marking by admins and job owners.
• Implemented role-based access control for different modules (uploading, interviewing, etc.).
• Developed a report tab with automatic report generation and email delivery for features like jobs created, interviews conducted, etc.
• Created a company content tab for adding custom skills, questions, etc., with bias checks by the platform.
• Introduced new user roles – HR Admin and SysAdmin – with specific access levels as were available just basic user roles.
• Enabled export/import of company content (skills, questions) for pre-population before interviews.
• Integrated a third-party API for automated resume scoring based on content.
