About The Project

The founders of Ratio wanted to create an AI-powered hiring platform to automate the talent acquisition process. They wanted to combine traditional ATS (Applicant Tracking System) capabilities with AI-powered features like behavioral matching, skill inference, and interview automation.

Moreover, they wanted the product to be cloud-based, GDPR-compliant, and fast to iterate. So our team worked as their extended tech arm, delivering everything from concept to MVP and post-launch optimization.

Key Features

Here are some of the top features we added to Ratio’s HR management software to improve its ATS powers.

AI-Powered Candidate Matching

We used NLP and machine learning to match applicants to job descriptions based on skills and experience, along with culture fit indicators.

Automated Screening Workflows

Built customizable workflows for recruiters to filter, tag, and shortlist candidates with automated scoring.

Real-Time Collaboration Tools

Integrated live feedback loops, comment tagging, and multi-user review boards to help recruitment teams sync seamlessly.

Dashboard for Hiring Insights

Designed a performance dashboard offering metrics like average time-to-hire, conversion funnels, and source channel ROI.

Interview Scheduling & Video Recording

Added calendar sync, automated reminders, and built-in one-way video interview functionality with feedback scoring.

Security & Compliance Layer

Ensured end-to-end data encryption, GDPR-safe data storage, and permission roles for different HR departments.

Major Project Challenges

Building a next-generation platform for recruitment teams requires extensive planning and brings its own challenges. Below are the main challenges we needed to take care of:

The client’s in-house product team lacked the expertise and bandwidth to build an AI-based platform.
Operating across Europe required strict GDPR compliance and enterprise-grade access control. Their existing setup couldn’t handle that.
The client asked for integrations with job boards, calendar tools, and internal HR systems. It required building robust and flexible APIs.
They had secured seed funding and urgently wanted to develop an MVP without compromising quality.
With many traditional ATS tools available in the market, Ratio needed a unique value proposition built around automation, intelligence, and UX.

Solutions & Impact

To turn their vision into a functional product, we gathered a team of experts with different skill sets. Our first step in the development process was a design sprint, followed by Agile iterations.

Here are some key highlights of our approach:

Built a scalable backend with Python & Django REST framework for a modular API-driven architecture.
Developed a responsive UI using React.js and Tailwind CSS. It helped in creating a fast and consistent user experience across various devices.
Integrated OpenAI’s GPT-4 API to automate candidate summaries and skill extraction, enhancing recruiter efficiency.
Leveraged Twilio Video and AWS S3 for encrypted video interviews and secure storage, ensuring data privacy.
Automated testing and deployment via GitHub Actions, with Dockerized containers on AWS ECS for reliable hosting.
