Interview Management System with Internal Video Conferencing

The Interview Management System with Internal Video Conferencing is a comprehensive platform designed to streamline the interview process for organizations. It provides a centralized solution for scheduling, user management, and real-time video conferencing, making the hiring process more efficient and effective.

Problem

Managing interviews can be complex, involving coordinating schedules, ensuring secure and reliable communication, and maintaining a smooth process from scheduling to post-interview feedback. Traditional methods often rely on multiple tools, leading to inefficiencies and potential security risks. This system was developed to address these challenges by providing an all-in-one solution with internal video conferencing capabilities.

Solution

The system was built using a robust backend framework with PHP and the Laravel framework, ensuring scalability and security. The front-end was developed using Livewire for dynamic, real-time interactions and Tailwind CSS for a modern, responsive design.

For video conferencing, the system integrates with Jitsi Meet for internal communications and Zoom Meet API for additional flexibility. This allows interviewers to choose the most suitable platform for their needs, whether it’s for internal team meetings or external candidate interviews.

Challenges and Solutions

One of the primary challenges was integrating multiple video conferencing platforms into the system. To address this, we developed a modular architecture that allows easy switching between different video conferencing providers, ensuring that the system remains flexible and adaptable to changing needs.

Another challenge was ensuring that the system is user-friendly for both interviewers and candidates. We achieved this by designing an intuitive interface with clear instructions and real-time feedback, making the interview process as smooth as possible for all users.
