Jobytube

About

Jobytube is an interactive job search site. On Jobytube, job seekers can present themselves by uploading a brief self-introduction video instead of text resumes. The platform offers a shortcut in the screening process and helps both companies and candidates to have more fun during the recruitment process.

Project challenges

• To simplify user actions while adding self-introduction videos, we had to provide job seekers with convenient tools allowing them to adjust videos to platform requirements;
• Large volumes of video content and applicant tracking system heavy data load required a thorough work on the platform architecture and its database structure;

Solutions

• Our team decided to use Amazon S3 to store the content and Amazon Cloudfront to guarantee high access speed;
• We used FFmpeg video and audio software suite so that users would have the ability to convert and edit videos right on the platform.
