Case Study

NervAI Backend

 Childfree BC, a platform advocating awareness and support for childfree individuals, needed a modern, user-friendly website that could better reflect their mission and engage their community. The previous site lacked responsiveness, modern design, and seamless navigation, making it harder for visitors to explore resources. DevVerx partnered with Childfree BC to revamp the website, improving UI/UX, site speed, and accessibility. The result was a modern, engaging, and scalable digital presence that aligned with their vision.

Case Study

Introduction

NervAI was created to automate the candidate interview process using AI. The backend was built to support asynchronous interview workflows, advanced integrations, and multimedia data storage. The platform empowers HR teams to scale candidate assessments with consistent evaluation standards while reducing interviewer workload.

Problem Statement

Recruiters face challenges in scaling interviews while ensuring fair, consistent, and unbiased evaluation. Traditional interviews are resource-intensive, lack structured analytics, and often require multiple tools to manage video, transcripts, and scoring.

Objectives

Implementation

  • Core Backend: Developed using Django REST Framework (async) with PostgreSQL as the database.
  • Asynchronous Processing: Leveraged Django async views for real-time AI interview flows.
  • Signals: Implemented Django signals to trigger post-interview tasks (e.g., evaluation storage, notification triggers).
  • Integrations:
    • Kombo → unified API for HRM & ATS system integrations.
    • ChatGPT → generates interview questions and evaluates candidate answers.
    • ElevenLabs → converts text questions to natural voice for AI-led interviews.
    • Keycloak → authentication and secure user management.
    • Stripe → subscription and payment handling.
  • Interview Storage: Both video recordings and transcripts are stored for auditing and review.
  • Scalability: Built API endpoints optimized for concurrent interviews and integrations.

Key Takeaways:

  • Combined AI, HR, and ATS systems into a single backend.
  • Created a flexible and scalable asynchronous API-based architecture.
  • Enabled multimedia storage and real-time analysis.

Results / Outcomes

  • KPIs / Metrics:
    • Reduced interviewer workload by ~50% through AI-driven assessments.
    • Average candidate evaluation time cut by 40%.
    • Enabled integrations with multiple HRM/ATS systems through a single Kombo API layer.
  • Before & After Comparison:
    • Before: Manual interviews, fragmented tools for transcripts, scoring, and HRM sync.
    • After: Automated AI-led interviews, unified backend, and streamlined HR integrations.

Key Improvements:

      • Standardized candidate evaluation process.
      • Enhanced candidate experience with natural AI-driven voice (ElevenLabs).
      • Secure and scalable backend with async Django REST and Keycloak.
