About the project

We created an easy-to-use automated video interview platform that improves job selection.

Among other solutions, the project offers the following:
  • Short one-way video responses to personalized surveys;
  • Visual and functional representation of a web platform;
  • Ability to expand the platform over time;
  • Implementing a design.

Challenges to overcome

Startup and small business owners, together with their Hiring managers, face a lot of challenges.

Just imagine feeling pressure to fill open positions, identifying suitable candidates, managing numerous job postings, holding tons of face-to-face interactions, and all that goes with managing your daily non-hiring tasks.

Develop an employment process that is candidate-friendly. For example, don’t make your candidate leave work in the middle of the day for a one-hour screening interview on the other side of town.

In addition, modern technology makes communication more manageable, especially when it comes to HR-related interaction.

Our approach to working with HelloCecil

We listen

HelloCecil client wanted a fresh and easy-to-use platform that could be expanded over time, so we helped them do just that!

We communicate

With HelloCecil, we held live meetings every week to actively discuss project updates, new ideas, improvements, and plans. This way, our clients were regularly updated.

We do

For HelloCecil, a team of highly-skilled engineers was involved in front-end and back-end development, along with an experienced Project manager and Account manager to guide and support both team and the client along the way.

Business results

As a result, we were able to build one of the most user-friendly and straightforward platforms for video interviewing.

HelloCecil helps business owners and hiring staff go beyond the resume and find their next top talent much faster by creating custom questions, sharing the questionnaire with numerous candidates, comparing candidate responses, and rating candidates.

In the first three months, the company’s customers used the HelloCecil platform for more than 2,000 video screenings.

As a result, the client was thinking about expanding the business into other areas outside of HR Tech.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the top features to look for in a video interview platform?

A modern automated video interview platform must optimize the hiring process and be highly user-friendly. Key features to prioritize include:
  • Pre-Recorded (One-Way) Video Responses: Allowing candidates to record short video answers to custom question sets at their convenience.
  • Candidate Management & Evaluation: Dashboards that enable hiring managers to share questionnaires, easily compare responses, rate candidates, and collaborate across teams.
  • Seamless User Experience: Simple, intuitive navigation that helps team members manage high volumes of video screenings without manual overhead.

Estimating the cost of building a custom automated video interview platform depends on the functional complexity, feature depth, and chosen platform architecture. For an early-stage Startup looking to validate a concept, launching with a robust MVP typically costs $20,000-$80,000. If you plan to build a comprehensive, enterprise-level HR Tech suite with deep third-party integrations and custom branding, budgets can range from $150,000 to over $300,000. Additionally, organizations should budget 15% to 20% of the initial build cost annually for hosting, updates, and ongoing compliance maintenance.

When looking for HR Tech solutions, organizations often choose custom software engineering agencies like JetRuby Agency, which specializes in tailored video-interviewing platforms, over rigid off-the-shelf software. For a fast-growing Startup or scaling Small businesses, selecting the right HR development partner involves:
  • Proven Results: Seek partners with verified case studies. For example, JetRuby built an automated video interview platform for HelloCecil that supported over 2,000 video screenings in its first three months.
  • Domain Expertise & Compliance: Ensure the team has deep knowledge of HR workflows and adheres to strict standards such as SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO guidelines.
  • Transparent Processes: Choose a partner who prioritizes active, transparent communication to keep the project aligned.
  • After-Launch Support: Confirm they offer long-term monitoring, performance audits, and software updates as your operations scale.
