Story

Vima, a Swiss HR Tech startup, was founded on the idea that traditional hiring is broken. Resumes fail to capture human potential. Their vision was an AI video platform to gain deeper, objective insights into candidates by analyzing sentiment and non-verbal cues. While they had the innovative concept, they faced the critical enterprise hurdle: transforming a demo into a secure, scalable B2B platform that large organizations could trust.

Business Impact

Unlocking Market Viability and Client Acquisition

This foundational work was the critical catalyst that allowed Vima to move beyond showcases and begin deploying its solution in live enterprise environments. The transition from a demo to a fully operational enterprise solution proved the platform's market viability and directly enabled Vima to successfully acquire its first enterprise clients, fueling business growth.

A 40% Reduction in Time-to-Hire

The automation delivered a significant competitive advantage for Vima's clients, resulting in a 40% reduction in time-to-hire. This acceleration of the hiring cycle allows organizations to secure top talent faster. The platform also saved an estimated 15 hours of administrative work per hire, boosting overall HR efficiency and productivity.

Improving Hire Quality and User Engagement

This responsible, "AI-Co-Pilot" approach increased candidate assessment accuracy by an estimated 35%. By providing deeper insights and flagging content misalignments, the platform helps organizations improve their quality of hire, leading to better long-term outcomes. Furthermore, the human-centric design drove a 25% higher user engagement rate compared to industry benchmarks, ensuring strong platform adoption and delivering sustained value to Vima's clients.

Challenges

Vima faced a series of interconnected challenges, beginning with the critical need to transform its innovative demo into a scalable, secure, and enterprise-grade B2B platform. This was compounded by the high cost of inefficient manual hiring processes. Finally, the core technological challenge was to build a smart integration engine for their AI video platform. This engine needed to ethically integrate novel AI for video sentiment, facial analysis, and a complex content checker in a human-centric way that would empower recruiters, not replace their judgment, avoiding the pitfalls of an untrustworthy "black box" system.

Solutions

To address these challenges, Codetribe engineered a secure and scalable multi-tenant SaaS architecture, building the core "smart integration engine" on a modern cloud infrastructure and implementing granular role-based access control to ensure data integrity and compliance. We automated key assessment workflows, particularly candidate assessments and initial screenings, accelerating the hiring cycle and freeing HR professionals for higher-value strategic tasks. For the novel AI, we designed an "AI Co-Pilot" system that ethically integrates video sentiment, facial analysis, and the content checker, presenting insights as decision support to ensure a trustworthy, human-centric tool that felt supportive rather than intrusive.
