OpenInterview marketing site shown on a laptop — upload a résumé to generate a shareable video profile

From business problem to measurable outcome.

  1. Problem01

    What held the business back

    Candidates disappear into application piles. The founders wanted to replace the back-and-forth of résumé attachments, scheduling emails, and screening calls with a single link a candidate could send a recruiter directly.

  2. Solution02

    What Barakode changed

    Barakode engineered the complete platform — résumé processing, video upload infrastructure, the shareable profile system, and the recruiter-facing view. AI-powered résumé parsing generates the profile automatically so the candidate confirms rather than types.

What was not working.

Candidates disappear into application piles. The founders wanted to replace the back-and-forth of résumé attachments, scheduling emails, and screening calls with a single link a candidate could send a recruiter directly.

That meant the product had to do real work in the background — parse an arbitrary résumé, generate profile data from it, accept and serve video, and do all of it fast enough that a first-time user finishes in one sitting with zero technical setup.

Goals

  • Turn an uploaded résumé into a populated candidate profile automatically, in seconds.
  • Accept, store, and stream candidate video reliably across devices.
  • Give every candidate a clean, shareable public profile URL.
  • Support a freemium model with paid upgrades handled end to end.

What Barakode delivered

Barakode engineered the complete platform — résumé processing, video upload infrastructure, the shareable profile system, and the recruiter-facing view. AI-powered résumé parsing generates the profile automatically so the candidate confirms rather than types.

The onboarding flow was designed around a single number: under three minutes from landing to shareable link. Drag-and-drop résumé upload, step-by-step profile building, and a profile page that reads well on a recruiter's phone.

On the backend, résumés upload to secure cloud storage, video files are processed for smooth playback, and JWT authentication manages sessions across the free and paid tiers. Stripe handles subscription billing. Every candidate gets a unique public URL.

The AI transparency page and legal documentation were delivered as part of the build, not bolted on afterwards.

What actually changed.

Only outcomes recorded in the project record appear here. Where a number is not verified, it is not published.

  • Platform launched and live at openinterview.me, serving job seekers internationally.
  • Candidate profile creation reduced to a single self-serve flow requiring no technical setup.
  • Freemium model in production with paid upgrades handled end to end through Stripe.
  • Ongoing feature development and AI improvements continue post-launch.

What made the project work

  • 01

    Fixing the onboarding target — under three minutes — early made every later scope decision easy to settle.

  • 02

    Parsing the résumé rather than asking the user to retype it was the single change that made the product feel finished.

  • 03

    Testing the upload and processing pipeline with real résumés, not clean samples, surfaced the failure cases that mattered.
