AI-driven recruitment software for CorTexter
How we assisted CorTexter in scaling their AI solution for recruiters
CorTexter is a dynamic and ambitious company that develops software designed to help recruiters create more effective job advertisements. Their tool not only accelerates the writing process but also makes job ads more inclusive by providing smart suggestions, text analysis, and optimization, all with the aim of ensuring equal opportunities for every applicant.
The challenge: a great product in an unsuitable context
When CorTexter launched in 2021, their core product fulfilled its promises, but they quickly discovered that recruiters were reluctant to switch platforms. They preferred to operate directly within their existing Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). In response, CorTexter strategically decided to evolve their standalone tool into an integrated solution that seamlessly fits within the ATS systems that recruiters are already using. To achieve this, they required technical support, which is where we came into play.
Our approach: rebuilding for scalability
We began with a brief, targeted audit of their current software and found that the architecture and codebase were not prepared for scaling. Instead of making superficial fixes, we opted to rebuild the entire system from scratch, focusing on flexibility and long-term growth. Throughout this process, we addressed several challenges, such as:
- Incorporating custom features (like word suggestions) into a third-party text editor
- Integrating external AI APIs smoothly and reliably
- Connecting with multiple ATS platforms, each with unique quirks and requirements
To expedite the process, we made use of established tools where appropriate, including Trumbowyg for the editor, Clerk for user management, Stripe for payments, and custom AI models for text rewriting.
The outcome: more than just code
The result? A robust, production-ready platform that is already operational and continuously expanding. More significantly, we have fostered a strong partnership grounded in trust, transparency, and a shared, pragmatic approach.
