InHouse Works is an Innovate UK-funded recruitment and training platform built for Inclusive Growth Group. Employers get their own branded Training Domain where candidates watch real staff videos, ask an AI assistant questions grounded in the employer’s own content, and complete a guided pre-screening journey before applying. The platform connects attraction, hiring, and training into one continuous journey, starting with an NHS hospital trust as the first employer.

Challenges

The client came to us with a strong product vision and an HTML prototype, but needed it turned into a secure, production-grade platform from scratch. Every employer had to run as a separate tenant with fully isolated candidate data, and all data, including AI processing, had to stay within UK infrastructure to meet NHS and UK GDPR requirements.

The AI assistant also had to answer candidate questions accurately from hours of recorded staff interviews, point candidates to the exact moment in a video, and assess candidates in a way that supports entry-level and neurodiverse jobseekers rather than filtering them out.

Responsibilities

We started by designing a multi-tenant architecture where every record carries a tenant ID from day one, so new employers can be onboarded in days without code changes. All infrastructure runs on a UK-based Civo server, with credentials managed securely and automated testing on every release.

For the AI layer, we built a Python RAG pipeline that transcribes employer interviews with Whisper, stores timestamped chunks in pgvector, and powers an “Ask Employer” assistant that answers from real employer content and links candidates straight to the relevant video moment.

We then built the candidate pre-screening journey, including comprehension questions, a candidate profile with strengths and areas to grow, and an employer portal for approving content and reviewing candidates. Our team covered backend, frontend, AI, UI/UX, QA, and deployment, and delivered the first milestone, the pre-screening process for the first NHS employer, on plan.
