In my experience of placing software engineers in tech startups, the only way to find the best talent is to talk to them. If we give them coding test, they get done with it somehow but when we talk to them in the interview, that's when we get the real sense of their skillset. I know it's time consuming, but it saves you a lot of time and money in the long run.
Once set up, they can apply to any job shared with them by a recruiter in one click—no need to re-enter the same details again. And if they update their profile (say, new experience or skills), those changes instantly reflect across the candidate pool of every recruiter they’re connected with.
No redundant form-filling, no duplicating what’s already in a CV or LinkedIn—just one clean profile that stays up to date and works across roles.
I hope I answered your question. I am happy to answer any other question you might have. Thank you.
Hi HN Community,Recruitment software is everywhere. The market seems saturated. Every other day there’s a new ATS or “all-in-one” platform promising to fix hiring. But let’s be real — recruiting still sucks.Why? Because most tools are just reskinned versions of the same broken process: resume parsing, email campaigns, messy workflows, and outdated data. Some throw in a ChatGPT prompt here and...
I built B2BConnect.ai, a marketplace of AI agents that automate the grunt work in growth marketing—the repetitive, manual stuff that slows things down.The first agent I launched is a LinkedIn enrichment agent. You give it a list of LinkedIn URLs, and it visits each profile, extracts the relevant information, and organizes it into a clean table—ready to download as a CSV or view online.No more...
In my experience, Different agency recruiters use manual systems when it comes to administrative work. Despite AI bringing automations, there are only handful of tools created for agency recruiters. My questions here is, why these recruiters don't opt AI based automation tools to reduce time to hire?
In my current startup, we rely heavily on email marketing. We've found that sending 10K emails monthly has been a game-changer for us. However, finding this many emails each month at a reasonable cost became our biggest challenge. We’ve been using Apollo.io, which lets us find 10K emails for $99, but the accuracy rate is around 40%.So, I started training a LLAMA3 model to find anyone’s business...
Hi HN Community,I created a tool for recruitment and staffing agencies that automates the manual work done by them. They use their own internal database for candidate data and submit the resumes to the hiring managers over email. So I automated this process and made interview scheduling very easy. I have zero experience in sales and tried different approaches to reach out to different agencies...
Hi, I want to ask the community that how did you crack a market for your product without having network? Going to the events and meeting face to face to create your network is a slow, time consuming and energy draining process. What hacks did you use to grab attention of your target market to sell your product?
The product I created is a tool for recruiters to speed up their recruitment process by automating all the manual work done by them. The ones I spoke with before making the MVP loved the product and recommended more features that would help them. But selling it to them is hard as they are not the decision makers. May be I suck at sales or the way I am approaching them is not right.
Hi,Seeking your expert opinion on a situation where you built a product after performing market research on 6 potential customers and once you complete the MVP and go back to them for feedback, they love the product but it's very hard to convert them into customers only because they don't have the authority to use the software on their own? Let me tell you it's a B2B SaaS tool for enterprises....

Hi HN Fam,I am excited to share ChronoFlow.ai with you all. It is a tool for recruiters to automate interview scheduling and coordination between Hiring Manager and Recruiter. It speeds up the recruitment process 2x. Mostly recruiters are working manually using excel sheets, gmail for sending resumes and their data is spread in different places, thus making it hard to keep track of all the...
