Hey Product Hunt, this comment is a collaboration of Hireproof team members Nick (Product), Neea (Customer Success), Max (CEO), and Niklas (CTO) writing in a shared google doc, and we'll try to keep this brief. OUR STORY We met here, on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/cofound... We were facilitating a few dozen interviews per month, and we were exhausted. Collecting feedback, maintaining the quality of interviews we were not present for, and making decisions with minimal data points. We knew we could do better, and less than a week after that Reddit post, we started building. We received backing from a VC firm with only a team and a dream just two months later. After being waitlist-only for seven months as we built out our initial offering, we're ready to fix hiring processes for the masses, and we're celebrating by launching on Product Hunt. THINGS WE LIKE 💥 Reducing bias, both personal and institutional 🔥 Improving the candidate experience 💯 Predicting job performance with better interviews THINGS WE DON'T LIKE ❌ AI or ML making hiring decisions 🚨 One-way video interviews ⛔ Pre-screening assessments THE PROBLEM Everyone knows hiring is broken. For the past decade, the workload has been shifting from the HR department to the candidates. Candidates aren't happy, processes have institutional bias, and job offers are being sent based on the wrong metrics. Now, especially with the "labor shortage," it's time to break that pattern and make hiring human again. BEFORE THE INTERVIEW Hiring managers can select from our pre-built library of interviews and questions or build their own interview process down to every skill and evaluation criteria for every question. DURING THE INTERVIEW Our interview assistant turns an inexperienced interviewer into a pro by hand-holding them through the entire process. For an experienced interviewer, Hireproof will make you less prone to bias and guide you to make better hiring decisions. AFTER THE INTERVIEW Hiring managers' dreams come true when they can take a deep dive into the interview results and compare and contrast candidates based on skills and behavioral competencies. Feedback is easily digestible and can be shared with the candidate or colleagues. WHAT'S NEXT? Oh, tons of stuff. The next year will be dominated by creating integrations with popular ATSs to accommodate our enterprise customers. We are growing our team to support our product and the increasing number of users. Thanks for checking us out! Feel free to pop us a comment or sign up for Hireproof (it's freeeeeeeeeeee). Sincerely, The Hireproof team - Neea, Niklas, Max, & Nick

Interesting problem to solve. Go team!
Max Korpinen
@hai_ta1 Thanks for the support, Hai Ta! It's indeed been fascinating getting to the root of this particular problem! Lot's to solve for sure :)
Neea Ahlström
@hai_ta1 We feel that there are so many complex ways of trying to find the right candidate and also that a lot of that work is shifted on the candidate (long or even multiple assessments, one-sided video "interviews" etc.) and we hope to make the interview process better for all parties. It's not going to be an easy journey to make this change, but we're really excited to be a part of it!

Linus
Intriguing. Where do I signup as candidate? Can't find anything on that on y'all's website...
Neea Ahlström
@linusgeffarth Hi, thanks for the question! Hireproof is a tool for the interviewer to design, run and review interviews. The candidates attend the interviews as per usual, but they don't use the app. Let me know if you have any further questions, I'd be happy to help! Also if you have any ideas on how to improve our messaging, I'd happily hear more!
