Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I’m Nela, co-founder of HireKey
I spent 10 years recruiting for technical and non-technical roles at Microsoft, Amazon, and Stripe, to name a few. I reviewed thousands of resumes and interviewed thousands of candidates.
Time and time again, I saw qualified people get passed over simply because their resumes didn’t connect their experience to the role, or because they struggled to explain that experience in an interview. They had the right skills, but hiring managers weren’t seeing the connection.
That stayed with me because many of those people were incredibly talented, genuine people whom I had to give the unfortunate news of rejection, which is honestly the worst part of recruiting.
So, we built HireKey around the recruiting knowledge I’d gathered over those 10 years, giving job seekers access to the perspective from the other side of the hiring table.
HireKey helps you assess how your experience fits a role, tailor your resume, practice interviews with an interactive AI voice coach, and track your applications in one place.
How it works
1. Add the job and your master resume. Find a role you want to apply for and add its title, company, location, and job description to HireKey’s Job Tracker. Upload your master resume once, then use it across the jobs you’re considering.
2. Tailor your resume and assess your fit. HireKey adapts your master resume to the job description, bringing your relevant experience into focus, along with an analysis of missing skills or experience and whether transferable experience could help bridge those gaps.
3. Practice out loud, on demand. Practice using the STAR framework with an interactive AI voice coach. Get specific feedback on where your answers are strongest and where you still need practice.
4. Keep your search organized. Track applications through stages such as applied, screening, and interviewing, so you always know where things stand.

A closer look at interview practice
Knowing your work and explaining it clearly are two different skills. This was something I saw repeatedly as a recruiter, and it’s why interview practice is such an important part of HireKey.
You can choose practice questions or add your own, then start speaking with the coach, all on demand. It responds to what you actually say and helps you identify where an answer needs more clarity or detail. You also get a debrief on what went well and what to improve.
Prefer to prepare on your own first? You can print interview questions with tips on how to approach your answers.
Who it’s for
HireKey is built for people pursuing technical and non-technical roles in tech, especially when you:
- Find an interesting role but aren’t sure how well your experience fits.
- Need help making your relevant experience clear on your resume.
- Know your work but struggle to explain it in an interview.
- Have multiple applications in progress and need to keep track of them.

We’d love to hear from you: What’s hardest about job searching? Is it deciding where to apply, showing your experience on paper, or talking about it in an interview?
I'm a junior backend dev in Brazil applying for remote roles, both local and international. Two questions: does the recruiter input carry over to hiring outside big US tech, and does the voice coach give feedback to non-native English speakers, or only on the content of the answer?
@founder92 Thanks for the straight answer, the "not universal" part is useful to know. So far all my applications have been in Portuguese, for Brazilian companies. The international roles I want to try next interview in English, and that's where a voice coach would help. Feedback on how clearly I explain what I built is the part I need most: my projects are solo, and it's easy to either undersell them or explain every detail. If you add pronunciation feedback later, non-native speakers would be a big group to test it with.
Does the voice coach evaluate answer structure as well as technical accuracy?
@khaildnaseem Yes on structure. The coach helps you work through an answer using STAR and points out where you could add clarity or detail. I wouldn’t treat it as a definitive check of technical accuracy, though.
However, if we get enough interest or feature requests for technical interviews with accuracy evaluation criteria, we are open to exploring and building.
the honest answer about not checking technical accuracy is the part I'd watch out for as a user. STAR structure feedback could make someone sound more confident delivering an answer that's actually wrong, and a polished delivery of a wrong answer is worse in a real interview than a rough delivery of a right one. is there any plan to at least flag when an answer sounds complete but is thin on verifiable specifics, even without full technical grading?
@founder92 that's a fair distinction and I think it's the right one to draw, evidence versus correctness are genuinely different checks. curious what "test how clearly it flags it" looks like in practice though, is that a wording tweak in the debrief text, or something more visible like a separate confidence note next to answers that were thin on specifics. the first is easy to ship, the second is a real UI decision.
Great product and congrats on the launch! In an increasingly crowded space, I think this is the first product I've seen that stays with the applicant through the whole process, from application to interview practice. How does the voice coach adapt to different personalities, industries, fields?
How about adding MCP to this, mostly I use AI to apply for the jobs, and its really pain for me adding each job on this platform after applying, so if it could have MCP, AI can do that for me, and I can use it more efficiently.
The number of tabs I keep open while job hunting is ridiculous.
@sheikh_umair1 the job search tab collection gets out of hand fast 😅 I’ve personally experienced “I’ll come back to this one” turn into 15 open roles. That’s exactly the kind of chaos we wanted the Job Tracker to help with.
