24 alternatives to Hiring Method

Hi hackers! My partner and I got tired of nontransparent hiring processes and "AI-native" HR software that just wrap an LLM around CVs (or even simply claims doing so) so we built Hiring Method to do the opposite. It converts CVs and job requirements into structured data, then uses a transparent math engine to score the match. Instead of trusting a black box you get a clear, audit-ready scorecard that shows exactly why a candidate is a good fit. We are currently building a sourcing feature to help find those candidates in the first place. We have been working on this for 1.5 years, and after…

    This is a personal experiment that uses LLMs to rank unstructured job posting data based on user-defined criteria. Traditional job search platforms rely on rigid filtering systems, but many users lack such concrete criteria. One of the superpowers of LLMs is understanding unstructured data, like the job postings in the monthly "Ask HN: who's hiring" threads. So I built a little tool that lets you define your preferences in a more natural way and then rates each job postings based on the relevance. You can define what you're looking for in simple terms and get a custom list ranked by…

    Hey HN,After applying to 300+ jobs over the last year and getting ghosted by ATS bots despite having solid experience (and seeing friends waste hours keyword-stuffing or using shady white-text prompts that recruiters now auto-reject), I got fed up.
