Hey folks. Rolepad is a product born out of my dissatisfaction with hiring processes - both as a candidate and as a hiring manager. Processes that are non-transparent, inefficient, and full of frustration for both sides. This early iteration has focused on the application tracking aspects with a few extra goodies. These days it is common to apply to dozens of positions (some users track over a hundred opportunities). Without a record-keeping system, it can quickly become an unmanageable mess. Even the better-organized among us often end up juggling spreadsheets, emails, and various notes.…

We are a recruiting startup with a small twist. We represent engineering candidates who receive a recommendation through our personalized vetting process, which includes a technical interview with an unbiased third-party senior engineer. We match the candidates with interviewers based on their background and the roles they are looking for. We pay for the senior engineer's time to interview so that the feedback is completely unbiased. These interviews are unique in that they are not set up to test if a candidate is a fit for a pre-set role, but instead they are personalized to extract each…

(not sure why my previous post didn't appear on Show HN even though I included it in the title, mods please remove if not allowed) Ever applied for a job and never heard back? Many companies just go silent instead of sending rejection emails, leaving you guessing whether to keep waiting or move on. I faced this frustration during my own internship search, especially when there was no real point of contact (automated replies don't count, lol). So, I built didtheyghost.me, a simple open-source tool that crowdsources job application responses. This isn't a job scraper or another job board. It's…

Tech recruiting and interviewing sucks. So I created https://www.rateyourrecruiter.dev/ to hold recruiters to account. The elevator pitch reads: Interviewing for a role in a highly sought after tech company is broken. Recruiters have incentive to get as many people in for interviews, with little to none (or incorrect) information. Questions often have little to do with on-the-job responsibilities, and are rarely communicated to recruiting and back to the candidate. By having a more transparent process is not only more equitable, but will lead to greater success for candidates…

Hey HN, Check out our technical paper here: https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.15627 and the video demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Op8hyLW7Z84 I’ve been obsessed with the art of the interview since I was in college. In my career I interviewed over 100 people and was interviewed from tech companies from startups to big tech and hedge funds. I built Neuraprep because I noticed something missing — while software engineers have leetcode.com and finance folks have quantquestions.com, other engineering domains (like ML, data science, MLOps) don’t have a go-to…

Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

The interview is spinning up our local development environment. Feels like the perfect bidirectional way to really check if someone is a technical fit.

Coding interviews are broken. They're a gatekeeping ritual that has NOTHING to do with actual software engineering. We're forced to memorize obscure data structures and algorithms we'll never use, while being watched like lab rats through screen-sharing. I got fed up and built Stealth Interview - an undetectable AI assistant that works during technical interviews. It runs silently in the background while you're screen-sharing on Zoom or any other platform. The interviewer sees nothing, but you get the help you need. THIS is the only way you game the system, because the game is rigged. This…

Hi, for the past couple weeks I was working on a resume trainer to prepare candidates for their job interview. I tweaked prompt a lot to make questions interesting and engaging & I think I have something cool. Please use and let me know how you like it. For positions that you interview for you can be specific like: Java springboot engineer or React Senior Developer Cheers, Dan

Hello HN! I want to share DevScreen (https://devscreen.io/). We’ve been iterating on DevScreen for a few years now with the goal of delivering an awesome interview process for both candidates and the company. We achieve this by using realistic job-based tests and allowing the candidate to use their own editor - not a whiteboard or unfamiliar online code editor. Many of the existing products in this space just bring the same old whiteboard coding puzzles to the web, without solving the core problem: those tests are not a good indicator of performance. This is a waste of time…
