Hiring Method helps recruiters take decisions backed by numbers and transparent analysis, we do not take human out of the loop.

fewer than 2–3% of the 300–500 applicants for a software engineer role progress to the next stage after CV screening (to put it very broadly). at this stage alone, Hiring Method saves between a few hours and several days per role, whilst maintaining impartiality and processing 100% of applicants

Hiring Method is an auxiliary tool that does not take any hiring decision. The vector it builds has few dozen parameters, with hard skills (eg plain old technology list) constituting a mere fraction. In this way you do not have to have all fancy buzzwords – the software also checks for neighboring stacks and transferrability level, among other fitness criteria.

We are GDPR compliant. We are striving for EU AI Act compliance as well (once the final version is accepted).

Recruiters aren’t afraid to give feedback, and there are often no legal grounds for withholding it in Europe (I’m not counting FAANG companies or certain sectors like fintech). Usually, they simply don’t have the time (and enough motivation) to provide individual feedback to every applicant. This leads to ghosting and transitively to the brand reputational damage. Hiring Method allows you to send feedback to almost everyone!

In our software, the candidate being assessed does not know all the assessment criteria. Furthermore, this assessment is merely a starting point for discussion during the technical round. I need to update the description of this feature.

Thanks for the valid points!

I'm working on Hiring Method (https://hiring-method.com).

After 1.5 years of development and two exhausting pivots, I’m incredibly happy to finally have our v1 live!

While most of the HR tech is rushing to use black-box AI, I built the exact opposite. It's a transparent, math-driven fitness engine. It extracts objective data from CVs and calculates how well applicants match requirements, letting you see the reasoning behind why someone scored an X%.

If anyone here builds in the HR space or regularly hires engineers, I would absolutely love your feedback or a roast of the landing page.

PS This is a project of immense importance for me, I've been working on for past ~2 years, I'd appreciate to know why this comment is flagged.
