When we launched Recroot.app, I genuinely thought we had it figured out.

Build something useful, run some ads, watch it grow. I thought thats how other products grew. I assumed it would work for us.

It didn't.

One challenge we faced while building Recroot:

We store candidate/user videos, interview recordings, resumes, and personal information.

Like most startups, we don't have an unlimited security budget.

But that doesn't change our responsibility to protect user data.

Recently, we ran a simple experiment.

We took the exact same workplace conversation and asked both ChatGPT and Recroot to review it.

The conversation wasn't an interview.

It was a manager asking an employee why a project was delayed.
