HireZap - Hire skill-verified candidates via empathetic assessments

Hey there Product Hunters! 👋 In the current world, people across generations are self-learning and upskilling themselves. We learned from our experience that using pedigrees and keywords to assess job applicants is not very useful anymore. However, finding fascinating talent is like finding a needle in a haystack, continuously! Our mission with HireZap is to provide a magnet that locates the most desirable candidates quickly and accurately from hundreds of applicants. It is crucial that companies need to foster an empathetic hiring culture by promoting empathy for recruiters, managers, and job applicants. We do this with an AI/ML-powered engine that enables recruiters to quickly assess every candidate for their actual skills & competencies, based on the specific intent of the hiring manager. The platform helps to determine both - the capability to perform (Skills) and the motivation to perform (Culture). From curating custom assessments to pricing them, every layer is guided by our value of empathizing with all three stakeholders. Join us on this mission to make hiring (thus, work) empathetic for the world! ⚠️The problem The hiring scene has evolved. But, how far have we come to make the process intelligent, empathetic, and efficient? The competition is fierce and irrespective of the market being in favour of the Job provider or the job seeker, the one tasked with recruitment still carries the burden left over from traditional methods. HireZap aims to eliminate these issues: Manual effort in screening candidates through resumes or CVs Applicant no shows due to lack of interest or other reasons Mishires because of being over-reliant on resumes that are often exaggerated Fewer number of applicants due to lengthy and redundant steps in the hiring process Candidate drop-offs due to poor employer branding and candidate engagement Unconscious prioritization of pedigree over actual skills, resulting in an unbalanced talent pool No statistically significant test being employed to test for the cultural compatibility of the candidate 💡 The solution With HireZap’s assessment library, you and your hiring team can: 📝Use expert-validated pre-built assessments to evaluate functional and technical skills required for a specific job. 🔧 Get an assessment customized to your hiring intent by sending us the job description 🔎 Filter out the no-shows and candidates who are not serious about the position 🧠 Administer behavioral assessments before hiring to test for personality and cultural sync 📋 Bulk invite candidates and get real-time updates on the assessment status 🔒 Enable the forced full-screen anti-cheating feature during assessments 📈 Source track applicants and use the data to gauge the performance of each source 📊 Provide the candidate the option to view a graphical performance report 🗒️ Report The assessment reports are highly analytical and personalized. They come with suggested questions that can be asked during subsequent rounds to better understand the candidate’s potential. 🎤 Testimonials Here’s what some of the users of HireZap had to say: "When we started hiring, the no-show has been higher than 30%. We subscribed to Zapilio and with their free tier itself I was able to hire 11 candidates for the Machine Learning position alone. And best of all, I have had zero no-shows until now. Our hiring process has become incredibly efficient." - Vignesh Baskaran, Co-founder and CTO of Hexo.ai “I have seen many skill assessment platforms, but nothing like this. This is very thoughtful” - Himanshu Rastogi, CTO of Buk Technology 💬 Upcoming features - An AI engine to extract skill maps from the submitted job description to match roles with skills better. - Introducing intent-based assessment that can be used according to skill complexity and experience levels 🙏🏼 Support us to make hiring empathetic, unbiased, and skill-first.

I like the approach of making the hiring process more empathetic and skill-based! Congrats!

Each assessment is custom-made and done so quickly with AI/ML. This helps talent recruiters across tech and non-tech functions capture the specific intent of the hiring manager which includes domain, the job to be done, and the team mix. The platform is priced to enable organizations to provide a fair chance to "every" candidate who applies for a role, giving them a chance to showcase their best selves instead of losing themselves in a pile of resumes. Our skill assessments predict short-term success, while our culture assessments predict long-term effectiveness. So, give it a try and let your next hire be on us.
