Hey PH! I'm Rahul — building proof-based hiring for developers, from India

Hey everyone,

I'm Rahul, founder of @Talenser (talenser.com), based in India.

Before this, I kept running into the same problem: hiring developers is painful. Companies drown in résumés, spend hours filtering keywords and running interview rounds, and still make wrong hires — while genuinely skilled developers get overlooked because a résumé doesn't show what they can actually do.

So I started building @Talenser to flip that. Instead of trusting résumés, every developer is skill-tested, GitHub- and identity-verified, and put through an AI interview before a company ever sees them. The idea: hire on proof, not claims.

We just launched on Product Hunt, and I'm building it in public — so I'd genuinely love to learn from this community.

A couple of things I'm curious about:

- If you've hired (or been hired) — what's the most broken part of the process for you?

- What would make you trust a candidate before the first interview?

Also happy to help anyone here with hiring, launching, or building in public — feel free to reach out.

Thanks for having me!
