Why we built this: After helping 500+ companies hire early career talent, we realized that hiring a software engineer for Netflix is completely different from hiring one for a local startup - but every AI screening tool or ATS filter treats them the same. Same with Oracle sales reps vs. Coca-Cola sales reps. Generic filters miss what makes someone successful at YOUR specific company. What's new & unique: Instead of one-size-fits-all algorithms, Runway lets you define company-specific scoring criteria. You're not just screening for "Java skills" - you're screening for "Java skills + startup agility + ability to wear multiple hats" or "Java skills + enterprise experience + process adherence." What we're most proud of: The flexibility. Upload your job description + up to 50 resumes, then customize the ranking parameters that actually predict success at your organization. Whether you're: - Netflix looking for engineers who thrive in high-performance culture - A startup needing scrappy problem-solvers who can build from scratch - Oracle needing sales reps who can navigate complex enterprise deals - Coca-Cola wanting consumer brand experts who understand retail The result: Applicant rankings that reflect what success looks like at YOUR company, not generic job categories. Try it free and see how company-specific screening changes your hire quality! What makes a great hire at your company different from your competitors? Drop your unique hiring criteria in the comments - we love hearing what makes each company special!

Love that you can set your own ranking rules—no more cookie-cutter filters! That’s a gamechanger for hiring, tbh. Nice work on this one team!

 appreciate you Joey

That was exactly the goal. We kept hearing from teams that no two roles (or companies) are the same, so why should the filters be? Excited to see how you might use this at BestPage. Curious what kind of traits you look for when hiring!

 Thanks, Joey! We're really excited for people to see the power of the custom rules.

Maker

 Thanks Joey! We couldn't agree more. With so many resumes engineered solely for ATS, it's been difficult to assess genuine suitability for a role beyond just keywords. That's why empowering users to set their own ranking rules is so crucial for finding the right talent.

Looks very polished with straight forward experience, congrats for the launch and the team! 🚀

Maker

Thanks,  Appreciate you taking a look!

   Thanks for the support!

Wow this works so well, what made you realize this was something people needed?

Maker

 Thanks for the kind words! We built this after hearing from so many recruiters who had tried every major platform, but were inundated with poor matches. Our goal is to help hiring team surface their top applicants in a much more transparent way.

Maker

 That's fantastic to hear! We realized this was needed because traditional ATS often prioritized keywords over true fit, which led to a lot of irrelevant applications and talented people getting missed.

We saw a clear need for a more intuitive system that allowed hiring managers to define their own specific criteria for a role, cutting through the keyword clutter to find genuine fit. That insight drove us to create this tool!

Maker

 we worked with over 500 employers helping to connect them with entry level talent. Saw that there was a challenge in vetting them based on resume alone and companies were wasting time interviewing non fits

Nicely looking tool, congrats for launch!

Maker

 Thanks for checking it out! Excited to share with everyone.

Maker

 thank you sir!

Maker

 Cheers!

I've worked with Ford many times before and have always been a fan of what's he's built, especially with Runway. Congrats on the PH launch :)

Maker

 Thanks for the kind words, AJ!

Maker

 you da man!

Maker

   We appreciate your long-time support and thrilled to have you celebrate our PH launch with us!

This is Runway nails something that’s been long overdue. Context-aware hiring. Most tools forget that the definition of a great hire varies wildly between companies and even roles.

Loved how you're building flexibility into the scoring logics.

Also, do you plan to support async hiring collaboration (e.g., scoring calibration across interviewers)?

Really impressive launch. Excited to follow where you take this.

Maker

 Thanks for taking a look, Suvam! Absolutely plan, and do support much more. This is just one of our tools. We have a lot more to offer for the full hiring flow at .

 Great. I will surely look into it!

Maker

 Thanks for the awesome feedback! You totally get our vision for context-aware hiring. And yes, async collaboration is definitely on our roadmap!

 Great Cam! Ready for this...

Maker

 thanks for the support!

 Welcome Ford!

Love the fact that the value is right there on the landing page. No sign in, no clicking multiple buttons to get to it.

Maker

 Thanks for noticing! Definitely by design 🙂

Maker

  Glad you caught that! We found that pushing sign-up until later really helps users convert. It's all about communicating the value upfront.

Maker

 heck yeah! We def want to let our users see the value in the first 10 seconds

This looks awesome!! What is the ideal customer for you all?

Maker

 Thanks, Wells! We primarily work with early career recruiters (companies hiring interns and new grads.) For this launch though, we've adapted our tech to be used by hiring teams of all sizes. Excited to share with everyone!

Maker

   thanks for the support! Our niche is in the entry level space so university recruiters who get 1000s of resumes

Maker

 We appreciate the support! While we initially focused on early-career talent, this launch has truly opened our eyes to how universally valuable Runway's precision ranking is for anyone in the hiring process.

Interesting concept! Is this something you built based on a firsthand painful experience, or did you see others struggling to find the right candidates?

Maker

 A bit of both, actually! We’ve seen firsthand how posting a job can flood you with hundreds of applicants, and yet you still struggle to find the right person. At the same time, many candidates feel buried in the noise even when they know they’d be a great fit. We hope this will help hiring teams find those perfect applicants.

Maker

 Thanks so much! The ideal customer question really gets to the heart of why we built Runway. On one side, we saw hiring teams buried under applications, struggling to sift through resumes. On the other, incredibly talented early-career individuals often felt their unique potential was getting lost in the noise.

Runway aims to bridge that gap, helping both sides find their ideal match with clarity and precision.

Maker

 we did a ton of manual matches with employers and candidates! Helped thousands of candidates find their dream jobs and hundreds of employers find talent that will retain
