Bolto is an all in one recruiting and HR platform. It uses AI to source, interview, and match software engineers to startups, then enables startups to pay and manage those engineers in the same place.

Hi Product Hunt Community!
I’m Mrinal, one of the founders of Bolto (YC S23).
Bolto is an AI-powered recruiting and HR platform. We assess candidates using AI and match them to companies.
For candidates:
Candidates take our AI interview and technical assessments. We combine this info along with their resume, Github profile, and any other info they provide to create a Bolto candidate profile.
For companies:
Companies who upload or type in their job description on our platform are shown candidates that our AI algorithm believes have a high probability of success in their role based on all of their profile information. Once a company makes a hire, they can run payroll and HR on our platform as well.
Our story:
We struggled mightily with hiring at our last startup. We hated having to source, interview, hire, manage, and pay candidates all on separate platforms and wished it could all be done in one place.
We also, like many of you, have been reading articles about how AI is going to completely replace human workers. We don’t believe in this future and are deeply passionate about using AI to create jobs, not take them away. We want to help companies find the absolute best fits for their roles, empowering them to succeed and continue hiring more great humans.
Who is Bolto for?
We’re starting with software engineers on our platform, so our ideal user is anyone who is hiring engineers! That being said, we find the companies who benefit the most from our services are those who are growing and making multiple hires, but might not have the patience or budget to hire a recruiting agency or staff multiple recruiters.
How are we different?
We are the very first all in one recruiting and HR platform in the world! There is no other company that from start to finish, can handle sourcing, interviewing, hiring, paying, and managing employees.
Why are we launching on product hunt?
We got on Product Hunt ourselves a couple months ago when the CEO, Rajiv, commented on our tweet about our YC launch and said we had to try PH! We’ve found an incredible community here filled with smart, thoughtful people who take time out of their day to give invaluable product feedback.
We’ve also found some awesome products that we now use!
We want to thank the Product Hunt community in advance for their support and feedback – we can’t wait to hear what you all think of Bolto!

Will AI engineers be needed in the AI era? 🙂

Streamlining the entire recruitment flow—from sourcing to payroll—within one AI-powered platform is a big win for lean startups. Excited to see how this changes hiring for early-stage teams!
Bolto
@supa_l Thank you so much! We truly believe early-stage teams deserve a simpler, faster way to build great teams without juggling multiple tools. Our goal is to remove the friction from hiring so founders can focus on growing. Excited to have you following our journey!

Though I finished hiring last week, I feel really excited to build my dream team with Bolto in the future.
Feel like someone perfect to our team is going to join our team!
Congratulations. Good luck :)
Bolto
@pritraveler Love that energy! We’re here for whenever you’re ready to build the next chapter of your dream team. Cheers to what’s ahead!
How many HR managers can Bolto replace?
Bolto
@kay_arkain Great question! We’re not trying to replace HR managers. We’re giving them superpowers. For lean startups without a full HR team, Bolto can handle sourcing, interviewing, and even payroll, so you don’t need to hire multiple roles early on. For larger teams, we make existing HR teams 10x more efficient.
How does your matching engine work? By keywords?
Congrats on the launch!
Bolto
@michael_vavilov Thank you! Our AI looks at structured and unstructured data (like resume, code samples, interview scores, etc.) and matches them against job traits that drive success. It’s designed to find people you'd otherwise miss with just keyword filters.
@mrinalsingh2 So it's a kind of semantic search?
Bolto
@michael_vavilov Exactly. Semantic search is a big part of it! But we go a step further by incorporating structured performance signals from interviews, so it's not just about language similarity, but actual fit and potential.
Looks great! Good luck guys
Bolto
@samirrashed Thank you! Really appreciate the support. We're just getting started and excited to build something that truly helps teams grow faster (and smarter). If you have any feedback or ideas, we’re all ears!
@mrinalsingh2 Sound great! it seems promising platform. I will share it with my HR friends to try it
