Automate candidate screening. Create a quiz and set evaluation prompts for each question. Equip AI will evaluate candidates' text, audio or video responses and rank them. Effective for recruiters. Convenient for candidates.
No way—instant, natural language interview responses? That’s such a time-saver for prepping on the fly. Does it handle technical or behavioral questions better, or both equally well?
We see that it handles both technical and behavioural questions equally well. How well the AI grades the question mainly depends on the evaluation criteria you set (rules based on which the AI grades the response). As long your evaluation criteria has the relevant details, it should do a good job for both tech and behavioural questions.
@anthony_latona we started out as an assessment platform with features that prevented cheating on tests. We have a robust grip on what works there over the past three years. Paired with AI Interviews, any hiring manager/recruiter will find our offering 100x powerful. Any question that comes for customisation of tests from our users is solved with this launch.
Thanks for taking the time to check it out and supporting us.

Big congrats on the launch! 👏Tried Equip and found it to be an efficient tool for evaluating candidates before formal interviews — saved us a lot of time.
The problem isn't just candidates using deepfakes anymore. Now fake employers are using them to scam job seekers too - creating convincing "HR reps" for fraudulent interviews.
As a former overachiever with pre-exam jitters, I'm nervous but excited for our first Product Hunt launch! Okay, here it goes...
Why We Built AI Interviews
We kept hearing the same frustration from recruiters: screening hundreds of candidates is incredibly time-consuming, yet impossible to skip. Traditional methods either lack depth or are too resource-intensive. Recruiters were stuck choosing between efficiency and quality - UNTIL TODAY.
I’m Jayanth, the founder of Equip. We are a skill assessment platform for recruiters. With our online assessments, we help you identify the best-skilled candidates for a particular role. We are a tiny team (just 5 of us!) but have assessed 170,000+ candidates in the past 3 years.
While objective questions like MCQs make it easy to rank candidates, a lot of the nuance of natural language responses is lost if you just select an option in a question. When you interview a candidate, you don't just give them 4 choices, do you?
To improve the screening process, we built AI Interviews. If you are evaluating several people (for hiring, but also for a competition say), you can add the same question you'd have asked them on a call and prompt the AI to evaluate like you'd have. For eg, if your question is "What's your favorite pizza topping?", your prompt can be "Award negative points if they mention pineapples".
What's more, you can specify whether the candidate must answer via text, audio or video. Our AI will handle everything at its end. I'll be honest; at least as of now, we are a GPT-wrapper. So, our AI is as intelligent as ChatGPT, Claude, etc. That is, it is more intelligent than you and me :P
Many candidates, and even some recruiters, complain that using AI in the initial stages of hiring is inhuman. Tbh, if I was a candidate, and if an AI interview was the first round, I'd be frustrated too. But, think about it. We are perfectly fine with student exams being automatically evaluated by marking bubbles on an OMR paper. We understand it is a practical matter and because the technology exists thousands of students can attempt the exam and get results cheaply, reliably and instantly.
My hope is that our AI Interviews achieve the same kind of effect. Many candidates are rejected way too early because their CV doesn't look good. If a recruiter has to process thousands of CVs, we can't blame them for missing the needle in the haystack. With AI Interviews, the playing field is leveled. Every candidate gets a chance to showcase their skill, knowledge and experience.
The Equip team itself is a set of misfits, with many of our current roles not reflecting our educational or previous work experience. We are doing alright, you know? I mean, we built this together and we got someone like you to read about it!
