Great hires start with great interviews. Hireguide uses AI and hiring science to help teams create structured interviews that screen for skill and automate interview notetaking. The result? Better quality hires, faster.
Hi Product Hunt community!
We're ✨ SUPER EXCITED ✨ to share this launch with you!
Founded by LinkedIn alumni, we're on a mission to make it easy for talent teams to conduct efficient, effective, and equitable interviews.
Interviews are the gateway to opportunity at work — but today, the interview process is flawed. Hiring managers often go to interviews unprepared or unsure of what to ask candidates, while recruiters are spending too much time chasing down interview feedback instead of connecting with candidates.
That's why we built Hireguide. Hireguide unites AI and hiring science to help teams create structured interviews that screen for skill and automate interview notetaking. That means better hires and better candidate experiences.
We're still building and would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
❤️ Love it? Let us know.
🪄 Have ideas for us? Please do share.

@janice_oh love this. This is good for both people doing the interview and interviewers.

@janice_oh so excited to see this! I wallow through so many scattered interviews where post-game slack conversations are the only evidence for how the interview went. Stoked for that to change ✊
Just a note that Hireguide is also a certified BCorp making clearer, less biased interviews accessible to everyone. We subsidize free use of Hireguide for smaller businesses who do almost 50% of all hires and want a complete kit to the best decision.
@scott_parish@daniyalbetween Following structured interviewing practices grounded in the core skills and attributes needed for success reduces bias on its own. Please see https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc.... as one reference.
We help you design your interview loop, build structured content for each interview, and make it easier for your interviewers to follow the structure. Also by scoring and commenting on the candidate's performance on each question, we can role this up to calculate performance on each of the top-level skills and abilities.
We also measure (and provide feedback to the interviewers) things like interviewer talking speed and interviewer-candidate talk ratio. Down the road we'll coach on changes in behaviour when interviewing candidates from underrepresented groups.
@daniyalbetween thank you! For sure - a quick response below but happy to discuss this more at scott@hireguide.com if you like - we're all very passionate about fairness!
We we're inspired by Iris Bohnet (Harvard Kennedy School) work in her book "What Works". While, breaking bias training is valuable, it is very hard transfer and implement in the moment of interviewing. So instead of putting on the sole responsibility on interviewers to "break bias", Iris suggests we should also design hiring systems that assume that the interviewers are bias. Essentially, by using process checks we can more effectively reduce bias.
At Hireguide we started with the idea of making a series of interviewing best practices called "structured interviewing" extremely easy to use. These practices bake in lower bias and double decision quality.
A few examples of process checks that hugely reduce bias, 1) many interviewers let bias creep in if they are not clear what competencies they are looking for, why they are asking a question or what a good answer looks like. They kind of wing it. So instead, on Hireguide we reduce bias by allowing you to create a competency scorecard with questions and answers in a minute for any role. 2) having more than one interviewer score candidates reduces your idiocratic bias. So on Hireguide we let you easily share recordings with the team, score privately and compare candidates.
Alycia Damp our PhD in Hiring Science started with a meta-analytic study of 103 interview studies and worked with our product team to bake in dozens of these bias reducing process checks.
Thank you for the question!

Hi! Where’s the “first comment” for your launch? :-)
I liked the idea (and upvoted as well: good luck!), but need to clear smth out: what roles interviews do you mean? Only devs? Marketers as well? Designers? Smbd else?
@je_suis_yaroslav Thank you! Our vision is for Hireguide to help hire for all roles. You can enter in any position that you're hiring for and get interview questions based on the skills that are most important to you for that role.
@janice_oh Hireguide is such an amazing product! I love how interviewers / employers can keep track of candidates performance in such a tidy and efficient manner. Does it integrate with zoom / google meet so we can still send out calendar invitations like we have been doing? Cheers!🙌🏻
@janice_oh@harrischh , Thanks Harris! Yes, we integrate with Zoom, Teams, and Meet (we use Recall @amanda_zhu under the hood). We also integrate with many applicant tracking systems like Greenhouse and Lever (official lever partners). And yes, you can integrate your calendar (microsoft and google) so you can set up interviews just like you have been doing.

Fantastic, intuitive website. In addition to regular hires, we can definitely use this to improve interviews during our contracting process. Any concern about potential interviewees using the free trial to try to anticipate their questions? Just a thought--could be a non-issue. Maybe that's just part of their interview preparation...
Thanks @michael_m9! It could very well be a good tool for candidates to prep, but we have a large library of content and use generative AI to help customers tune their interview scripts to measure exactly what they need. The odds of the candidate getting the exact content is low. Also the interviewer should be digging in to the candidates' answers. It is hard to BS on behavioral questions.
Thank you, Amanda! Really appreciate your positive review and engaging with us 💛. Please let us know if there is anything we can help with! Happy hiring 📈 🚀

Congratulations Joel and team on the launch. This has been a pain point for all the interviewers out there and I couldn't think of a better team to solve this.
@boyu_zhang To be honest, I was inspired by HireIn, the linkedin internal interview management system for engineering. Hoping we can make something even better but for the world.
