Hey PH, I’m Ali Elzeiny 👋
Bootstrapping RocketDevs 🚀 ($5M ARR).
Launching Hivemind 🧠($0M ARR).
When I first pitched this idea to Y Combinator, Michael Seibel called it, and I quote, “a bullshit idea.”
But we built it anyway. Because we had to.
I’ve launched and shut down startups, and one truth has become painfully clear:
Your hiring decisions will make or break your company.
Yet picking the right applicant feels like a gamble. Anyone who’s opened a job post lately knows the feeling: an overwhelming flood of applicants, and no real way to know who’s actually good.
At RocketDevs, a staffing company, we felt this every single day. Vetting wasn’t just part of our job; it was THE entire business. To scale it, I would have had to duct-tape eight overpriced tools together and pray they didn’t break.
So we built Hivemind 🐝🧠. First for ourselves, and now for you.
IF the goal of an ATS is to find the best candidates that apply,
THEN Hivemind is the best on the market. By an order of magnitude.
It’s the first car in a market full of horses.
__________________________________________
"The first car" is a bold claim. So, what's under the hood?
Hivemind is the first agentic recruiting platform. That’s just a fancy way of saying we combined powerful AI with smart, automated workflows.
Here’s why that matters.
Think about every ATS on the market today. Strip away the UI, and what are you left with? A glorified spreadsheet. A candidate applies, and they just sit there in a list. The system doesn't do anything until you do. It's a dead tool, and all the work still falls on you.
Hivemind is workflow-first. This means it’s alive ⚡
The moment a candidate applies, Hivemind kicks into action based on the process you define. It screens the resume, sends a skill assessment, follows up, and schedules the interview. It's a proactive agent working for you 24/7.
We are laser-focused on skill-based vetting. Which means Hivemind comes loaded with tens of thousands of expert-designed questions covering 1,200 roles, ready to deploy with any workflow.
You give it a stack of applicants. It gives you back a ranked shortlist of vetted candidates, ready for you to talk to.
Just add the Hivemind link to your job post and come back a week later ✅
__________________________________________
Here’s what it can do:
It ranks resumes and profiles against the job description.
It proctors and grades well-designed skill assessments across 1,200 roles.
It auto-routes candidates based on their scores.
It proctors personality assessments (Clifton, Briggs-Myers) and grade against the role
It automatically follows up with dropped-off candidates.
It schedules interviews based on your calendar.
It co-pilots your in-person interviews! (Zoom + Google Meets).
It co-pilots voice calls and takes notes (Beta).
It straight up calls candidates and does phone interviews.
It collects all feedback and uploads it to a central report card for each candidate.
It funnels all matters that require your review into one inbox.
It is 100% customizable. Simple when you need it, and powerful when you need more.
__________________________________________
Isn't recruiting still a people-based process?
Absolutely. Hivemind is designed to put you in the driver’s seat. We built "Manual Review (a centralized inbox inspired by Superhuman) where you can jump in at any stage. You get the final say; Hivemind just does the tedious work for you. It also includes powerful copilot features that capture insights from your conversations and upload them directly to a central report card.

Who It’s For
Founders scaling without a dedicated recruiter
Global companies getting 1000+ applicants a day
Anyone tired of résumé roulette, guesswork, and time drain

I'm not on Twitter, but you can always DM me on LinkedIn (Ali Elzeiny). If you message me with a feature request, there's a good chance I'll build it.
I've also been making content on YouTube recently. I just posted a deep-dive video on how we used Reddit Ads to bootstrap RocketDevs to $5M ARR, achieving a 10-18x ROAS. If you're looking for growth hacks, check it out.
A big thank you to @rohanrecommends for hunting us!
And of course, a huge shoutout to the team. Bootstrapping a product is like eating a shit sandwich every day 😅 I’m blessed to work with engineers who obsess over every pixel, every workflow, and every user ❤️
@rohanrecommends @ali_elzeiny Congratulations on launching Hivemind - transforming recruiting from a guessing game into an intelligent, automated process is exactly what the industry needed!

This project seems to filter out incoming candidates on first stage of interviews. On the other side, people can also use AI to craft awesome CVs and complete tests, perhaps even targeting your product if it scales big, resulting in strange candidates passing AI hiring stages. What's the protection against it?
Hivemind
@nikitaeverywhere The assessment system incorporates sophisticated mechanisms that detect instances of cheating and estimate the likelihood of external assistance being utilized. I can't disclose what the trip wires are, but this is what it would look like in the report card if we detected external assistance.
Jinna.ai
@ali_elzeiny pretty cool, thanks!
Jinna.ai
@ali_elzeiny there's a double edge, however: from the screenshot above, seeing what exactly the system thinks is cheating is important, as otherwise, I should entirely trust Hivemind on thinking that someone cheats
Hivemind
@nikitaeverywhere Thank you for your valuable insight. We were also mindful of this issue and intentionally chose our wording, using "possible" instance of cheating.
This is super, @ali_elzeiny Hivemind really seems to solve the pain of résumé roulette and tedious follow-ups.
As a marketer, I also loved your interactive launch video, could you share how you made it?
Quick question, how do you ensure that the AI rankings and assessments stay unbiased across different roles, industries, and candidate backgrounds? Curious how you handle fairness while still maximizing efficiency.
Hivemind
@lina_huchok Hello Lina, that's an excellent question! The issue with AI is quite significant, perhaps beyond our current capabilities to address. While AI is responsible for grading assessments, we enhance the process by enabling effective human evaluations through "manual review nodes."
We did our video with Arcade!
@ali_elzeiny Thanks! That makes a lot of sense, love how you’re combining AI efficiency with human oversight. And thanks so much for sharing Arcade! I’ll definitely check it out.
YouMind
Skill-based hiring, a brand-new approach to recruitment, as a startup team, I'm really interested in giving it a try. @HiveMind
Hivemind
@nicoleastor Thank you, I would like to know what your experience is with it and what you think about it
Lancepilot
Congrats on the launch of HiveMind. Wishing you massive success in transforming recruiting with automation turning stacks of applicants into top-tier hires effortlessly. Excited to see how this reshapes the future of hiring!
Hivemind
@priyankamandal Thank you, Priyanka. Lancepilot is equipped to handle your marketing needs, while Hivemind can manage your recruitment efforts :)
Hey everyone! I’m the lead engineer here at HiveMind. Super excited (and a little nervous) to finally share this with you all.
We built HiveMind to take the boring, repetitive parts out of hiring — things like resume screening, test grading, scheduling — so that teams can focus on what really matters: getting to know the right candidates.
Would love your feedback, ideas, and even your harsh critiques — it’s how we’ll make HiveMind better. Thanks for checking it out!
Hivemind
@ammaryasser Same! Learning quite a bit by watching founders onboard live on stream 😅
I think what's interesting about this product is just how it doesn't take away the human side of hiring. It still gives you autonomy over how and who you choose to hire. It does all the redundant tasks, but still you get to interact in a way where you can see the human sides of applicants and filter out those who genuinely care about their field, from those who just had resume buzzwords on.
Great product, deserves all the accolades.
Hivemind
@ken_osian Thanks, Ken!
