Recruiters are drowning in resumes and a lot of them end up screening the wrong ones manually (👀 7 seconds per resume, on average!).
So we built AI interviewers S(ai)na to do the first round of interviews for Recruiters. It’s saving teams 20+ hours and shaving off 10+ days in time-to-hire.
We’re already seeing love from early users, now we just want to share it with the PH Community.
This is the 3rd launch from HireHunch. View more

Interesting approach to cutting hiring bottlenecks — phone screens are one of the most time-consuming parts of the process. How does the AI handle edge cases where candidates give unexpected or creative answers?
HireHunch
@fairpay Great question. In early screening, most questions are designed to capture structured signals like experience, skills, availability, compensation expectations, or problem-solving approach.
When candidates give unexpected or creative answers, the system doesn’t try to force a rigid interpretation. The responses are transcribed and analyzed for key signals, but recruiters can always review the full response and context.
In many cases those “unexpected” answers are actually useful, because they reveal how a candidate thinks or communicates. The AI helps surface those responses efficiently, while the final judgment still stays with the recruiter.
So the goal is not to over-automate decision making, but to make it much faster for recruiters to review and identify promising candidates.
Automating phone screens and first-round interviews with AI targets the exact stage of the hiring funnel where the most recruiter time gets burned on candidates who won't advance — handling that initial qualification layer frees up human recruiters to focus on the nuanced later-stage conversations where judgment actually matters. The key question for any AI-driven interview tool is candidate experience; how do candidates typically react to the AI interviewer compared to a human phone screen — do you see differences in completion rates or candidate satisfaction scores between the two formats?

@svyat_dvoretski That’s exactly the problem we’re trying to solve. A large portion of recruiter time gets spent on early screening that often doesn’t move candidates forward.
On the candidate side, what we’re seeing so far is that most candidates appreciate the speed and flexibility. Instead of waiting days for a recruiter to schedule a call, they can complete the screening when it’s convenient for them and move ahead in the process faster.
Completion rates have been quite strong, especially when the expectations are clearly communicated upfront. Candidates generally respond well when they understand that this step helps accelerate their application rather than delay it.
We also see this as a complement to human interaction rather than a replacement. The goal is to automate the initial qualification layer so recruiters can spend more time on meaningful conversations with shortlisted candidates.
Candidate experience is definitely something we’re closely tracking and continuously improving as we scale.
Phone screening was always the fastest way to filter candidates, but also where the first connection happened. Some people simply prefer talking to a human — it is how trust starts. Have you seen any pushback from candidates on the AI-led screening, or does the speed trade-off make up for it?
HireHunch
@klara_minarikova That’s a great point. Phone screening has always been both a filtering step and a way to start that first human connection.
What we’ve seen so far is that most candidates actually appreciate the speed and flexibility. Instead of waiting days for a recruiter call, they can complete the screening immediately and move forward faster in the process.
We’re also careful about positioning it clearly to candidates. It’s not meant to replace human interaction in the entire hiring journey. It simply handles the initial screening so recruiters can spend more time having meaningful conversations with the most relevant candidates later in the process.
That balance between efficiency and human connection is something we’re paying close attention to as we continue improving the product.

👋 Hey Product Hunt!
I'm Nawal, and I've been obsessed with one problem for the past year: why does hiring still feel like it's stuck in 2005?
Watching recruiters drown in spreadsheets, manually dialing candidates, and copy-pasting the same screening questions over and over - it felt like a solvable problem. So we built JusRecruit.
JusRecruit is an AI-powered recruiting ATS platform for high-volume hiring teams. It runs AI phone screenings, conducts structured interviews, and surfaces your best candidates - automatically. The outcome we're laser-focused on: cutting 10–15 days off time-to-hire and saving recruiters ~20 hours of manual work per role.
We've been deep in the weeds on this - talking to recruiting agencies, in-house TA teams, and high-growth companies hiring hundreds of people at once. Every conversation reinforced the same pain: screening is broken at scale.
This is our answer to that.
If you're in recruiting, talent acquisition, or just someone who's been on the receiving end of a chaotic hiring process - I'd genuinely love your take.
👉 What's the most painful, soul-crushing part of your hiring process right now?
Every response shapes what we build next. Thanks for being here 🙌

Thrilled to launch JusRecruit here today! 🙌
Recruiters told us the same thing over and over: too many CVs, too little time, and first-round calls eating up the entire week.
With JusRecruit, your pipeline moves on autopilot. Every candidate gets a structured AI interview the moment they apply. You get a shortlist with consistent, comparable insights, so you can focus on closing, not filtering.
Less screening. Better hires. Faster. That's what we built.
Built by people who've lived the hiring bottlenecks firsthand, we'd love for you to try it and tell us what you think!
Love the recruiter side of this. Building on the candidate side with JobsUncle.ai would love to chat about where these intersect.
HireHunch
@michael_matassa Appreciate that, thanks. JobsUncle.ai sounds interesting, especially if you're focusing on the candidate side of the journey.
There’s definitely a lot of opportunity where candidate experience and recruiter efficiency intersect. Would love to learn more about what you’re building and explore where there might be overlap.
@siddhartha_sarker1 Would love to jump on a quick call this week — I think there's something real where these two products meet. michael@matassa.com | linkedin.com/in/matassa
