Interesting concept! Is this something you built based on a firsthand painful experience, or did you see others struggling to find the right candidates?
Runway
@danielmagill A bit of both, actually! We’ve seen firsthand how posting a job can flood you with hundreds of applicants, and yet you still struggle to find the right person. At the same time, many candidates feel buried in the noise even when they know they’d be a great fit. We hope this will help hiring teams find those perfect applicants.
Runway
@danielmagill Thanks so much! The ideal customer question really gets to the heart of why we built Runway. On one side, we saw hiring teams buried under applications, struggling to sift through resumes. On the other, incredibly talented early-career individuals often felt their unique potential was getting lost in the noise.
Runway aims to bridge that gap, helping both sides find their ideal match with clarity and precision.

@danielmagill we did a ton of manual matches with employers and candidates! Helped thousands of candidates find their dream jobs and hundreds of employers find talent that will retain
This is Runway nails something that’s been long overdue. Context-aware hiring. Most tools forget that the definition of a great hire varies wildly between companies and even roles.
Loved how you're building flexibility into the scoring logics.
Also, do you plan to support async hiring collaboration (e.g., scoring calibration across interviewers)?
Really impressive launch. Excited to follow where you take this.
Runway

Sounds like a practical upgrade for hiring workflows—being able to define your own ranking priorities makes a big difference compared to rigid ATS systems. Will give it a try when I get the chance. Congrats on the launch 🚀

Assessing for culture fit is extremely important for early stage startups and traditional ATS scanners aren't able to assess for this. Does Runway have any way of assessing a potential candidate beyond the "traditional" technical skills?
Runway
@lienchueh that's what our tool is all about! You can assess a candidate based on your own hiring criteria!
Runway
@lienchueh Good callout! We're aiming to tackle these types of challenges with our larger hiring platform at https://joinrunway.io
