Hi Sumolings, I’m Sanat Hegde

I, along with my Co-Founder Nikhil Kachare created Hirevire to help you screen more candidates in less time.

  A little more than a decade ago, I ran a small web development company where I frequently hired entry and mid-level developers. As the founder, I personally screened all applicants for both skill and cultural fit to ensure efficient interviews for my team. This was a time consuming but a crucial part of our hiring process, because of a few bad hires right at the start of my entrepreneurial journey.

After my company was acquired by another growing startup, I was constantly interviewing candidates for larger teams, but this was more challenging because someone from HR would only share a very short written screening note (if I was lucky) along with a resumé.

To address this issue, I created Hirevire, which captures answers to screening questions in a more meaningful format through video rather than just CVs or resumes. This video can be shared with the interviewer beforehand, providing them with essential information needed for successful interviews.

While other software relies on AI to screen candidates (usually on buzzwords in the resume), I firmly believe that AI in recruitment is a foolish approach to an extremely human focused task. Instead, our goal is to simplify collecting answers at scale so you can focus on conducting more effective interviews.   

What’s in it for you?   

👀 Don’t waste time waiting for candidates to show up for an initial screening call.

📹 Setup questions once and collect answers forever. Include a video explaining your company culture, vision and the job responsibilities.

  📝 Send out a Hirevire link to shortlisted applicants, or collect video responses as the first step of your interview process. You can even create a custom careers page within hirevire, that that shows all your active jobs in one place on your website.

  📤 Share a link of the answers submitted by the candidate with the interviewers, so there’s a warm pre-interview introduction.   

📧 Send out automated emails every time you shortlist or reject a candidate.

🔗 Connect Hirevire to your favourite software using Zapier  

We have more than a few customers collecting video answers for purposes other than hiring, using our stupid-simple UI.

Most of the features we’ve built have been based on feedback we’ve collected from our users - would love a feature request from you.
