Need your expert opinions
Hey folks, I’ve been building an AI agent called HirePass.
I’m at a crossroads and need some brutal honesty from this community before I commit more time to it.
The Problem:
In 2026, everyone is using AI to fluff their resumes. For non-tech roles (Sales, Ops, Marketing, HR), it’s becoming impossible for recruiters to filter talent.
Result? Candidates get ghosted, and recruiters stay overwhelmed.
The "HirePass" Hypothesis: Instead of a static resume, the app uses an AI Agent to put candidates through :
-
voice only interview sessions that focus on role specific questions.
-
5-minute role-play simulations (e.g., handling a difficult client for Sales, or prioritizing a crisis for Ops).
-
Case challenges designed to test and develop deeper market knowledge and role specific skills
The Features:
• Skill-Based Readiness Score: Not based on keywords, but on how you actually perform in the simulation. This helps you skip the queue and get hired faster.
• AI-Generated Proof: A "Verified Scorecard" that shows recruiters exactly how you think.
• The "Referral" Hook: If you pass the simulation, the app drafts a high-impact referral pitch and helps you get it to the right people. My Questions for you:
-
For Candidates: Would you spend 5-10 minutes on a simulation if it meant your profile was "Verified" and moved to the top of the pile? Or is "more work" a dealbreaker?
-
For Recruiters/Hiring Managers: Would you trust a scorecard generated by an AI agent over a traditional resume for a non-tech role?
-
The Pivot: I’m moving away from tech-only to mass-market non-tech. Is this a goldmine or a graveyard?
I have found these kind of interview to be very shitty, reason being if ur talking to a person u can clarify if they are able to understand ur not.. whereas in these interviews it's like soul less
Exactly. And besides, basic thing is, interviewees expect equality and respect. If I have to turn on video, the interviewers too should do the same. If I am serious about it, the other side too should be. Asking to take audio interview is insulting, means you just don’t value the candidature.
That’s a very valid point..however I have designed these interviews in such a way that it challenges you and tries to find gaps that can be filled rather than just having a conversation.
Also, there are certain gamified challenges that assess your problem solving and critical thinking skills ..I would request you to try it once
I hate voice ai interviews. I doubt any candidate will prefer. It is same like you trying to get in touch with human customer care, but asked to talk to an automated voice or to chatbot
That’s a good point but in this case the interviews are voice input only..that means the user can speak but the AI only assess…you can give it try and let me know your thoughts..
