Description
Hi hackers!My partner and I got tired of nontransparent hiring processes and "AI-native" HR software that just wrap an LLM around CVs (or even simply claims doing so) so we built Hiring Method to do the opposite.It converts CVs and job requirements into structured data, then uses a transparent math engine to score the match. Instead of trusting a black box you get a clear, audit-ready scorecard that shows exactly why a candidate is a good fit. We are currently building a sourcing feature to help find those candidates in the first place.We have been working on this for 1.5 years, and after a couple of idea pivots we finally pushed it to prod a month ago.A quick note: signups are currently put behind an onboarding call as it's a B2B tool. I know Show HN prefers immediate open access so I hope it's still okay to share our project here!Would love your feedback on the technical approach.

Could you build this?
Yes Parsing resumes into structured data via an LLM or off-the-shelf parser and applying deterministic weighted scoring formulas against job requirements is straightforward full-stack web development.
