I'm a finance guy with zero coding background. My friend's hiring nightmare made me build an AI SAAS product.
7 days ago I was a financial auditor. Today I have a live product. Still processing that honestly.
It started with a conversation with a friend who was hiring for his startup. He told me he posted one role and got 300 applications in two days. He spent an entire weekend reading resumes, got completely overwhelmed, and ended up hiring whoever seemed least bad. He said the signal to noise ratio had completely collapsed.
That stuck with me. I'm a finance guy, never built anything in my life. But I figured I'd try.
So I spent 7 days building HireCopilot. You post a job, share an apply link, candidates apply, and AI reads every resume and scores it 0-100 with a short explanation and skill tags. You only open the ones that actually fit.
Built the whole thing with the help of AI and a lot of errors I had no idea how to fix. Somehow it works.
It's live at hirecopilot.vercel.app. Beta, free right now. Looking for founders or small business owners who are doing their own hiring to try it and tell me everything that's wrong with it.
Happy to answer anything about building with zero coding background too.
