I am building an AI-based interview product and I am at the stage where I could really use someone who has been down this road before. Not looking for hand-holding, just someone I can bounce decisions off once in a while.

A bit of context. I was a senior engineer at a FAANG company and I built the product end to end. The tech side I can handle. Where I keep second-guessing myself is the stuff engineers do not get much exposure to, like how to think about GTM in a domain like hiring, how early founders figured out pricing and their first customers, and how to prioritize when everything feels important.

If you have built or scaled a product in HR tech, or hiring, and would be open to occasional conversations, I would genuinely value it. Even a one-time chat to sanity-check my direction would help. Happy to share more over DM.

Thanks for reading.

I am looking for a co-founder who comes from recruitment, talent acquisition, or staffing. Someone who understands how hiring teams buy, has relationships in the space, and wants to own the go-to-market and customer side as a true partner.

About me: I was a senior engineer at a FAANG company with strong hands-on experience building AI products end to end. I will own product and engineering. I need a partner to own the customer side.

Open on structure, equity or paid, whatever fits the right person. If this sounds like you or someone you know, DM me and we can take it from there.

I am on the hunt for a co-founder who comes from the hiring world. Someone with time in recruitment, talent acquisition, or staffing, who understands how hiring teams actually buy, has relationships in the space, and wants to own the go-to-market and customer side of an early-stage product.

A bit about me. I was a senior engineer at a FAANG company with strong hands-on experience building AI products end to end, from the models to the full application. I can build and scale the product side. The hiring domain and customer side is where I want a true partner.

I am open on structure. Equity if you want to build this long term, or a paid arrangement if that suits you better. I care more about finding the right person than the exact terms.

If this sounds like you or someone you know, DM me. Happy to start with a conversation and share the full picture from there.

Hi all 👋 Just a small ask. We're an early-stage team in the hiring space. We've built an AI Agent that runs your full interview loop (tech and non-tech) and scores each round against rubrics, and we have a few pilot spots open.

Right now we're looking for collaborators and referral partners: recruiters, staffing/agency folks, or anyone plugged into teams that are hiring. If you know a team drowning in interviews, we'd love a warm intro (and we're glad to make it worth your while).

No pressure at all, but if this sounds like your world, or someone comes to mind, feel free to DM me. Happy to return the favor however I can.

Thanks so much 🙏

Could be a fit if you're hiring engineers, or you're in recruiting and work with teams that are.

We've built something in the technical-hiring space and have a few free pilot spots open for teams that are actively hiring in software industry, or recruiters/agencies who'd find it useful.

If you're one of them, or can point me to the right person, a quick comment or DM would mean a lot 🙏

Hi All,

We've built a product in the Hiring space and are going live on Product Hunt today (fingers crossed!).

My cofounder and I are both from technical backgrounds, so we have limited experience on the operations/sales side. The product has good traction, and we're planning to hire our first Sales Rep/BDR to handle outbound and lead generation - the side of things we haven't been able to focus on. We're good at pitching the product once we're in a conversation, but not great at getting prospects to that conversation in the first place.

Would love your input on the following:

1. How should we structure pay for a first sales hire at an early-stage startup? Any learnings on Fixed + Variable vs. purely variable (commission-only)? What's worked for you?

2. Any lessons learned from hiring your first sales person that you wish you knew beforehand?

3. Are there other approaches worth considering before committing to a full-time sales rep ?

Appreciate any advice. Thanks!
