With ready-made assessment tests, you are not finding the candidates who fit 100% of the role. You are finding candidates who don’t fit the role at all and remove them from the hiring pipeline. 🤿🤿 Deep-dive &&💡💡 Some nichesResume Parsing and Redaction tool:A SaaS product around resume parsing and redaction tool acts as recruitment assistant, help crafting tailored messages that demonstrate candidates' value, thus improving response rates.

Some examples of products in this space: AI-powered Video Interviewing and/or AssessmentAI-powered video interviewing is a huge change in the hiring process, offering quick and efficient candidate assessments.

Hirevire and Canvass Video are some products that are in this space that support async interview flow. Hirevire crossed $950 per month in revenue. Hiring via Testing live coding skillsThere are many companies still using Zoom and shared screens to test live coding skills. Create a Micro SaaS tool that just creates a sharable browser with controls both for recruiter and candidate where they both can see each other via a video call. The tool should automatically create a link that can be accessed by both recruiter and candidate. On click of this link, it should allow video calling along with automatic ‘live coding’ options. The ability to video and voice means that your hire managers can interview applicants remotely and rapidly while creating a natural interview experience. Interviewers can easily create an online room and code together with applicants for an intuitive and remote evaluation of real-life skills on the fly. Live pair programming in a shared editor enables candidates to demonstrate their true abilities while enabling the interviewer to see their thinking, working together, and communicating. CodeLive and a few other tools are successfully able to run this model. Make sure to support as many programming languages as you can in the live coding tools. Also checkout products like CodeSubmit and CodeScreen Micro SaaS for AI-based Mock interviews with emotion analysisPreparing for interviews is often a challenging tasks for candidates and most candidates need someone to conduct mock interviews for them.

The SaaS should leverage AI to assess not just responses but also emotional cues, providing in-depth feedback to help candidates hone their interview skills. Solutions like these enhances interview readiness by analyzing factors like confidence and expression, helping individuals perform at their best when it matters most. For example, Talk Hiring fully automates the entire mock interview process for candidates. Talk Hiring reached $18K/month in revenue. Some more examples of products in this space are: Interview Igniter, Interviewbot and Interviewsby.ai Simple Hiring tool for small teams:People are vexed with complex Enterprise products and there is a certain segment of people often looking for simple solutions without any bloated feature set. The same is the case with SaaS tools in hiring ecosystem. Most of the existing Enterprise products are feature bloated and come with a lot of complex configurations and setups. By being a long time in the market, a bigger company’s products tend to be complex, bloated with features and that is where simpler products can make things better to start getting traction and get paying customers. Hiring has been in the industry for decades and in the last decade several SaaS solutions automated hiring with readily available questions, screen sharing, ready coding environments, automated assessments, etc. For example, SaaS solutions like CoderByte have 1000+ Enterprise customers and concentrate more on Enterprises. Other SaaS providers like HireVue don’t even allow manual signup without requesting a demo. HireVue currently making $60M in revenue per year.
