I built Hunr after speaking with a lot of coders and organisations, and after sitting through enough interviews to see the same failure from both sides. Deserving engineers were being filtered out before anyone saw their work, while some resumes said far more than the candidate could actually deliver. Hiring needed proof that someone can ship real code.
After speaking with coders and hiring teams, the same frustration kept coming up from both sides.
Developers were disappointed that deserving candidates never got shortlisted because the first screen rewarded the wrong things.
I also sat through interviews where the resume promised far more than the candidate could actually ship in code.
Good people were being missed, and teams were still spending hours on candidates who did not fit the skills required.
Hunr was built to give both sides a cleaner signal: practical work, inspectable evidence, and a fairer reason to say yes.
