We're #2 on Product Hunt (help us hit #1?)

Hey there,

Ford here with some exciting news – we're LIVE on Product Hunt today!

Right now, Runway's AI-Powered Applicant Ranking Tool is sitting at #2, and we're making a serious run for the top spot.

But first, let me tell you why this launch matters (and why I'm asking for your support).

The Problem We Finally Solved

After working with 500+ companies through Runway, I kept seeing the same frustrating pattern:

Hiring a software engineer for Netflix is completely different from hiring one for a local startup – but every AI screening tool treats them exactly the same.

Same with Oracle sales reps vs. Coca-Cola sales reps. Same with marketing roles at enterprise companies vs. fast-growing startups.

Generic filters miss what makes someone successful at YOUR specific company.

What We Built Instead

Our new AI tool lets you define company-specific scoring criteria.

You're not just screening for "Java skills" – you're screening for:

• "Java skills + startup agility + ability to wear multiple hats"

• OR "Java skills + enterprise experience + process adherence"

Here's how it works:

1. Upload your job description + up to 50 resumes

2. Customize the ranking parameters that actually predict success at YOUR organization

3. Get applicant rankings that reflect what success looks like at your company

Whether you're:

• Netflix looking for engineers who thrive in high-performance culture

• A startup needing scrappy problem-solvers who can build from scratch

• Oracle needing sales reps who can navigate complex enterprise deals

• Coca-Cola wanting consumer brand experts who understand retail

The result? Applicant rankings that reflect YOUR company's reality, not generic job categories.

Why This Matters to You

If you've ever hired someone who looked perfect on paper but didn't work out, you know the frustration. They had all the right skills but couldn't adapt to your company's pace, culture, or way of working.

This tool helps you find candidates who don't just have the skills – they have the right type of skills for your specific environment.

So we built it.
