Every great team starts with a great hire. But behind every hiring process, there are stories that never get told…

An overworked recruiter spending late nights skimming through 300+ resumes—only to miss the perfect candidate buried in page 27.

A qualified job-seeker rejected without feedback after applying to 15 roles, wondering if their resume even got read.

An HR manager trying to meet impossible hiring deadlines while juggling meetings, onboarding, and team wellbeing.

These stories are real.
They happen every single day.
And they are preventable.

HireHunter is your AI-powered hiring assistant—built to reduce chaos, bring fairness, and give people their time back.

It’s not just automation. It’s care.

This project answers the call to build agentic AI that solves real pain.

HireHunter is that agent—acting with purpose, empathy, and efficiency.

• 📄 Parses resumes (JSON input or drag-and-drop)
• 🧠 Ranks candidates based on role fit, skills, and experience
• 🔁 Provides an autonomous recommendation flow
• 📬 Suggests top candidates for scheduling
• 📅 Mocks interview booking (for demo purposes)

All on one sleek, judgment-free dashboard.

“Here are 3 candidates who match your hiring criteria. Would you like me to schedule interviews?”
– HireHunter Agent

• Frontend: React + Tailwind CSS + shadcn/ui
• Backend: FastAPI + Python
• Data: JSON-based resumes, hardcoded filters
• AI Logic: NLP and Agentic AI models handled through sophisticated back-end processes

While we used an open stack to move quickly during the hackathon, our architecture is compatible with Microsoft AI tools like Azure OpenAI, Logic Apps, or Semantic Kernel — which can easily plug into our agent loop. This could easily be extended into Azure Functions or plugged into Microsoft Teams via adaptive cards for internal hiring workflows.

💼 Recruiters can spend more time interviewing, less time triaging.

💡 Candidates receive a fairer, faster process—no more "black hole" applications.

🧘 HR teams get relief from the mental load of hiring under pressure.

“HireHunter helped me fill 5 roles in 2 days without burnout. It’s like having a smart assistant who actually cares.” – Aarthy Gupta, HR Lead
