Sound familiar?

Hiring is broken.

250+ applications per role and you can't tell anyone apart
Resumes all look the same because candidates use ChatGPT to write them
You phone-screen 30 people to find 3 worth interviewing
Candidates ghost after you invest hours in screening them
Your ATS filters out great people for missing a keyword

The difference

What changes with Tess

Without Tess

  • Resume says "5 years Python" — no way to know what they actually built
  • "Led a team of 5" on paper — no idea how decisions were made or what shipped
  • 30 phone screens to find 3 worth interviewing — weeks of recruiter time wasted

With Tess

  • Summary of what they built with Python — frameworks, scale, architecture decisions, tradeoffs they owned
  • What the team actually delivered, how they handled conflict, what they'd do differently
  • Read 30 two-minute summaries in an hour. Call the 5 who match. Skip the rest.

The process

How it works

Got existing resumes?

Drop them in. Tess scores every resume against the job requirements. You review the ranked list, pick who's worth a conversation, and send an invite. They join, Tess does the screening call. You get a summary. You just decide.

  • 01Upload your existing resumes — PDF or DOCX, in bulk
  • 02Tess scores each one against the job, 0–100 ranked list
  • 03Pick who to invite — one click per candidate
  • 04They chat with Tess. You read the summary.

Want the full pipeline?

Post a job with AI — takes 2 minutes. Tell Tess what you'd normally ask in a first phone screen. She asks exactly that. Candidates find the job, apply, and Tess runs the screen. You read the summary. You just decide.

  • 01Post a job via AI chat — describe the role and what questions matter
  • 02Job goes live publicly — candidates find and apply
  • 03Every applicant chats with Tess (she asks your questions)
  • 04You get ranked summaries. You just decide.

We do the talking. You just decide.

Tess asks what you'd ask.

When you post a job, tell Tess the questions that matter to you — “Ask if they've managed remote teams”, “Find out how they handle ambiguous requirements”. She works them in naturally. You don't write a script. You just tell her what you care about.

Available when you post a job — Tess tailors every conversation to the role.

The advantage

Data no one else has.

LinkedIn shows you job titles. Indeed shows you resumes. Tess has something different: conversations where candidates explain exactly how they work — the architecture decisions, the tradeoffs, the honest post-mortems.

That depth of signal isn't available anywhere else. It's not scraped from profiles or inferred from keywords. It's what people actually said when asked the right questions.

“The story is the verification.”
