ATS for tech

Applicant tracking software for technology companies

An ATS for tech companies must handle very high applicant-to-hire ratios without losing strong engineers to résumé triage. TalentHive AI-voice-interviews every qualified applicant on role-specific competencies, scores them against your rubric, and returns a ranked shortlist within hours.

The problem

What makes tech hiring hard

Hundreds of applicants per engineering role

A single remote engineering posting routinely draws several hundred applications. Recruiters phone-screen a fraction, so selection is effectively decided by whoever writes the best résumé — not by who can do the job.

Résumé keyword matching misses non-traditional backgrounds

Self-taught engineers, career changers and bootcamp graduates are systematically filtered out by keyword screens. A structured interview surfaces capability that a résumé never signals.

Engineering time is the scarcest screening resource

Every hour a senior engineer spends on a first-round screen is an hour off the roadmap. Moving round one to AI keeps engineers in later, higher-signal rounds.

Competency rubric

What the AI interviewer scores

Every applicant to a tech role answers the same structured questions and is scored against the same rubric. These are the competencies TalentHive is typically configured to evaluate — all of them editable per role.

  • Technical depth in the stated stack
  • System design and trade-off reasoning
  • Debugging and problem decomposition
  • Communication of technical concepts
  • Collaboration and code review practice
  • Ownership and delivery track record
Common roles

Direct answers

Technology Companies hiring questions, answered

Can an AI interview assess technical depth?

It assesses how a candidate reasons and communicates about technical work — architecture trade-offs, debugging approach, past decisions and their consequences. It is a structured technical screen, not a replacement for a live coding or system-design round, which stays with your engineers.

How does this help with high-volume engineering roles?

Interviews run in parallel and around the clock, so 400 applicants are interviewed in roughly the time 4 would be. Your engineers only meet the top of a ranked, evidence-backed shortlist.
