Your recruiter-informed AI copilot for tech job search
HireKey is a recruiter-informed AI job-search co-pilot for tech job seekers who want to apply strategically & interview with confidence. It helps you assess your role fit, tailor resumes, communicate experience & track applications. Unlike basic ATS tools, HireKey combines AI with 10 years of recruiting experience at Microsoft, Amazon & Stripe, plus practice out loud with an interactive AI voice coach that responds to your answers & provides real-time interview feedback.
I spent 10 years recruiting for technical and non-technical roles at Microsoft, Amazon, and Stripe, to name a few. I reviewed thousands of resumes and interviewed thousands of candidates.
Time and time again, I saw qualified people get passed over simply because their resumes didn’t connect their experience to the role, or because they struggled to explain that experience in an interview. They had the right skills, but hiring managers weren’t seeing the connection.
That stayed with me because many of those people were incredibly talented, genuine people whom I had to give the unfortunate news of rejection, which is honestly the worst part of recruiting.
So, we built HireKey around the recruiting knowledge I’d gathered over those 10 years, giving job seekers access to the perspective from the other side of the hiring table.
HireKey helps you assess how your experience fits a role, tailor your resume, practice interviews with an interactive AI voice coach, and track your applications in one place.
How it works
1. Add the job and your master resume. Find a role you want to apply for and add its title, company, location, and job description to HireKey’s Job Tracker. Upload your master resume once, then use it across the jobs you’re considering.
2. Tailor your resume and assess your fit. HireKey adapts your master resume to the job description, bringing your relevant experience into focus, along with an analysis of missing skills or experience and whether transferable experience could help bridge those gaps.
3. Practice out loud, on demand. Practice using the STAR framework with an interactive AI voice coach. Get specific feedback on where your answers are strongest and where you still need practice.
4. Keep your search organized. Track applications through stages such as applied, screening, and interviewing, so you always know where things stand.

A closer look at interview practice
Knowing your work and explaining it clearly are two different skills. This was something I saw repeatedly as a recruiter, and it’s why interview practice is such an important part of HireKey.
You can choose practice questions or add your own, then start speaking with the coach, all on demand. It responds to what you actually say and helps you identify where an answer needs more clarity or detail. You also get a debrief on what went well and what to improve.
Prefer to prepare on your own first? You can print interview questions with tips on how to approach your answers.
Who it’s for
HireKey is built for people pursuing technical and non-technical roles in tech, especially when you:
- Find an interesting role but aren’t sure how well your experience fits. - Need help making your relevant experience clear on your resume. - Know your work but struggle to explain it in an interview. - Have multiple applications in progress and need to keep track of them.
We’d love to hear from you: What’s hardest about job searching? Is it deciding where to apply, showing your experience on paper, or talking about it in an interview?
