Automate candidate screening. Create a quiz and set evaluation prompts for each question. Equip AI will evaluate candidates' text, audio or video responses and rank them. Effective for recruiters. Convenient for candidates.
I’m Jayanth, the founder of Equip. We are a skill assessment platform for recruiters. With our online assessments, we help you identify the best-skilled candidates for a particular role. We are a tiny team (just 5 of us!) but have assessed 170,000+ candidates in the past 3 years.
While objective questions like MCQs make it easy to rank candidates, a lot of the nuance of natural language responses is lost if you just select an option in a question. When you interview a candidate, you don't just give them 4 choices, do you?
To improve the screening process, we built AI Interviews. If you are evaluating several people (for hiring, but also for a competition say), you can add the same question you'd have asked them on a call and prompt the AI to evaluate like you'd have. For eg, if your question is "What's your favorite pizza topping?", your prompt can be "Award negative points if they mention pineapples".
What's more, you can specify whether the candidate must answer via text, audio or video. Our AI will handle everything at its end. I'll be honest; at least as of now, we are a GPT-wrapper. So, our AI is as intelligent as ChatGPT, Claude, etc. That is, it is more intelligent than you and me :P
Many candidates, and even some recruiters, complain that using AI in the initial stages of hiring is inhuman. Tbh, if I was a candidate, and if an AI interview was the first round, I'd be frustrated too. But, think about it. We are perfectly fine with student exams being automatically evaluated by marking bubbles on an OMR paper. We understand it is a practical matter and because the technology exists thousands of students can attempt the exam and get results cheaply, reliably and instantly.
My hope is that our AI Interviews achieve the same kind of effect. Many candidates are rejected way too early because their CV doesn't look good. If a recruiter has to process thousands of CVs, we can't blame them for missing the needle in the haystack. With AI Interviews, the playing field is leveled. Every candidate gets a chance to showcase their skill, knowledge and experience.
The Equip team itself is a set of misfits, with many of our current roles not reflecting our educational or previous work experience. We are doing alright, you know? I mean, we built this together and we got someone like you to read about it!

finally, screening that doesn’t feel like a slow-motion spreadsheet disaster.
love the idea of giving candidates room to express themselves in text, audio or video and letting AI handle the heavy lifting on evals 🙌
Screen smarter, not harder. This tool lets recruiters build custom quizzes, set evaluation prompts, and let AI handle the scoring across text, audio, or video. It’s fast, fair, and candidate friendly. A win-win for hiring teams.
Big congrats on the launch! 👏Tried Equip and found it to be an efficient tool for evaluating candidates before formal interviews — saved us a lot of time.
This looks great. This will make the entire hiring process so smooth and fair. loved the product. congratulations 🎉
Looks great! I feel like as a point of feedback I'm starting to see teams actually want ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, etc for hiring, especially for coding interviews.
I know there's a huge blowback against using these for copypaste solutions, but I've noticed that key talent has been using AI the most to actually enhance their workflow and reach that complex endstate for a feature faster than they would have normally done so by hand. If you could somehow rate effectiveness of use of AI tools like this during interviews, I think you could take that type of differentiator to some really big outfits.
Not to detract from how this looks! I also love that you essentially making recruiting from the entire funnel from intern -> professional easy to do on the platform, following and keep it up!
Looks great ! I believe this could help cut the chase and get a very filtered list
Hiring managers could save tons of time screening candidates. Looks more fully featured than other similar offers. very cool!
Congrats on the launch!
This is such a great tool to deal with massive applications influx. I’ve known Jayanth for a decade now. He is been building great products since forever and I have seen Equip grow consistently.
