cruxHire is an AI-powered platform designed for recruiters to streamline every step of the hiring process using intelligent agents and intuitive workflows like kanban boards.
About the Project
We built cruxHire from scratch with the mission to modernize and automate recruitment workflows. Tailored for today's recruitment teams, the platform helps manage candidates efficiently, eliminate manual tasks, and provide AI-driven insights that accelerate decision-making.
At the heart of cruxHire is a smart AI agent that can analyze resumes, rank candidates, and assist with candidate outreach—all seamlessly integrated into the recruiter’s daily workflow.
Key Challenges
Before cruxHire, most tools lacked:
- Support for multiple tenants or client organizations
- Real-time data pipelines and resume parsing capabilities
- Fine-grained role and permission management
- Rich automations or integrations with third-party tools like ATS or job boards
We set out to build an enterprise-ready hiring platform from the ground up, with scalability, modularity, and user experience at its core.
Design and Development
From frontend to backend, cruxHire was architected with scalability, performance, and flexibility in mind. We designed a cloud-native infrastructure and adopted a modular development approach to ensure fast iteration and clean separation of concerns.
