Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2015)

San Francisco - ONSITE - https://interviewed.com

We're Interviewed (YC S15) and we build job simulations.

We're taking the parts of hiring that work for developers and applying it to non-technical jobs. We know that resumes don't predict who will be a great hire. Instead, the way to identify the best candidate is to let them work on real-world problems in their native habitat. We think the same thing is true for customer service, sales, marketing, and lots of other roles. That's what we do…

Here are some of the engineering challenges on our roadmap:

- Reduce the latency for transcription of audio files to near real-time

- Design sophisticated UIs using React + Flux or Backbone to let our customers build their own simulations (imagine Wufoo on steroids)

- Chat bots (text and voice) that simulate complex customer interactions and are tailored for different roles

- NLP and machine learning algorithms to analyze emails, chats and voice recordings, score them across a variety of dimensions and predict who the best candidates are

- Video streaming and analysis
