More applicants, fewer recruiters, less trust.
Hiring teams are reading more applications than ever with fewer people, and the AI tools meant to help often hand them numbers nobody can explain.
Humans became the bottleneck.
Between 2022 and 2025, the average job drew more than twice as many applications while recruiting teams shrank.
applications per job in 2025, up 111% from 116 in 2022
more applications per recruiter, 2022 to 2025
fewer recruiters per organization, 2022 to 2025

A score nobody can explain is a score nobody should trust.
Hiring managers largely trust AI; candidates largely don't. Research keeps finding bias in language models asked to rank resumes, and regulators want employers to explain automated decisions.

Three commitments.
The AI judges. The platform computes.
The model judges each resume on four criteria. HireRabbit.AI computes every total, average and count you see. The headline score always agrees with the four scores beside it.
The AI suggests. Your rules decide.
Rabbit, HireRabbit.AI's AI assistant, suggests short reasons; you write the real one. Single-candidate moves need a recorded reason, and auto-reject only runs on a threshold you set and a batch you confirm.
Guardrails in code, not prompts.
A resume with no overlap with the job's required skills is capped at 20, whatever the model says. Candidate names and emails are kept out of the prompt that suggests move reasons.
Decisions we made on purpose
- The model supplies the criterion scores. Every weight, total, average and count built from them, including the headline, comes from HireRabbit.AI.
- Decisions about people stay with people. Rabbit suggests move-reason chips; recruiters write the reason.
- Candidate identity stays out of the prompt that suggests move reasons.
- Closing a job writes nothing to candidate records, so reopening it restores everything.
- Rejecting is a separate permission from moving, checked on the destination stage.
- AI failures are reported for what they are: a rate limit looks different from a rejected request.
