By
Rohan Chaubey
Crisped on the outside, thoughtful enough on the inside.
Summary
HiveMind is a skill-based hiring platform that uses AI to automate candidate vetting and ranking. Founded by Ali Elzeiny, who previously built RocketDevs to $5M ARR, the tool addresses the problem of overwhelming applicant volumes by providing ranked, vetted candidates based on skill signals rather than traditional resume screening.

Input: a stack of applicants. Output: vetted candidates, ranked by signal.
