HireHunch, a Bangalore-based B2B SaaS company specialising in Interview-as-a-Service, has launched a new product called HunchScore. This offering is targeted at technology graduates and professionals to help them prepare for real-world interview scenarios and equip them for future career challenges.

HunchScore aims to redefine the recruitment market by aiding candidates in their job search efforts, especially within the competitive tech industry. Over the past four years, HireHunch has established a reputation for high standards in virtual interviewing, mainly through its Interview-as-a-Service tool. The latest offering addresses the pressing need for effective interview preparation and confidence-building.

The key features of HunchScore include a realistic interview environment, tailored questions and scenarios based on specific job roles, and feedback from seasoned experts. These elements together create a comprehensive rehearsal process intended to reduce candidates' anxiety, improve their performance, and build their confidence.

Nawal Mishra, Founder of HireHunch, stated, “Today’s tech job market is a dynamic landscape where standing out is not just an advantage—it’s a necessity. Our new offering HunchScore for mock interviews is developed to empower candidates to rise to this challenge, providing them with a realistic and immersive interview experience that sharpens their skills and boosts their confidence. In a competitive environment where technical roles are constantly evolving, tailored practice is key. We are committed to equipping candidates with the tools they need to navigate this complex terrain and meet the high standards of top tech employers."

Additionally, Michael D'Souza, Head of Growth and Product at HireHunch, commented, "We are committed to transforming HireHunch's Tech Talent Pool into the go-to resource for premium tech candidates sought after by top recruiters and hiring managers from leading companies. We are making significant strides in developing a fully functional candidate application aimed at engaging tech graduates and working professionals, turning them into highly desirable tech candidates. Our future plans include a range of innovative products and initiatives designed to achieve this goal, ensuring HireHunch continues to lead the way in tech recruitment solutions."

HunchScore is more than just a tool for improving interview preparedness. It elevates candidates into HireHunch's exclusive Talent Pool, granting them priority access to job opportunities and invaluable networking advantages. This programme is particularly beneficial for candidates who missed out on campus placements, come from tier 2-3 colleges, or feel stagnant in their current roles. The strategic advantage aims to facilitate more successful hiring outcomes and open doors to various opportunities within the industry.

Founded in 2020 by Nawal Mishra and Anjulika Pandey, HireHunch has teamed up with industry leaders such as Lenskart, upGrad, and Byju’s to address traditional candidate shortlisting challenges. This collaboration has resulted in the development of a consistent skill assessment platform and a flexible SaaS model for virtual interviewing through its HunchVue tool. Candidates excelling in these mock interviews will gain priority job opportunities and networking benefits via HireHunch’s exclusive Talent Pool.

HireHunch continues to enhance its services with the aim of tackling real-world challenges in tech recruitment, aiming to create a more inclusive ecosystem.
