@vahan_melkonyan perfect timing! ✌️ We just started to hire our first software engineer. Is there any possibility to present a video? We tried to make a funny hiring video.
Vahan Melkonyan
@michael_sieb Sure is! Just select the 2nd or 3rd templates and the General Info page will come with a built-in video, from there change the url :) Love the video btw, where do I apply? 👀
Lian Hakobyan
@vahan_melkonyan Wow! This completely shifts the perception of a job application. Now applicants can earn their way up to an interview and avoid resume black holes.

Susanna Keyan
hey @vahan_melkonyan . Congrats on the launch! Looks really good, I like the design! Do you have an offer for startups or individual recruiters? Seems a bit pricey as is.
Vahan Melkonyan

Love seeing Cauldron on Product Hunt. BTW @vahan_melkonyan I just got off a call with a candidate that we sourced with Cauldron:) Now that we are using Cauldron to screen our applications we are spending significantly less time on talking to not competent candidates.
Vahan Melkonyan
@mane_yeganyan2 Great having you as an early user! Looking forward to confirmed hires from your end!
Jaisal Rathee
Brilliant! Congrats on the launch :)
Vahan Melkonyan
@jaisalr Thanks for the nice words :) Let me know what you think when you try it!
Ana Bibikova
Hi there. Congrats! I love the app and the design. You definitely have my upvote. I've tested it and stumbled upon a problem, though. In the employer's form Company Video section appears to me blocked for editing. It seams that there's embedded example and the settings are set to Private or smth, anyway I didn't manage to insert customised link. If I'm wrong and there're no block for editing make sure the experience is user friendly, - meaning users won't spend 10 minutes like I did trying to figure out how to change the link. Just add some quick guidelines. Otherwise, it's great! Good luck with Cauldron
Vahan Melkonyan
@anab Hey! Thanks for the nice words and the feedback on the video insert part. Seems like currently it's set to only take the embedded video link from YouTube. We'll change to work with the standard YouTube link and add a tooltip :) Looking forward to see what you build with Cauldron!
Shiloh Johnson
Pre-scheduled notifications that let applicants know where we are in the process? Fantastic! Will have to check this out more!
Vahan Melkonyan
@shilohjohnson No such thing as overcommunication in our books :) Glad you liked it!
Davit Tamrazyan
@shilohjohnson Hey Shiloh, thanks for your kind words! Transparency and conversation are the cornerstones of how we envision hiring!
Masha Aloyan
Very impressive! Such thoughtful idea, and it seems to solve lots of problems recruiters and applicants are facing right now! On my way to register, thank you for this cool platform!

Areg Vardanyan
What do I do after creating a job. Can I post it on Linkedin/our website careers page?
Vahan Melkonyan
@aregarm Hey! Thanks for the question and for checking us out! You can generate infinite referral links, share them on your socials, job boards and put one in your career website after you've published a job. We will give you analytics on which of your referral channels performed later :)

Love this illuminating idea and the value that Cauldron is going to drive to its users. As a designer I am impressed with Cauldron's visual identity. Keep going guys!
Vahan Melkonyan
@vitalij_bogomazovid Hey! Thanks for the kind words! @davit_tamrazyan has done one hell of a job!
Dmitry Wasilewski
Interesting idea. And you have a nice and clean design as well. Congratulations.
Vahan Melkonyan
@valter Thanks for checking us out! Job applications were due for a redesign!
Bogdan Ionita
Very interesting ATS player joined the game. Welcome to hrtech, best of luck!
Vahan Melkonyan
@bogdan_ionita Haha! Thanks for the comment. We prefer to integrate though :) Job applications built on Cauldron can be tied to any of your existing ATS. We aint going for Lever 👀

Makers need to retire the tired cliche “recruiting,aka job application process is broken. We hired over 2000 people with Avature ATS and applicants gave us high sat ratings. There are amazing products on the market now so this approach immediately shuts down any conversation because it shows you don’t know the space. Instead, lead with, “We have a new take on a important process.” That way you are demonstrating awareness of the candidate market ecosystem. I am a buyer and we are looking for DEI solutions as opposed to job app options but keep up the good work!
Davit Tamrazyan
@christine_white Hey Christine, that's a great point and perspective on the matter actually! Thanks for the sincere feedback and kind words, this means a lot for our team. Have a great day!
Gaya Ter-Martirosyan
