Binary

Product Introduction

1. Definition: Binary is a cloud-based Applicant Tracking System (ATS) designed for modern hiring workflows, leveraging AI to automate candidate screening and communication.
2. Core Value Proposition: It solves inefficient recruitment by offering unlimited free job postings, AI-powered candidate reviews, and rapid response tools to reduce time-to-hire for startups and SMBs.

Main Features

1. Video Questions: Enables dynamic application forms with video prompts and live response tracking. Uses WebRTC technology for browser-based recording and real-time analytics dashboards to measure engagement.
2. AI Assistant: Automatically tags applications using NLP algorithms (likely transformer-based models) to surface top candidates. Processes submissions to highlight skills/experience, reducing manual screening by 70%+.
3. Superfast Mode: Full-screen candidate review UI with keyboard shortcuts (e.g., one-key rejection/approval) and bulk actions. Built on React for instant rendering of 1,000+ applications.
4. Email Replies: Integrated SMTP with templated responses and send-time optimization. Logs all candidate communications in a unified thread using AES-256 encrypted databases.

Problems Solved

1. Pain Point: Cumbersome manual screening causing high-performers to drop out during slow hiring processes.
2. Target Audience: Startup founders (5-50 employees), tech recruiters, and HR managers at VC-backed companies needing volume hiring.
3. Use Cases:
   • Scaling recruitment during funding rounds without adding HR staff
   • Reducing bias in screening via AI tagging
   • Replying to 100+ daily applicants using saved templates

Unique Advantages

1. Differentiation: Only ATS with truly unlimited free tier (vs. competitors like Greenhouse/Lever restricting jobs/candidates). Pro plan costs 60% less than market average.
2. Key Innovation: Privacy-focused AI—partner models (e.g., Anthropic, OpenAI) don’t train on user data. Security includes SOC 2 compliance (in progress) and end-to-end encryption.
