About HireNorm

Making the technical recruitment process streamlined and less complicated for the 21st century.

HireNorm is a SaaS product offering whose mission is to help small and medium sized tech enterprises simplify their recruitment process and improve candidate and employee experience.

Recruitment software today is an integral part of every technology company's hiring workflow. For most candidates it is the first introduction to your internal practices. True to the saying “First impression matters“ your professional job board is a representation of your company to prospective employees.

HireNorm offers companies the toolset to easily publish personalized job boards that eases the job posting process for employers and the application process for candidates. It aims to serve as your all-in-one technical hiring platform that will streamline your hiring process starting with job postings, applicant tracking, parsing resumes, searching resumes, monitoring hiring pipeline and all the way to interview scheduling and conducting online coding interviews.

Founding Story

Arun Goud Akkala, PhDFounder / Owner

It all started with a need. My experience applying to tech jobs made me realize how much time consuming and repetitive it was for candidates to fill out multi-page job applications. To add to this frustration, while working in BigTech and at startups I noticed how recruitment software was aimed at making life easy for recruiters and sourcers but had minimal features to assist me in conducting coding interviews or filter resumes of candidates with a specific skillset.

Ad-hoc solutions and inefficient, tedious practices that I witnessed, both as an interviewer and as an interviewee, included:

Monotonously searching through every candidate's resume for keywords of interest.
Using Google Docs to have candidates type the code out with no way to verify its operation.
Scrounging the web to find free live coding platforms (which introduced me to the fantastic resources - codebunk.com, regex101.com, online SQL editors, etc).
Giving up on finding coding platforms that supported programming languages that are commonly used in the hardware industry, such as, Verilog, VHDL and Tcl.

Only a few lucky companies could afford commercial coding assessment solutions which are more of a luxury and in no way a drop-in replacement for recruitment software.

HireNorm was created in 2024 to go above and beyond traditional recruitment software. I welcome you to try it out and judge for yourself.

At its core, HireNorm is a productivity tool built by an engineer/tech professional for his fellow engineers and tech professionals. Because we all deserve better than the status quo.
