Airwork AI

Most hiring rounds end with a shortlist nobody on the team really trusts. Resumes look interchangeable, take-home tests get gamed, and the in-person round costs you a week of calendar wrangling for someone who could have been filtered in five minutes if you'd had real signal earlier. Airwork AI puts that signal earlier in the process — AI-generated assessments, real-work assignments, and a 15,000-strong vetted talent network all in one platform.

You write the role in plain language. The platform builds the assessment, scores it consistently for every applicant, and surfaces a ranked shortlist within 48 hours. The candidates worth interviewing are flagged. The ones who can't pass a basic skills check don't make it to your inbox at all.

What Airwork AI actually does

Inside one platform, Airwork covers the steps that usually live across three or four separate tools — applicant tracking, screening tests, take-home assignment software, and a sourcing marketplace.

• Screen out unqualified candidates with AI-generated assessments that score skill fit before anyone hits your inbox
• Choose from pre-built assessments or create a custom one tailored to the exact skills the role requires
• Get consistent scoring and clear reports so every hiring decision is backed by data, not gut feel
• Send candidates real-world assignments inside the platform to evaluate actual output, not polished answers
• Define what candidates submit (URLs, file uploads, text responses) with a supporting brief and time limit
• Layer screening questions, AI assessments, and assignments in a single job post
• Describe the role in plain language and let AI surface matched candidates from the talent network instantly
• Shortlist in under 48 hours using Airwork's algorithm scoring skills, experience, availability, and assessment results
• Skip the Boolean search strings and calendar ping-pong — schedule interviews with one click
• Filter the 15,000+ talent network by skills, availability, expectations, and experience

The piece that makes Airwork different from a stock applicant tracking system is the assignment layer. A good engineering candidate looks the same as a great one on paper, but a five-line problem statement plus a 90-minute deadline separates them in a hurry. Airwork standardises that part — same brief, same time window, same evaluation rubric — and saves you from sifting take-home repos in your free time.

Who it's built for

The Tier 1 lifetime ($49) gets you 5 Pro job posts, 250 candidates per job, and one team seat. That's enough for a solo founder running quarterly hires, or a small agency placing a handful of contractors a year. The cost-per-hire math is the obvious draw, but the bigger win is access to candidates from emerging markets who'd never have made it through a US-centric LinkedIn search — Airwork claims a network spanning 30+ countries and pre-vets the technical roster itself.

The deal

Lifetime access to Airwork AI is $49 right now (Tier 1) — five Pro job posts, 250 candidates per job, one team member. Compared with the recurring per-seat fees of every applicant-tracking platform that does a fraction of this, it pays for itself on the first hire.
