What do you like best about Hivemind?
Hivemind doesn't just store candidates the way Lever does, it actually moves them. It feels less like a database and more like an extra team member. If a candidate applies, Hivemind screens them; if they pass, it schedules them. The real difference is action vs. storage. Our time-to-hire dropped by nearly 40% simply because nothing falls through the cracks during handoffs between stages.
