@ford_coleman Hiring today isn’t just about finding a qualified candidate - it’s about finding the right fit, fast. That’s why I found this AI-powered applicant ranking tool genuinely refreshing.
You can define your own hiring priorities, upload up to 50 resumes, and instantly get a smart ranking based on what you care about most. No more generic filters or endless sorting.
Now imagine pairing it with something like PlusDocSign “Chat with Your Contract” - where instead of asking the candidate, you can chat directly with the resume. Ask questions like “Do they have project management experience?” and get instant answers. It's like talking to a smart friend who already read the entire CV for you.
Really impressive approach to hiring + AI!
Looking forward to your response :)
Runway
@sania_khan10 thanks so much, Sania really appreciate you digging in.
Totally agree: hiring today is about speed and precision. The idea of pairing Runway with tools like PlusDocSign sounds super interesting.
If you’re open to it, I’d love to hear more about how you’d combine tools like these into your workflow. We’re actively exploring integrations and love getting feedback!
@ford_coleman Thanks for your reply! I’d love to explore how we can combine Runway with PlusDocSign. If you’re interested, we can set up a quick call to understand the integration better and see how it can fit into your workflow :D
Runway
@ford_coleman @sania_khan10 Thanks Sania! I think this is a great idea and definitely something we will consider in future iterations.
@ford_coleman @camrunway You're welcome! I' glad you found the idea helpful. I'd be happy to support whenever you're ready to explore it further just let me know. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves in future iterations!
Runway
@ford_coleman @sania_khan10 Sounds good, will stay in touch!

Love that you can set your own ranking rules—no more cookie-cutter filters! That’s a gamechanger for hiring, tbh. Nice work on this one team!
Runway
@joey_zhu_seopage_ai appreciate you Joey
That was exactly the goal. We kept hearing from teams that no two roles (or companies) are the same, so why should the filters be? Excited to see how you might use this at BestPage. Curious what kind of traits you look for when hiring!

@joey_zhu_seopage_ai Thanks, Joey! We're really excited for people to see the power of the custom rules.
Runway
@joey_zhu_seopage_ai Thanks Joey! We couldn't agree more. With so many resumes engineered solely for ATS, it's been difficult to assess genuine suitability for a role beyond just keywords. That's why empowering users to set their own ranking rules is so crucial for finding the right talent.

Looks very polished with straight forward experience, congrats for the launch @ford_coleman and the team! 🚀

Thanks, @youssef_abdelwahed Appreciate you taking a look!

Wow this works so well, what made you realize this was something people needed?
Runway
@cjen Thanks for the kind words! We built this after hearing from so many recruiters who had tried every major platform, but were inundated with poor matches. Our goal is to help hiring team surface their top applicants in a much more transparent way.
Runway
@cjen That's fantastic to hear! We realized this was needed because traditional ATS often prioritized keywords over true fit, which led to a lot of irrelevant applications and talented people getting missed.
We saw a clear need for a more intuitive system that allowed hiring managers to define their own specific criteria for a role, cutting through the keyword clutter to find genuine fit. That insight drove us to create this tool!
Runway
@cjen we worked with over 500 employers helping to connect them with entry level talent. Saw that there was a challenge in vetting them based on resume alone and companies were wasting time interviewing non fits
TeamBuddy
Nicely looking tool, congrats for launch!
Runway
@w_kocjan Thanks for checking it out! Excited to share with everyone.
Runway
@w_kocjan thank you sir!
Runway
@w_kocjan Cheers!
I've worked with Ford many times before and have always been a fan of what's he's built, especially with Runway. Congrats on the PH launch :) @ford_coleman
Runway
@aj_eckstein Thanks for the kind words, AJ!
Runway
@aj_eckstein you da man!
Runway
@ford_coleman @aj_eckstein We appreciate your long-time support and thrilled to have you celebrate our PH launch with us!
This is Runway nails something that’s been long overdue. Context-aware hiring. Most tools forget that the definition of a great hire varies wildly between companies and even roles.
Loved how you're building flexibility into the scoring logics.
Also, do you plan to support async hiring collaboration (e.g., scoring calibration across interviewers)?
Really impressive launch. Excited to follow where you take this.
Runway
@suvam_deo Thanks for taking a look, Suvam! Absolutely plan, and do support much more. This is just one of our tools. We have a lot more to offer for the full hiring flow at https://joinrunway.io.
@colejoh Great. I will surely look into it!
Runway
@suvam_deo Thanks for the awesome feedback! You totally get our vision for context-aware hiring. And yes, async collaboration is definitely on our roadmap!
@camrunway Great Cam! Ready for this...
Runway
@suvam_deo thanks for the support!
@ford_coleman Welcome Ford!
Tough Tongue AI
Love the fact that the value is right there on the landing page. No sign in, no clicking multiple buttons to get to it.
Runway
@aj_123 Thanks for noticing! Definitely by design 🙂
Runway
@aj_123 Glad you caught that! We found that pushing sign-up until later really helps users convert. It's all about communicating the value upfront.
Runway
@aj_123 heck yeah! We def want to let our users see the value in the first 10 seconds
July
This looks awesome!! What is the ideal customer for you all?
Runway
@wellswithjuly Thanks, Wells! We primarily work with early career recruiters (companies hiring interns and new grads.) For this launch though, we've adapted our tech to be used by hiring teams of all sizes. Excited to share with everyone!
Runway
@wellswithjuly @colejoh thanks for the support! Our niche is in the entry level space so university recruiters who get 1000s of resumes
Runway
@wellswithjuly We appreciate the support! While we initially focused on early-career talent, this launch has truly opened our eyes to how universally valuable Runway's precision ranking is for anyone in the hiring process.
July
Interesting concept! Is this something you built based on a firsthand painful experience, or did you see others struggling to find the right candidates?
Runway
@danielmagill A bit of both, actually! We’ve seen firsthand how posting a job can flood you with hundreds of applicants, and yet you still struggle to find the right person. At the same time, many candidates feel buried in the noise even when they know they’d be a great fit. We hope this will help hiring teams find those perfect applicants.
Runway
@danielmagill Thanks so much! The ideal customer question really gets to the heart of why we built Runway. On one side, we saw hiring teams buried under applications, struggling to sift through resumes. On the other, incredibly talented early-career individuals often felt their unique potential was getting lost in the noise.
Runway aims to bridge that gap, helping both sides find their ideal match with clarity and precision.
Runway
@danielmagill we did a ton of manual matches with employers and candidates! Helped thousands of candidates find their dream jobs and hundreds of employers find talent that will retain

Sounds like a practical upgrade for hiring workflows—being able to define your own ranking priorities makes a big difference compared to rigid ATS systems. Will give it a try when I get the chance. Congrats on the launch 🚀
Runway
@naderikladious Thanks, Nader! Looking forward to any feedback you might have.

@colejoh Sure thing 😊
Runway
@naderikladious Thanks so much! You've nailed exactly why we built Runway. That flexibility to define your own priorities truly changes the game compared to traditional systems. We're confident you'll see the difference when you try it. Appreciate the support! 🚀
Runway
@naderikladious would LOVE your feedback once you give it a try :)

@ford_coleman Sure thing 😊
Really like this take on hiring — letting companies ditch generic filters and focus on what actually matters for their team. Feels like a smart way to find the right fit. Excited to see how it evolves!
Runway
@kevincardona Right on, Kevin! Thanks for taking a look 🙂
Runway
@kevincardona Thanks so much! You've perfectly captured the heart of what we're building. Ditching generic filters for true fit is exactly our mission. We're incredibly excited for you to be part of Runway's evolution! 🚀
Runway
@kevincardona love it! let us know what ya think after using the tool!

I am going to reverse engineer it to feel a bit safe wihle applying to a job 😂
But on a serious not, this is great. I remember it was a headache to narrow down some good candidates just for the first call for me when I used to hire for my startup. You guys are going a long way with this.
Congrats on the launch @ford_coleman @colejoh @camrunway
Runway
@lakshya_singh Thanks, Lakshya. You've nailed exactly what we're going for. Our goal isn’t to deliver your final hire but to surface the strongest candidates for first-round interviews. The human touch in hiring is still important!
Runway
@colejoh @camrunway @lakshya_singh appreciate it!
Assessing for culture fit is extremely important for early stage startups and traditional ATS scanners aren't able to assess for this. Does Runway have any way of assessing a potential candidate beyond the "traditional" technical skills?
Runway
@lienchueh that's what our tool is all about! You can assess a candidate based on your own hiring criteria!
Runway
@lienchueh Good callout! We're aiming to tackle these types of challenges with our larger hiring platform at https://joinrunway.io
This really made me pause—never realized how generic most hiring filters are until now.
Awesome to see something tackling this. Congrats on the launch!
This is what is needed in today's world, very great work
What a cool tool! Great work Ford!
Congrats on the launch of Runway! It’s impressive to see a tool that tailors applicant rankings to specific hiring priorities.
Love this direction, finally a tool that respects the nuance in hiring! Generic ATS filters often miss the mark when it comes to aligning with actual team needs.
A customizable ranking engine feels like a game-changer, especially for lean teams juggling talent and time constraints. Curious how flexible those ranking parameters can get.
JoinRunway looks like a game-changer love how it empowers teams to score and shortlist candidates seamlessly right in the platform. Quick question are you planning to add AI-powered bias detection or interview feedback integration as it scales?
