How HookStep works

HookStep is built around a simple loop: companies publish real roles, candidates apply with a consistent profile, and both sides track progress in one place. Below is how each side typically moves from zero to interviews.

For employers and recruiters

1. Create a recruiter account using a business email and complete onboarding so your company name and public job URL are set.
2. Publish jobs with title, location, employment type, skills, and a full description. Active listings appear on the public jobs directory and on your company job page when applicable.
3. Review applications in the dashboard: see candidate profiles, documents, and status. Move people through shortlist, interview, or closed states according to your process.
4. Coordinate next steps with your team using the same source of truth so nobody duplicates outreach or loses context.

For job seekers

1. Sign in and complete your candidate profile: experience, skills, links, and optional resume so employers see a complete picture once.
2. Browse open roles on the jobs page. Filter by category, location, and keywords that match your background.
3. Apply to roles that fit. Your application is stored with that job so you can track where you have already raised your hand.
4. Watch for updates from hiring teams through the product as they progress your application.
