RecruAI Launch: AI Hiring and Interview Platform Built for Pakistan and the Gulf

RecruAI by MenteE is a production AI hiring and interview platform — not a demo, not a landing page. It runs on a hybrid stack: PostgreSQL (port 5433, pgvector for embeddings), Kafka (KRaft, localhost:9092) for event streaming, Redis (localhost:6379) for session and cache, and a Flask backend served at port 8000 (set via PORT=8000 in .env), with the React frontend at localhost:3000.

For job seekers

RecruAI gives candidates an AI-matched job feed tailored to their skills, preferred industries, and target locations. The platform covers Pakistan and the full Gulf region: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman. Job listings reference real companies and real roles — engineering, data science, product management, finance, healthcare, and more.

• AI job matching — not keyword search, but semantic matching against your profile.
• CV optimization — AI rewrites, ATS scoring, keyword suggestions, and a built-in resume builder.
• Mock interviews — unlimited practice with realistic questions and instant feedback.
• Application tracking — applied roles, saved listings, interview schedules, results, and analytics in one dashboard.
• Public shareable profile — a profile page with visit analytics that you can share with recruiters or embed in applications.

For organizations

Hiring managers and HR teams get a dedicated organization dashboard. Post unlimited listings. Search and filter candidates by skills and experience. Send interview invitations directly. Manage the full pipeline: applied → screening → interview → offer → hired. Assign AI agents to automate screening. View analytics, billing, team access, and preferences — all in one place.

Technical architecture

The backend is Flask, environment-driven. The database layer uses PostgreSQL with pgvector for embeddings. Events flow through Kafka (KRaft mode, localhost:9092). Sessions and caches live in Redis (localhost:6379). The backend listens on port 8000, not 3000 — the frontend is separate on its own port. The architecture is designed for production: observable, deployable with Docker Compose, and ready for the traffic that comes when a platform covers seven countries at once.

Geographic coverage

RecruAI is not a generic global job board. It is built for the markets where MenteE operates: Pakistan and the Gulf. That means country chips, localized job listings, and role categories that reflect the actual hiring demand in these markets — from startup engineering roles in Karachi and Lahore to senior positions in Dubai, Riyadh, Doha, Kuwait City, Manama, and Muscat.

What comes next

RecruAI is live today as a production platform. Verified growth metrics — total listings, optimized CVs, active companies, country coverage — will replace aspirational numbers as the user base scales. The team is focused on reliability, pipeline automation, and expanding AI agent capabilities for both individual job seekers and organizations.
