Kerplunk

Kerplunk is a specialized AI-powered platform for asynchronous video interviews, created to modernize the recruitment process. Its core value lies in eliminating the logistical headaches of scheduling live interviews, allowing candidates to record answers at their convenience while giving hiring teams structured, on-demand access to responses. This approach significantly accelerates screening and improves the candidate experience by offering flexibility.

Key features: The platform enables recruiters to create custom question sets with time limits for candidate responses. It provides automated interview invitations and reminders to keep the process moving. Candidates can complete interviews from any device with a camera, and all recordings are automatically organized in a centralized dashboard for review. The system includes basic tools for rating and comparing candidates side-by-side, and it often integrates with applicant tracking systems to maintain a seamless workflow.

What makes Kerplunk unique is its focus purely on the asynchronous interview format, avoiding the complexity of live meeting coordination. Technically, it operates as a web-based platform requiring no software installation, ensuring broad accessibility. While it may use AI for basic transcription or analytics in higher tiers, its primary function is to structure and deliver the interview process efficiently. It integrates with major HR and ATS platforms to fit into existing recruitment tech stacks without disruption.

Ideal for recruiters, HR departments, and hiring managers at companies of all sizes, especially those handling high volumes of applicants. Specific use cases include initial screening rounds for remote positions, internship programs with many candidates, and organizations aiming to reduce time-to-hire and provide a more inclusive process for candidates in different time zones.
