Four types of people visit HireScout. Each one needs a different path to their "aha moment." The goal: everyone sees ranked candidates within 2 minutes.
Landing page: see the interactive demo with mock data
They drag sliders, see candidates re-rank. First taste.
"Try with your own job" button goes to /try
No login required. They pick a domain or paste a JD.
Progress screen, then pipeline with real scored candidates
This is the aha moment. They see their job, real categories, ranked candidates.
Pipeline shows a banner: "Sign in to save this and use with real candidates"
Soft nudge. The demo data is ephemeral. Login to keep it.
Demo jobs show a "Demo" badge. Clear visual distinction.
"Try another" button available. Let them explore different roles.
No "Generate Candidates" on real pipeline pages. Only on demo jobs.
Banner nudging to connect Ashby for real data.
