How Hash works

A short walkthrough for seekers and recruiters — from sign-in to hangouts, without mixing hiring into the chat.

Ground rules

What Hash is — and isn’t

Hangouts are not the hire
Live rooms and Campus chats never set Offer or Passed. Recruiters run the fair process in their ATS; Hash mirrors progress levels only.
Identity stays masked until shortlist
In hangouts, display names stay aliased until a recruiter shortlists or stars you. Prefer Apply for contact details.
Skills over pedigree
Match ranks with skill, experience, and career weights. School is not a scored signal.
US tech hiring only
Seekers confirm a US region. Recruiters verify a company before posting roles.
