# How I Built an AI-Powered Reverse Hiring Platform with Next.js, Supabase, and OpenAI
The hiring process is fundamentally broken.
Candidates send hundreds of applications into a void of automated rejections. Companies pay €25,000 per hire to recruiting agencies who copy-paste LinkedIn profiles into emails. Everyone works harder, nobody gets better results.

What if companies had to find candidates — not the other way around? What if salary was disclosed before the first conversation? What if candidates stayed anonymous until they chose to engage?
