What is Runway?

Runway is an AI-powered platform that helps companies find, vet, and develop early career talent. We combine intelligent sourcing, skills-based assessment, and a talent evaluation system to bridge the gap between education and employment.

How is Runway different from traditional job boards?

Unlike traditional job boards, Runway offers a complete talent solution that goes beyond posting jobs. We provide AI-powered candidate matching, skills-based assessment tools, and a structured trial program to evaluate candidates in real work environments before making long-term hiring decisions.

What types of companies use Runway?

Companies of all sizes use Runway, from tech startups and AI labs to enterprises and staffing agencies. Our platform is particularly valuable for organizations looking to build strong early career talent pipelines and those focused on hiring based on skills rather than just credentials.

How does Runway's AI talent ranking work?

Our AI talent ranking system evaluates candidates based on the specific skills and qualities you're looking for, not just keywords on a resume. The system analyzes applications holistically, considering factors like project experience, demonstrated skills, and potential cultural fit to rank candidates according to your actual needs.

What's the benefit of a trial period before hiring?

Trial periods allow you to evaluate candidates based on actual performance rather than interview impressions. This reduces hiring risk, improves retention, and ensures better long-term fits. Our talent evaluation platform makes these trial periods easy to manage while providing valuable performance data.

How does Runway handle payroll and compliance during trial periods?

Runway manages all administrative aspects of the trial period, including payroll processing, tax compliance, worker's compensation, and liability coverage. This allows you to focus on evaluating talent while we handle the paperwork.

Can I convert trial candidates to full-time employees?

Absolutely! Our platform includes a streamlined conversion process to transition your top performers from trial periods to full-time roles once you're confident in their fit and abilities.

What industries does Runway support?

Runway supports early career hiring across numerous industries, with particular strength in technology, engineering, marketing, design, business operations, and data science roles. Our platform is adaptable to various professional environments where skills-based assessment is valuable.
