What's New

We’ve just rolled out a game-changing update to the Kerplunk job builder: Resume-Specific Questions—an advanced AI-powered feature that turns generic interviews into laser-focused conversations.

• Zero-Effort, High-Context – Our engine now reads every resume submitted and dynamically generates personalized follow-up questions that highlight career pivots, skill overlaps, and standout experiences.
• Human-Level Intuition, On Demand – It’s like having a top-tier recruiter in your corner—surfacing the kind of nuanced questions that uncover hidden gems and red flags you’d otherwise miss.
• Fully Flexible – Mix these into your standard interview flow or go all in with a resume-only Q&A format. It’s your process, enhanced.

You won’t see the questions ahead of time (that’s part of the magic), but we’ve built in strong, recruiter-tested guardrails to keep things sharp, relevant, and respectful.

Give it a spin in your next job post. We’d love your feedback as we continue tuning it for real-world hiring wins.

Today marks a new era for Kerplunk. We are excited to welcome the leadership of Chuck Cotter to our team as our incoming Chief Executive Officer. Chuck's background in HR Technology, most recently with Workday, combined with his unique experience in leading successful technology companies, will be instrumental in driving Kerplunk's growth and success.

We could not be more thrilled to have Chuck join our team and look forward to the many opportunities ahead for Kerplunk.

“How do I know a candidate isn't secretly Googling or pasting prompts into ChatGPT while they answer?

Now you do. Kerplunk's new Interview Integrity Notification keeps eyes—and answers—where they belong. If a candidate clicks away, they get a friendly pop-up and 15 seconds to return. Stick around and the interview continues; stay gone and the recording ends automatically.

That tiny safeguard gives you big peace of mind. No hidden screens, no AI crib sheets—just genuine, on-the-spot responses you can trust, delivered faster and with zero extra fuss for your team.

Bring Kerplunk’s spoken-word intelligence straight into your browser with our brand-new Kerplunk Chrome Extension—a feather-light, on-demand way to size up any LinkedIn profile against your open role without ever leaving the tab.

• One-click Fit Score – Drop a job description into the sidebar and instantly see a skills-, experience-, and education-weighted match rating (we’ll even show our work).
• Context-aware Deep Dive – Get auto-generated insights on accomplishments, red flags, and follow-up questions so you can prep outreach in seconds—not hours.
• Direct-to-DM Outreach – Copy a customized cold-open that feels personal (because it is) and paste it straight into LinkedIn messages—no tab juggling required.

We’re rolling this out in limited beta. Watch the video here to learn more. Shoot us a note and we’ll add you to the test flight so you can tell us what rocks—and what needs refinement—before the public launch.

You can now utilize Anthropic's Claude 3.7 directly inside of Kerplunk. You'll be blown away by the results -- smarter candidate matching, sharper insights, and faster decisions.
