The pipeline
One workflow, from a blank role to a closed loop.
A blank role becomes a live posting in six steps. A pile of applicants becomes one organized list. And everyone in that list, on both sides, hears back.
Write the role honestly
Six steps: role details, description, required, preferred, questions, preview. Nothing publishes until you've read it as an outsider would.
Read the people who answered
One clean list per role, grouped by what the evidence shows. AI maps requirements to the candidate's own words — no opaque score.
Talk without leaving the page
Schedule interviews and message candidates in the same place they already live, so nothing falls through a separate inbox.
Tell them what you decided
Every applicant sees a live status. Declines come with a reason you approve before it sends — no ghosting, in either direction.
Writing the role
Six steps, and you see exactly what the candidate sees.
Role details, description, required, preferred, questions, preview. Nothing is published until you have read it as an outsider would.
Separating required from preferred is the single biggest change you can make to your applicant pool.
So we made it structural rather than optional. A wish list pretending to be a requirement costs you the person you were hoping to meet.
Evidence summary
AI-assisted- 2+ years marketing experience
- “Owned the content calendar for 18 months at Meridian, then 2 years at Northstar.”
- Google Analytics
- Mentioned in a course list, not in work history — worth asking.
Rice & Bean never scores, ranks, rejects or hires. It quotes the candidate.
Dana's decision
Every outcome is attributable to a named human on the hiring team.
Reading the people
One clean list per role. No inbox archaeology.
Applicants arrive organized, with stage filters instead of a spreadsheet of names someone maintains by hand on a Friday afternoon.
Review is AI-assisted, not AI-decided: each requirement is mapped back to evidence from the candidate's own materials, and anything unclear is called out as unclear. There is no opaque match score, because a number you cannot argue with is not a reason.
When one line in a résumé is ambiguous, ask about it. A single clarifying question costs less than a wrong rejection.
Who decides
Humans decide. Always.
No AI on Rice & Bean advances, rejects, or ranks a candidate. Every status change is a named person on your team clicking a button they could be asked about later.
Never automated
No robot rejections
An AI can draft language, but only a named person on your team can send a decision.
Never hidden
No opaque scoring
Evidence is quoted from the candidate's own materials — arguable, not algorithmic.
Never silent
No ghosting, either way
Every applicant gets a status. Every decline gets a reason your team approved.
Closing the loop
What your candidates experience
Every applicant sees a live status: submitted, under review, interview, offer, or a decision with a reason. Nobody is left guessing, which means nobody spends three weeks resenting your brand.
When you decline someone, we help you draft something respectful and you approve it before it sends. Eleven seconds of your time, remembered for years.
Sample rejection, employer-approved
“Thank you for applying to the E-commerce Merchandiser role. We've moved forward with a candidate who has owned a Shopify catalogue end to end. Your retail background was genuinely strong and we're hiring a second merchandiser this winter — I'd welcome another conversation then.”
