The work problem
After Coinbase published a piece on talent density it received a record number of applicants. That flow continued into 2025. Growing the recruiting team in step with the number of applicants was effectively impossible. As a result some applications did not get a proper review.
Technology and data
The company built an AI tool for application review in house. The tool sorts and prioritises applications against the experience and skills that fit open roles. It is applied in some regions and roles outside the European Union and the United Kingdom. Qualified applicants are reviewed one by one by a recruiter. The company said recruiters remain at the centre of the process. Scheduling interviews and organising interview notes are written up as plans, targeted for release in the third quarter of 2025.
Results
Coinbase said the goal is to make the hiring process faster and friendlier to applicants. It explained that the aim is to let more applicants receive a fair and careful review beyond the limits of the recruiting team's size. It wrote that recruiters will spend more time building relationships with the top applicants the AI surfaces. The article carries no figures such as volume handled or time saved.
Limits and open questions
Scheduling interviews and organising notes are written up in the source only as plans. Figures supporting an improvement in review speed or fairness are not in the source.
