Stop sifting 100s of portfolios. Find top designers.
BuildForms gives founders a structured, AI-powered way to evaluate design talent instantly, without a dedicated HR team.
Your Portfolio Review Is Broken. It's Not Your Fault.
You need designers who can ship, not just make pretty slides. But most applications are polished Dribbble links and generic case studies. How do you cut through the noise when you have 150 applicants for one role and no HR team?
Structured Intake: Objectively Evaluate Design Talent
BuildForms helps you define exactly what you need from a designer. Our system lets you ask for specific project breakdowns, problem-solving approaches, and relevant artifacts. This means you collect the right data upfront, making evaluation clear. Learn more about structured intake.
AI Evaluation: Filter Out Noise, Highlight Genius
Once candidates submit, our AI instantly summarizes and ranks each application against your criteria. No more manual comparisons or subjective gut feelings. You see the top 10% of designers ready for an interview in minutes, not days. See our AI in action.
Hire Designers Who Actually Deliver
The old way is hiring based on keywords or where someone worked. Our system helps you hire based on what a designer can actually do and their approach to real problems. This means better hires, less churn, and more impact on your product. Avoid early employee churn.
