$1,000 / monthA community competition by Vitae AI

The Recruiter AI Stack. Show what you built. Win $1,000.

Every month, recruiters submit the AI workflows they actually use to source faster, screen smarter, or close more deals. The community votes. The best workflow wins $1,000 in cash and a full case study read by thousands of recruiters. No theory, no vendor pitches. Just the receipts.

Global. Free to enter. One winner a month, paid the following week.

01How it works/ three steps

Submit, vote, win. That is the whole thing.

No essays, no judging panels, no pitch decks. Recruiters share what works for them, recruiters decide what they would steal, and the best workflow each month gets paid.

01

Submit a workflow you actually use

Tell us the problem you were trying to solve, the AI tools you wired together to solve it, and the outcome. No fluff, no theory. The workflows that win are the ones that save real hours every week.

02

The community votes

Every approved workflow gets its own page in the public gallery. Recruiters and TA pros vote on what they would actually steal. One vote per workflow per person. You cannot vote on your own.

03

Top workflow each month wins $1,000

We feature the winner as a full case study on Vitae and on Poya Farighi's LinkedIn. Weekly Workflow of the Week posts go out to thousands of recruiters. Even runners-up get reach they could not buy.

02Why enter/ four reasons

The cash is the smallest reason this is worth your time.

$1,000 a month is real money. It is also the least valuable thing you get. The reach, the proof, and the community signal compound over months in ways advertising spend never could.

Cash

$1,000 monthly cash prize

Wire transfer to the winner. No strings, no clawback. The community picks who wins; we just pay it out. Global eligibility, paid in local currency where possible.

Reach

Featured case study and LinkedIn post

Winning workflows get a full case study at vitae.ai/stack, distributed across Vitae's audience and Poya's LinkedIn (15k+ recruiters). That is meaningful career signal you cannot buy with ad spend.

Status

Public proof you ship

Recruiters increasingly hire for AI fluency. A workflow with public votes attached to your name is a portfolio piece. Multiple winners and high-voted entries will compound into a real reputation.

Community

See what other recruiters are actually building

The gallery is a free, growing library of real workflows from real working recruiters. No vendor pitches, no LinkedIn influencer takes. Just the receipts.

03What people are submitting/ example gallery

Eight workflows we already love. Yours could be on this wall next month.

We seeded the gallery with real workflows from recruiters in our network so you can see the bar. Yours does not need to be more clever than these. It just needs to actually work.
