For Pre-Seed to Seed Startups (< 15 people)

Intelligent Hiring Without the ATS Complexity

Works standalone or enhances your existing ATS - Get screening intelligence for €279/month instead of €600+

Post jobs with public self-screening pages. Receive only qualified candidates. No calendar sync, no email templates—just the intelligence you need.

Making your first critical hires? Every hire can make or break your startup.

You're a founder, not a recruiter. But your first 5-10 hires define your company culture, set technical direction, and determine whether you hit product-market fit.

As a founder, you can't afford:

  • Recruiters: €15-20K per hire (20% of first-year salary)
  • Enterprise ATS: €10K+/year for features you don't need
  • A bad hire: At 5-10 people, one wrong person destroys culture
  • Slow hiring: Losing runway while understaffed kills momentum
  • HR experience: You've never interviewed professionally before

But you also need to:

  • Find hidden gems: Talented people who don't have brand-name experience
  • Hire fast: Screen 200 applicants in hours, not weeks
  • Interview confidently: Know exactly what to ask in interviews
  • Make smart offers: Understand if compensation expectations align
  • Build culture: Find people who'll thrive in your startup environment
