214 applicants. Three were read properly.
Volume"We just need someone great." No written outcomes.
RoleThe candidate asks the range. Nobody knows it.
PayBest candidate accepts another offer on Tuesday.
Speed
Six weeks. No hire. The same role, reopened.
- If you're the founder
- You're interviewing every candidate yourself because nobody else knows what you're looking for.
- If you run operations
- Hiring managers each run their own process, and you're the one explaining the delays.
- Usually
- 8–25 people, one to eight hires a year, no in-house recruiter.
Recognition
You may be here because…
Six things that make small-company hiring slow and hard to repeat. Most of them happen before the first interview.
-
See itHow it works
Every interviewer is assessing something different.
UnderneathNobody agreed what the interviews are for.
-

The job description lists twelve must-haves.

The new hire's first week wasn't planned.
UnderneathRecruiting ends at the signed offer. Onboarding hasn't started.
If three of these sound familiar, more candidates won't help. A clearer process will.
The real number
211 applicants are the reason this feels impossible to do yourself.
Nobody has time to read all 214 properly, so most get a skim. We read for the role, not the pile, and bring you only the ones worth your actual time.

How it works
We take it. We fix it. We run it.
One call to learn the role and your team. That's the biggest ask of your time.
We write the post and find the people. You give a quick yes or no on who we contact, so we never reach out to someone you know. Then we bring you a short list you'd actually want to meet.
We handle scheduling and follow-up until someone accepts.
What it looks like
See it in action.
A 12-person agency posts a job and gets 200 applicants. A scenario, not a case study, this is the shape of the work.
The founder skims applicants herself, at 10pm, still going.
+195 more, unopened
