The small business recruiting problem

Traditional recruiting platforms are built for enterprises, with complex workflows and $10,000+/year pricing that prices out SMBs

You need affordable recruiting software with transparent pricing that fits your small business budget.

You need simple workflows designed for single-person HR teams without enterprise complexity.

You need quick setup and onboarding that gets you hiring in minutes, not weeks of configuration.

You need SMB-focused candidate sourcing that understands small business hiring needs and culture fit.
