How we run your hiring
We become part of your team: your recruiting team if you don't have one, or an extension of HR's recruiting if you do. Everything runs in HiringOS, so you always know what's happened and what's next.
Clarity on the role, before anything starts
We help you work out what the role really needs, how to attract the right people and where to find them. It's all in your Hiring Kit, and nothing starts until you approve it.
Hiring Kit in 1 business day
Screened candidates, with why each one fits
We phone-screen candidates before you see them, send each with a short summary of why they fit, and arrange the interviews.
Interviews arranged within 1 business day
A weekly check against your goal
Every week we review the search against what you set out to hire, and recommend changes if it drifts.
Every week
Through the offer and the first month
We talk your candidate through your offer, confirm their first day, and check in with you both at 30 days.
Offer conversation within 1 business day
Every step in one place
HiringOS guides you through your hire: what's happened, what's next and what you need to decide. Your candidates, interviews and our promises are all on your job.
Track your job in real time
With HR, or without
You have an HR team
We become an extension of HR's recruiting function. We take on the recruiting for your role, so HR gets the extra capacity.
You don't have HR
We act as your hiring team, from understanding the role to the offer conversation and your 30-day check-in.
We're here to bring simplicity, clarity and ownership to your hiring, not another layer for you to manage.
Sound familiar?
If you're saying any of these, we can help.
- “I don't have a recruiter, and this hire is eating my week.”
- “My job posts get applicants, just not the right ones.”
- “The people I need aren't even looking.”
- “I want to see the plan before I pay.”
- “I've been burned before: no updates, ghosted candidates, a pile of résumés.”
