Why Manual Screening Doesn't Scale

You're the CEO, CTO, and Recruiter

As a founder, every hour you spend reading unqualified resumes is an hour you're not building product, closing customers, or raising capital. The opportunity cost is enormous.

Recruiting Agencies Are Expensive

A typical agency charges 20-25% of the first year's salary. For a $120K engineer, that's $24,000-$30,000 per hire. Most early-stage startups simply can't afford that.

Bad Early Hires Are Devastating

Your first 10 hires define your company culture and trajectory. One wrong hire at the seed stage can set you back months. You need to be rigorous, but you don't have the time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this really cheaper than a recruiter?

By orders of magnitude: a typical recruiter charges $20,000+ per hire. With our Squire plan at $9/month, you can screen 1,000 candidates for less than a penny each.

I'm non-technical. Can I still use this?

Yes! The web interface requires zero technical knowledge. Just paste your job description, upload resumes, and read the results. No coding, no API keys, no setup.

What if I only have 5 resumes?

That's perfectly fine. There is no minimum. Every account includes free monthly usage on the Page plan, and you can upgrade to Squire for $9/month to screen up to 1,000 resumes with metered overage at just $0.01 per additional candidate.

Can I try it before buying credits?

Yes. Every new account starts on our free Page plan with 30 free screenings per month, letting you test the full candidate analysis workflow before choosing a paid tier.
