For startups
Decide what good looks like before the applicants arrive
The first engineering hires set the bar for everyone after them, and they are usually made by a founder between two other jobs. Write the rubric down once and every applicant gets measured against it — including the ones who apply at 2am on a Sunday.
The rubric is the product
HyreTech drafts criteria, weights and a minimum score from your job description. Every one of them is yours to edit before the first applicant is scored.
Founding Engineer
Drafted from your job description
Every applicant for this role is scored against these same weights.
Illustrative — your criteria, your weights
What changes
No recruiter in the loop
Post the role, collect applicants on your own page, and read a ranked list. The whole loop runs without an agency retainer.
Consistent from applicant 1 to 300
The rubric does not get tired at 9pm. The last applicant is measured the same way as the first.
A written record
Six months later, when someone asks why you hired who you hired, the reasoning is still attached to the scorecard.
Start at zero cost
The Free plan covers one active role with 20 credits, and you can top up rather than upgrade if you only hire twice a year.
