What Recruitment & HR Businesses Can Expect

We measure success by real business outcomes, not feature lists. For recruitment & hr businesses, the key metrics are:

Time to fill: We set up tracking from day one so you can see the impact in real numbers.

Tech adoption in recruitment & hr is at the high level. Recruitment & HR is already a tech-savvy industry. The businesses that stand out are the ones with custom tools built specifically for their operations, not the ones using the same platforms as everyone else.

Typical investment: $1500-4000. Most recruitment & hr clients see measurable ROI within the first month.

How We Work with Recruitment & HR Clients

Discovery. You tell us about your recruitment & hr business: what is working, what is not, and what you wish you had. We ask about your current tools, team size, and daily workflows.

Scoping and quote. We define exactly what we will build and send you a fixed-price quote. No hourly rates. For recruitment & hr projects, this usually falls within $1500-4000.

Build. We build your solution, typically within 1 day to ongoing. You talk directly to our founder and lead engineer. No project managers or middlemen.

Launch and handover. We deploy, walk your team through everything, and provide ongoing support. You own all the code and data.
