Pitch N Hire for Founders

What founders & startups struggle with

• ▸No dedicated recruiter, so hiring falls on a founder who's already stretched thin
• ▸Limited or zero budget for recruiting tools and agencies at the early stage
• ▸Competing for talent against companies with bigger comp and brand recognition
• ▸Hard-to-define generalist roles that make screening criteria fuzzy
• ▸Slow, ad-hoc processes that lose great candidates to faster-moving offers

How can a founder hire well without a recruiter?

Pitch N Hire automates the work a recruiter normally does. AI screening and resume parsing rank inbound applicants against the role so a founder reviews a shortlist, not hundreds of resumes. Async AI video interviews via Intuvos let candidates answer structured questions on their own time with consistent scoring you check between investor calls and product work. Gmail, Outlook, and calendar integrations keep scheduling inside the tools you already use.

Can a startup run real hiring on the free tier?

Yes. The 1-user-forever free plan lets a solo founder post roles, parse and rank applicants, source through the Chrome extension, build a talent pool, and run structured interviews at no cost, with no credit card required. The same workflow scales as you add teammates and open more roles, so the process you start with on day one is the one you grow into, rather than a stopgap you replace later.

How do founders screen for versatile generalists?

Early-stage roles are broad, which makes them hard to screen. With Pitch N Hire you define structured interview questions that probe ownership, adaptability, and breadth, then apply the same rubric to every candidate through async video. AI screening surfaces signal beyond keyword matching, and OnJob.io sourcing helps reach builders who aren't actively applying, producing a defensible shortlist for ambiguous roles instead of a gut read after a rushed call.

How do startups hire fast enough to win candidates?

Speed is a startup's edge, and a slow process throws it away. Pitch N Hire compresses the funnel: AI ranks applicants the moment they apply, async interviews remove first-round scheduling delays, and automation moves candidates between stages without manual chasing. You can extend an offer while a larger competitor is still booking its first phone screen, turning your nimbleness into a genuine hiring advantage rather than a liability.
