I made a bad hire because I was winging the process.
Different questions every time. No real scorecard. No consistent way to compare candidates. Too much gut feel.
That pushed me to look deeper into structured interviews, and the more I read, the more obvious it became: they work better, but most hiring tools are built for companies with HR teams and established recruiting processes.
A lot of founders and small teams do not have that. They still need to hire well.
That is why I built HireReady.
You define the role, it generates a structured interview kit and scorecard, and helps you run a more consistent process without building everything from scratch.
We are still early, and I am looking for 5 to 10 founders or small teams who are hiring now, or about to hire, and want to try a more structured approach.
Free during early access. I just want honest feedback.
Curious how others here are handling hiring today:
spreadsheets, Notion, an ATS, pure instinct, or something else?
And what has actually been harder for you:
finding candidates, running interviews, or deciding who to hire?
