Recruiting in 2026 is broken and nobody's talking about it

When you're a founder with a team of 5, hiring your 6th person is one of the most important decisions you'll make.

But here's what actually happens:

You post the job. 80 CVs land in your inbox over 3 days. You're also shipping a feature, handling a client escalation, and trying to close a deal.

By the time you get to the CVs, a week has passed.

You shortlist 12. Try to schedule calls. 4 don't reply. 3 reschedule. You end up speaking to 5 people in fragmented 30-minute slots between everything else you're doing.

And the best candidate? They already accepted an offer somewhere else.

This isn't a talent problem. It's a bandwidth problem.

Large companies have recruiters, HR teams, ATS systems, and dedicated interview panels. Small teams have a founder with a calendar that's already on fire.

The tools built for enterprise don't work for us. And spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads don't scale either.

We built Interviewkit.ai because I kept seeing this happen- to myself and to other founders.

The idea is simple: candidates get an AI interview link, complete it on their own time, and you get back a scored report telling you who's worth your next hour.

No scheduling. No back and forth. No losing great people to slow processes.

It's not about replacing the human decision. It's about protecting your time until the human decision actually matters.

If you're a small team hiring right now, I'd love for you to try it and tell me what's broken.
