An affordable ATS for startup hiring
Startups usually hire before they have anyone in HR. The founder runs interviews, a few engineers give feedback, and candidates live in a spreadsheet. That works until the second or third open role.
Running hiring without HR software
You can go a long way with a simple routine:
- One list of candidates per role with a clear stage column
- A fixed scorecard for each interview so feedback is comparable
- A 48-hour rule for replying to every candidate
- A weekly 15-minute pipeline review
When to add an ATS
Add one when more than two people give interview feedback or you have more than one open role. RecruitFlow.io keeps the routine above but makes it shared, timestamped and harder to forget.
