Why AppliedHire
Built for AI hiring, not generic job search.
Post AI jobs that attract the right candidates, not 200 wrong ones.
Turn messy hiring needs into structured role briefs and scorecards.
Know why a candidate may fit before you spend an hour interviewing them.
Fit signals show skills, tools, seniority, proof sources, and gaps to validate.
No sales calls. No placement fee. Post a founding-employer role for free.
Optional paid shortlist support stays separate from the free launch post.
Stop guessing what AI role you actually need to hire.
Five role families. Structured taxonomy. Clearer vocabulary for you and your candidates.
Cost clarity
Post a clearer AI role without a placement fee.
AppliedHire is built for founding employers who want a self-serve path: structure the role, publish it for free during controlled launch, and review fit signals before scheduling interviews.
Often priced as a percentage of first-year compensation.
Useful for high-touch hiring, but less self-serve for first AI roles.
Lower upfront cost, but AI role clarity is usually one category among many.
Role brief first
Describe the business problem. AppliedHire turns it into a role brief.
The product value is not a generic posting form. It is a structured brief, scorecard, and review path that helps employers see what kind of AI talent they actually need.

Starter project
Start with one AI automation project.
A 2-4 week default path helps founding employers begin with practical work: lead intake, CRM updates, and follow-up draft automation.
Lead intake is captured and routed cleanly.
CRM updates are documented and reviewable.
Follow-up drafts are generated for human review.
Sensitive-data access is limited to what the project requires.
The handoff includes docs, owner notes, and a time-savings baseline.
Candidate supply
Review supply expectations before paid support.
During controlled launch, AppliedHire explains candidate availability with current, role-specific signals rather than broad marketplace counts.
AppliedHire checks whether current profiles or active sourcing support the selected role family.
Keep stale or incomplete profiles out of paid-support expectations until they are refreshed.
Separate candidate interest by work model so employers do not infer broad supply from a narrow pool.
Use profile-complete, examples reviewed, and AppliedHire reviewed labels instead of deep-vetting claims.
Trust and signal
Transparent launch. Clearly labeled signal.
Anonymized pilot evidenceUse role briefs, shortlist notes, and workflow examples without naming employers or candidates.
Example content labeledSample roles and fit signals stay marked as examples until backed by controlled-launch data.
Claim register requiredPublic metrics need source, date range, sample size, methodology, and review owner.
Free-first launchFounding employers can post a structured role for free. Optional paid support is scoped separately.
