Put a bot on your hiring.
An AI recruiting teammate for small startups, with a computer of its own.
It writes the job post, builds the sourcing list, sets up interviews and keeps track of every candidate. Nothing goes to a candidate without your yes.
@Talent set up first calls with the five people we shortlisted. 30 minutes, next week, with me.
Checked your calendar and found six open slots next week. An email to each of the five is drafted with two slots each, and each one mentions the project that got them on the list.
Good. Send them.
Works in the tools your recruiting team already uses, on the Claude or ChatGPT plan you already have
The hiring work that slips behind everything else.
You own who gets hired and how they’re treated. The bot takes the writing, the searching and the scheduling, and gives you back the call.
Job posts
Writes the post from your notes in plain words, with what the person will actually do in their first six months.
Write the backend job post from my notes, no buzzwordsSourcing lists
Looks people up in its own browser, on GitHub, blogs and talks, and puts them in a sheet with links and a line on fit.
Find 20 people who’ve written about Postgres at scaleInterview scheduling
Finds open slots on the team’s calendars, drafts the invites and books the time once the candidate picks one.
Set up first calls with this week’s shortlistInterview kits
Writes the questions and a scorecard for each stage as a Word doc, so every interviewer asks about the same things.
Make a scorecard for the system design roundThe pipeline
Keeps the hiring sheet current, chases interviewers for their feedback, and tells you who’s been waiting too long.
Who’s waiting on us, and for how long?Onboarding
Builds the first-week checklist and the accounts list from how your team works, so the new hire isn’t waiting on Monday.

Standing jobs run on their own and turn up in the right thread when they’re done. It keeps notes on how you like things, so you only say it once.
- On a schedule. Daily, weekly or once. The result lands in the thread or the Slack channel you pick.
- Remembers how you work. Tell it once. It keeps notes, and you can read and edit every one.
- Every job is a thread. What was asked, what it did and what came back, kept together.
It does the looking itself.
Your recruiting bot has a real browser, so it reads the GitHub profiles, the blog posts and the conference talks, and writes down what it found. You can watch, or take the wheel.
- Watch it live. See the page it’s on and what it’s pointing at, as it works.
- Take the wheel. Take over to sign in or show it the way, then hand it back.
- Files everyone can open. What it makes lands in Drive, next to the thread that asked for it.
- Searched GitHub for Postgres replication work
- Read 38 profiles and their top repos
- Kept 14 with recent, relevant commits
- Added them to Sourcing list.xlsx with links
Before and after the bot.
- The job post has been “almost done” for two weeks
- The candidate list lives in your notes app
- Ten emails to book one interview
- Feedback comes in days late, or never
- The new hire spends day one waiting for logins
- A draft post the same afternoon
- A sheet of people with links and a reason each
- Slots offered and booked from your calendar
- Interviewers chased until the scorecard is in
- A first-week plan ready before they start
Nothing goes out without your yes.
A message to a candidate speaks for your company, and you can’t unsend it. So the bot drafts, and you decide who hears from you and what they hear.

What recruiting teams ask first.
What’s the best AI recruiting assistant for a startup?
One that does the prep and leaves you the decisions. In Caret (caretbot.com) a recruiting bot has a written job, its own computer and a browser, and it works in your team’s threads and in Slack. It asks before it contacts a candidate.
Will an AI recruiting bot message candidates on its own?
No. Sending is one of the actions where it asks first. Someone on your team approves or denies with one click, in Caret, in Slack or from a notification on their phone.
Can AI help with sourcing candidates?
Yes. It searches GitHub, blogs and talks in its own browser, and puts the people it finds in a sheet with links and a line on why each one fits. You pick who to contact.
Can it schedule interviews?
With your calendar connected, it finds open slots, drafts the invites and books the time once the candidate replies. The invites wait for your yes before they go out.
How much does it cost?
Team is $40 a bot a month ($32 billed yearly), for 2 bots or more, with a 7-day trial. Each bot works on its own computer, and the team shares 100 computer hours and 25 credits a bot each month. Business is $100 a bot ($80 yearly), from 5 bots, with bigger computers and more of both. Business Plus is $200 a bot with 160 credits a bot. People are free: invite your whole team.
