Reading 200 resumes is a fine hobby. It's a terrible use of a CEO.

You post a role and the applications pour in. Half are copy-pasted. You spend a week of evenings sorting, interviewing and testing. Then the one you hire is gone by week three, and you're back at the job post.

A business owner reviewing applications on a laptop late in the evening — Most owners do their hiring after hours.

What's eating your week right now?

Following up with leads. And our CRM is a mess.

Which CRM? And when a new lead comes in, how fast does someone reply today?

HubSpot. Honestly, sometimes the next day.

That's a sales support role. Here's your brief. Did I get it right?

Day 30 goal: No lead waits more than an hour
Tasks: Lead follow-up, booking calls, CRM cleanup

We don't sell the cheapest operator. We sell the one you won't have to replace.

You can find someone for $5 an hour. You'll also find yourself rewriting their work, answering their questions, and posting the job again in six weeks. Our rates sit above the bargain bin and well below a US hire, because that's where reliable people are.

No tiers to pick. Your role brief recommends the level the work actually needs.

We've hired the person who disappeared, too.

We ran agencies before we built this. We tried freelance sites, agencies that oversold, and placement services that made an introduction and walked away. So we built a screen we'd trust with our own business, and we stand behind every hire it produces.

“We'd burned through two freelancers in six months. The short list had three people who already knew HubSpot, and the one we hired was running our lead follow-up in her first week.”

Questions owners ask first

Do I need to write a job description?+

No. Orla, our AI hiring partner, or our team asks the questions and writes the role brief for you. You approve it before we screen anyone.

Who is Orla?+

Orla is our AI hiring partner. She runs the role interview with you, screens operators with written questions and video answers, and drafts your short list. A person on our team checks and approves every step before anything reaches you.

How does the AI intake work?+

You chat with Orla for a few minutes about what's eating your week. She asks one question at a time, then writes your role brief: tasks, tools, 30-day goal, hours and overlap. You approve it or ask for changes.

What time zones do operators cover?+

Our first operator pool is in Pakistan (PKT, GMT+5). Many operators work US and Canadian business hours, and every brief sets the hours of overlap you need. We only short list people who can cover them.

Why aren't you the cheapest?+

Cheap hires cost you in redo work, re-explaining and re-hiring. We price for people who pass a real skills test on your tools, and that's still well below a US hire.
