FoundersAreHiring: Rethinking Startup Recruitment

FoundersAreHiring: Rethinking Startup Recruitment

Why FoundersAreHiring Exists

The startup hiring process is broken. Traditional job boards are cluttered, recruiter-driven, and overloaded with noise. Resumes are keyword-stuffed, cultural fit is impossible to assess, and early-stage founders waste hours sifting through irrelevant applicants.

FoundersAreHiring (fah.) was built to fix this. It's a global, AI-powered hiring platform that connects founders directly with vetted talent—no recruiters, no noise, just clarity and speed. It’s founder-led, culture-first, and designed for impact.

“Hiring your first 25–30 people determines your startup’s DNA. You don’t outsource that.”
— Pratik Deo, Hiring Strategist
