Our promise

Free hire on us with $0 down.

Give us one open role. If you make a hire on it in the next 4 weeks, you pay nothing for it.

  • $0 down. No card. We do the setup.
  • 4 weeks on one open role, with a real person helping you.
  • Not happy at the week 4 review? Walk away. You owe nothing.
  • You keep your data and everything we built for you.
  • It never turns into a bill on its own.

Week 1 goal: every new applicant on your role hears back by text the same day, and your managers decide from the app they already use.

We start only 2 new teams each week, because a real person sets up each one. When this week is full, you start next week.

Your managers hire between shifts.

Frontline hiring teams tell us the same three things.

  1. 1

    Your managers are recruiters now. Nobody trained them.

    Most hires are made by site managers with a day job. The hiring system was built for head office. So the hiring lives in a spreadsheet, a whiteboard and someone's desktop.

    "our hiring managers in our hotels are basically recruiters. And we need to find a system that's very intuitive and works well for them."
    Head of talent, hotel group

    9 of 10 told us this

  2. 2

    Your candidates answer texts, not emails.

    Hourly candidates apply from a phone, often to three jobs at once. The first one to reply gets them. An email two days later reaches nobody.

    "they only respond to text and text is intermittent."
    Recruiting lead, home-services company

    6 of 10 told us this. Almost no other buyer did.

  3. 3

    Scheduling eats the day.

    Calls, reschedules, reminders, no-shows. Every hour spent booking interviews is an hour nobody is meeting candidates.

    "I waste, I think, three hours a day or two hours a day already from scheduling interviews."
    Recruiter, airline and hotel group

    7 of 10 told us this

Recruiters feel it too.

"We talk a lot in this industry about giving recruiters a seat at the table. Honestly, most of us just need fewer tabs."
Jen HulmeFreelance Talent Acquisition
"The recruiting tech stack has become its own full-time job."

The 5 things frontline hiring teams liked about Hivemind

From our calls with frontline hiring teams.

  1. 1

    Every reply in one inbox

    Texts, emails and LinkedIn messages from candidates land in one place. Anyone on the team can pick them up.

    "the potential is exactly the potential that we're looking for"
    Head of talent, hotel group
    Sample data
  2. 2

    The first screen runs itself

    A short phone screen or video question goes out the moment someone applies. They answer from their phone, any time of day. You see the ones who pass.

    "I like the fact that the flow is adjustable and like you say, can be edited"
    Programme lead, skills nonprofit
  3. 3

    Managers decide from Slack or Teams

    Your managers get a short card with the candidate and a yes or no button, in the app they already use. Nothing new to log into.

    "if you're gonna try to get all the hiring managers to use this, you're crazy."
    Recruiter, trades company
    Sample data
  4. 4

    Interviews book and remind themselves

    Candidates pick a slot from the manager's real calendar. Hivemind sends the reminders, waits when you want it to, and follows up when someone goes quiet.

    "we're calling them once and not following up with the good candidate."
    Sales manager, consumer call centre
    Sample data
  5. 5

    Find people and keep track of them

    Search for new people, and keep everyone you have met in one record with notes, so nobody gets called twice.

    "[Hivemind] is one of the only ones that actually have an ATS and a sourcing capability that makes sense."
    Recruiter, trades company
    Sample data

Quotes are from our calls with frontline hiring teams, 2025 and 2026. We keep their names private.

The Social Hub case study

The Social Hub runs hotels across Europe. It makes about 1,000 hires a year with a talent team of six, so hotel managers make 3 out of 4 hires themselves. Every hour in the hiring system was an hour away from guests. We took its numbers from our call and modeled what Hivemind changes.

  • 30 minutes

    of manager admin per hire

    down from 4.3 hours

  • 12 minutes

    to the first reply to an applicant

    down from 3.4 days

  • 16 days

    to hire

    down from 34

  • 12%

    of interviews missed

    down from 31%

  • 91 of 100

    applications finished on a phone

    up from 44

  • 1,010

    hires a year

    up from 850, same team of six

Same six people. 160 more hires. Managers back with guests.

In the model, about $240,000 a year saved and 2,680 manager hours back on the floor.

"we need our hiring managers or the recruitment ops to be on the floor, talk to our guest, and not work in an ATS, do manual chores"
Head of talent, The Social Hub, on our call

The Social Hub's before numbers are its own, from our call. The after numbers are our model of what Hivemind changes, not results yet.

Your managers stay in charge.

"You can't automate being human, so recruiters aren't going anywhere. But the chaos can leave."
Katrina CollierAuthor, The Robot-Proof Recruiter36K followers
"They made a deliberate choice: automate the data collection, never the judgment."

Good questions we hear.

"Our managers won't log into another system."

They don't have to. They get a yes or no card in Slack, Teams or email. We set it up and show them on day 0.

"We can't switch systems right now."

You don't switch. Hivemind runs one role next to what you have, and you pick the start date, so it never lands in your busy season.

"Will the AI turn down people who don't look good on paper?"

No. Nobody is turned down by a score unless you set it up that way. Screens ask about the job, not the resume, and a person sees every result.

"Tools like this charge extra for everything."

Texting, screens, scheduling and the inbox are all in your free hire, at $0. You get one real price on the call, before you start.

"Finance will ask why we need this."

Show them the calculator at the bottom of this page. It puts first screens in hours and dollars.

"We don't have time to set this up."

We do the setup. Your team joins one kickoff and training on day 0, then a short check-in each week.
