Before and after 100Hires

What a small business hiring team gets back when AI does the busywork.

Before 100Hires

  • Reading 200 resumes by hand to find 5 worth interviewing - a lost day; the best candidate gets overlooked
  • Posting to 13 different job boards one-by-one, then guessing which one delivered each candidate
  • Hours hunting for personal emails of LinkedIn candidates - then outreach lands in spam anyway
  • 25 minutes per candidate reading notes, emails, and researching what each previous company actually does
  • Pipeline lives in your head; interviewers, recruiters, and hiring managers work in 3 different tools
  • Hours of "what time works for you?" + chasing interviewers for scorecards days after the call
  • Generic rejection emails (or none) hurt your brand; candidates wait days for replies and accept somewhere else
  • Hiring in 5 cities means managing 5 separate jobs and 5 separate pipelines
  • Paying $5K and waiting 6 weeks for an agency to build a basic careers page
  • Building custom workflows from scratch every time the team needs a new automation or report

With 100Hires

  • AI scores every applicant 0-100 the moment they apply - you only review the top 10
  • One click posts to all major boards; real-time dashboard shows which board, recruiter, or stage actually performs
  • Built-in waterfall of 7 contact finders gets 37% more personal emails; warmup keeps them in primary inbox
  • AI Copilot reads everything and researches each candidate's previous companies; delivers a detailed report and hire-or-pass recommendation in 5 seconds
  • Custom Kanban pipeline + shared scorecards keep your whole hiring team aligned on the same record
  • Self-scheduling links book interviews in 30 sec; AI joins the call, takes notes, fills scorecards automatically
  • AI drafts personalized rejection emails for every candidate; automated stage emails reply in minutes, not days
  • One job auto-replicates to 20+ cities with localized titles, descriptions, and salary ranges
  • Branded career page goes live in 10 minutes, fully customizable, no developer required
  • Connect Claude Code, Codex, Cursor (or any AI agent) via our MCP server and run bulk hiring in plain English
