33 million small businesses in America hire without an HR department. The average bad hire costs $15,000+ to replace. HireForge gives every small business owner the tools of a seasoned HR professional — without the $200/hour consulting fee. From "we need someone" to "welcome aboard," it handles every step of the hiring funnel. ## What's included - **Job post generator** — turns a vague role description into a compelling, specific listing formatted for LinkedIn, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and local boards; includes screening questions that filter fast - **Resume screener + scorer** — paste any resume → RECOMMEND / MAYBE / SKIP verdict with 0-100 score, top strengths, key concerns, 3-5 targeted interview questions per candidate - **Interview guide builder** — structured behavioral, situational, technical, and culture-fit questions with evaluation rubrics; structured interviews are 3.6x more predictive of job success than gut feel - **Candidate comparison matrix** — side-by-side scoring of top finalists across 8 dimensions, weighted for your priorities; clear recommendation with confidence level - **Offer letter generator** — professional letters covering compensation, benefits, start date, at-will language; includes verbal offer script with negotiation guidance - **Rejection writer** — kind, professional emails that leave candidates with a positive impression — never the generic "we'll keep your resume on file" - **Reference check templates** — structured questions that surface red flags + verify claims - **30/60/90 onboarding plans** — for the new hire's first 90 days with weekly check-in agendas - **Persistent context** — stores company details, active openings, candidate pipeline across sessions; by your third hire, it knows your culture, salary ranges, and what you care about ## Limitations - **Not an ATS** — pairs with Greenhouse / Lever / BambooHR if you need full applicant tracking with team workflows - **Not a background check service** — pairs with Checkr / GoodHire for criminal + employment verification - **Not a payroll system** — generates offer letters; actual payroll runs through Gusto / QuickBooks / ADP - **Not legal counsel** — offer letter templates are starter language; equity grants, non-competes, executive contracts need an employment attorney - **U.S.-employment-law-focused** — EEOC, FLSA, at-will conventions; Canadian, UK, EU labor law differs ## Best fit Retail shops, restaurants, trades businesses, agencies, tech startups, professional services firms — any small business hiring 1-20 people per year without a dedicated HR team. Especially valuable for first-time hiring managers and founders making their 1st-10th hire — the structured interview rubric + comparison matrix alone typically prevents the most expensive small-business mistake (hiring on gut feel and replacing within 6 months), which at $15K-$30K per bad hire pays for the entire subscription many times over.
