Goodfit interviews your applicants so founders don’t have to
Goodfit interviews every applicant for you and sends a score with the transcript. Founders only meet the people who did well. After the hire, Goodfit trains your first sales and support hires and calls new people at day 30. You pay per assessment, with no seats and no yearly contract.

Why hiring is hard for a small startup
Most startups have no recruiter yet. The founders read every resume themselves, between sales calls, product work and fundraising. One bad hire hurts a 20-person team far more than a 200-person one. Most hiring software is sold to large companies on yearly contracts, which does not fit a team that hires in bursts.

Live transcript
Your resume says you owned the backlog at Brightline. How did you decide what to build first?
I ranked the backlog by how many paying customers asked for each item.
Follow-up
What did you do when one big customer wanted something nobody else asked for?
I showed them the ranking and gave them a date for the next review.
Tests
Add a skill test or coding test after the interview
Pick a test from the library or write your own questions. Each candidate gets a different mix from a question pool. Engineers write and run code against hidden test cases.
Product sense test
Question 3 of 10
Weekly active users fell 12% the week after a release. What do you check first?
- Whether tracking broke in the release
- Which marketing campaigns ended that week
- Survey users who stopped logging in
- Roll back the release right away
Any role
The AI can interview for roles your founders don’t know well
Two founders can’t run a deep interview for a backend engineer, a designer and a sales rep in the same week. Goodfit has ready-made questions for engineering, product, design, sales and support roles. You can edit them or write your own.

How would you stop two workers from charging the same order twice?
I would send an idempotency key with each charge request.
Follow-up
Where would you store the key, and for how long?
In Postgres with a unique index, kept for 24 hours.

Train
Your first sales hires practice calls with AI roleplay
Goodfit plays a doubtful buyer on a practice call. Your new rep runs the call out loud and gets a score out of 10 on each skill. Founders do not have to play the customer for every new hire.

Your tool looks fine, but the other vendor is half the price.
Fair question. What did their quote include for setup and support?
Pushback
I do not know. I just need a number my boss will sign.
Then let me send a one-page cost comparison you can forward today.

Goodfit calls each new hire at day 30
Early hires often stay quiet when something is wrong. Goodfit phones each one at day 30, or any milestone you set, and asks how it is going. You get each person’s plan to stay and the reason, in their own words.

Customer story · Zoko
Zoko is a software startup with one person running hiring. Each job post drew 600 to 1,000 applications in a week. Goodfit now runs the first-round interview. Shortlisting takes about 1 day instead of 10, and time to hire fell from 4 to 6 weeks to 2 to 4 weeks.
“Earlier, I had to go through every single resume manually. Now, I just look at candidates who've completed the AI round. If a thousand people apply, only 20 or 30 actually do the interview, and those are the ones worth speaking to.”
