Why founders lose so much time to hiring
Every hour on phone screens is an hour away from customers and the product. A wrong early hire can set you back months. You need a tool you can set up in one sitting. It should ask good follow-up questions and cost nothing when you are not hiring.

AI interview
The AI reads the resume and asks about it
Before the call, the AI reads each resume. It asks about what the candidate wrote and follows up when an answer is vague. Candidates can take the interview at 11 PM, when it suits them.

Live transcript
From the resume
Your resume says you cut API response time by half. What did you change?
We cached the pricing lookups in Redis and removed two database calls per request.
Follow-up
How did you keep the cached prices from going stale?
Coding test
Add a coding test with hidden test cases
For engineering roles, add a coding test after the interview. Candidates write and run code in a browser editor. Hidden test cases check the edge cases they did not see.

Customer story · Zoko
At Zoko, one person ran all hiring. Each job post drew up to 1,000 applications. Goodfit now runs the first-round interview and Zoko uses it as its ATS. Only candidates who finish the interview move on.
“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.”
