Is Screenr really free for startups?

Yes. Screenr offers a generous free tier that includes AI resume screening, candidate ranking, and basic verification. It's designed for early-stage startups that need to hire smartly without enterprise software budgets.

How is Screenr different from a traditional ATS?

Traditional ATS tools are built for large enterprises — they're expensive, complex, and rely on keyword matching. Screenr is an AI-first hiring tool that screens, verifies, and ranks candidates automatically. It's the ATS alternative built for speed and simplicity.

Can Screenr replace my ATS?

For most startups and small teams, yes. Screenr handles job posting, candidate collection, AI screening, verification, engagement, and ranking — all the core functions of an ATS plus intelligent screening that traditional ATS tools don't offer.

How long does it take to set up?

Under 5 minutes. Create your account, post your first job, and share the application link. Screenr's AI starts processing candidates the moment they apply.

Do I need an HR team to use Screenr?

No. Screenr is designed for founders, CTOs, and hiring managers who don't have a dedicated HR team. The AI handles the screening work that would normally require an HR professional.

What if I'm hiring for multiple roles?

Screenr supports multiple job postings simultaneously. Each role gets its own application link, screening criteria, and ranked candidate list.

How does pricing work as we scale?

Screenr grows with you. Start on the free tier, and upgrade when you need more volume or advanced features. There are no long-term contracts or setup fees.

THE PROBLEM

Startup hiring is broken

You're competing for talent with companies that have 10x your resources.

No budget for enterprise ATS

Traditional ATS tools cost $5,000–$25,000/year. That's a full engineering salary at an early-stage startup.

No dedicated HR team

Founders and CTOs are screening resumes between product meetings. Every hour spent hiring is an hour not building.

Speed is everything

Top candidates accept offers within 10 days. If your screening process takes 2 weeks, you're already too late.
