For startups

  • Interview around the clock—no need to coordinate calendars with busy founders.
  • Get real signal on communication, problem solving, and culture add before investing more time.
  • Deliver a polished candidate experience that competes with larger companies.

First impressions handled

Every applicant gets a thoughtful conversation that reflects your brand, even before you have a full recruiting team.

Founders review curated shortlists with audio clips and notes, spending time only where it counts.

Scales with your growth

Startup hiring realities

  • Founders juggling fundraising, product, and customer support struggle to run consistent screens.
  • Hiring stalls when a key team member is unavailable for interviews.
  • Candidates expect a polished experience even from early-stage companies.
  • One wrong hire can derail momentum, so you need real evidence—not gut feel.

How Zivaro helps you win talent early

Automated interviews give startups leverage without lowering standards.

  • Configure your ideal opener, pitch, and evaluation criteria once; reuse them across roles.
  • Agents adapt to candidate answers, digging deeper into problem-solving or domain expertise.
  • Shortlists include strengths, risks, and suggested next questions so founders hit the ground running.
  • Integrations push decisions back into Notion, Airtable, or your ATS to keep the team in sync.
