Why I Built HireLikeaPro

Most founders I've worked with are smart people making avoidable hiring mistakes.

Not because they don't care. Because no one gave them a framework.

They post a job that sounds like it was written for a company ten times their size. They interview by instinct. They pick whoever felt best in the room. Then six months later they're doing it all again.

I've hired across 70+ countries. I've seen what structured hiring does to a team's trajectory. The founders who define success criteria before they interview, who score every candidate on the same competencies, who debrief on evidence not impressions — they make better hires. Faster. With less regret.

HireLikeaPro is my attempt to give every founder that framework. Free. No paywall. No consulting engagement required.

If you're making your first critical hire and want to do it right, this is what I'd use.
