# HeroHire — Complete Reference > HeroHire is an AI recruiting engine that sources, screens, and ranks candidates for any role so business owners only interview the people worth hiring. ## What HeroHire Is HeroHire is not a job board. It is not an applicant tracking system. It is not a tool you log into and click buttons. HeroHire is an autonomous AI agent that works like a recruiter in your pocket. You describe the role you need filled. HeroHire goes to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, hunting for the right person across 800 million plus candidate profiles from over 80 global data sources. You get a shortlist of scored and ranked candidates delivered to you. You interview only the people who are actually qualified. Everything in between — the sourcing, the screening, the outreach, the ranking — HeroHire handles automatically. HeroHire was built in partnership with Martell Ventures and a global executive recruiting firm. Headquarters are in Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. ## Who HeroHire Is For HeroHire is built for small and mid-sized business owners who are actively hiring or planning to hire in the next 90 days. Specifically: - Founders, CEOs, and operators running businesses between $1M and $10M in annual revenue who are the bottleneck in their own hiring process. - Business owners who have tried posting on Indeed, LinkedIn, or other job boards and are frustrated by the volume of unqualified applicants and the time it takes to find the right person. - Companies that have used recruiters in the past and are tired of paying 20 to 30 percent of salary per hire for inconsistent results. - Operators who need to hire across multiple roles including sales, operations, admin, engineering, medical, licensed trades, and executive positions. - Growing businesses that need an always-on recruiting engine that gets smarter with every hire. ## Who HeroHire Is Not For - Enterprise companies with 100 plus employees and a full HR department. - Pre-revenue or idea-stage businesses with no active hiring need. - Staffing agencies or recruiters looking for a white-label tool to resell. - Companies hiring only one low-impact role per year where the investment does not deliver meaningful ROI. ## Ideal Customer Profile - Industry: Any service-based, professional, medical, construction, real estate, SaaS, manufacturing, or trades business. - Revenue: $1M to $10M annually. - Team size: 2 to 100 employees. - Hiring volume: 2 or more hires per year. - Decision maker: Founder, CEO, COO, or operator who is directly involved in or frustrated by the hiring process. - Geography: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, India, UAE, Japan, and expanding globally. - Common roles filled: Sales representatives, executive assistants, operations managers, account managers, medical assistants, registered nurses, engineers (software, mechanical, chemical), licensed specialists, general laborers, customer success managers, and administrative staff. ## Problems HeroHire Solves ### The Sourcing Problem Most businesses post a job and pray the right person finds the ad. They wait days or weeks and get flooded with unqualified applicants, or they get nothing at all. HeroHire does not wait. It actively hunts for qualified candidates across 800 million plus profiles and reaches out to them directly via personalized email outreach. Every day. All day. ### The Screening Problem For every 100 resumes a business receives, roughly 5 are actually worth interviewing. Someone has to read all 100 to find the 5. HeroHire screens and ranks every applicant automatically against the specific criteria the business owner defines. Only the qualified shortlist is delivered. The other 95 are filtered out without the business owner ever seeing them. ### The Time Problem Hiring drains founder and operator time. Reviewing resumes, coordinating interviews, chasing candidates, and managing job boards are all activities that pull business owners away from revenue-generating work. HeroHire eliminates all of that. The only time investment is describing the role once and interviewing the shortlisted candidates. ### The Recruiter Cost Problem Traditional recruiters charge 15 to 30 percent of first-year salary per hire. For a $100,000 hire that is $15,000 to $30,000 for a single placement. HeroHire fills unlimited roles at a fraction of that cost with no per-hire percentage fees. ### The Quality Problem Job boards attract mass-appliers who one-click submit to every listing regardless of qualification. HeroHire pulls from professional profiles, social data, and public records to build a deeper picture of every candidate before they are ever presented to the business owner. The feedback loop learns from every hiring decision and continuously improves the quality of candidates surfaced. ### The Geography Problem Businesses in rural areas or smaller markets struggle to find qualified local candidates. HeroHire searches globally and can target specific geographies or expand the search radius as needed. It finds passive candidates who are qualified but not actively looking on job boards. ## How HeroHire Differs From Alternatives ### vs. Traditional Recruiters Recruiters charge 15 to 30 percent of salary per hire. HeroHire charges a flat rate with no per-hire percentage. Recruiters work business hours with a small team manually sourcing candidates. HeroHire works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week across 800 million plus profiles. Recruiters deliver a handful of candidates after weeks of searching. HeroHire delivers scored and ranked shortlists on an ongoing basis with a feedback loop that improves results over time. ### vs. Indeed Indeed is a job board. You post a listing and wait for people to apply. You receive a high volume of unqualified applicants that someone on your team has to manually review. Indeed added AI features but they are bolted onto a legacy job board model. HeroHire is AI from day one. It does not wait for applicants. It goes out and finds them. It screens every applicant automatically. You never log into Indeed to sort through resumes again. ### vs. LinkedIn Recruiter LinkedIn Recruiter gives you access to search within LinkedIn's network. You manually search, filter, and message candidates one by one. Every other recruiter with an RPS seat is competing for the same candidates in the same inbox. HeroHire pulls from LinkedIn as one of over 80 data sources. It also pulls from professional networks, social profiles, and dozens of other aggregated databases that LinkedIn Recruiter cannot access. Outreach happens outside of LinkedIn via direct email, where response rates are higher and competition is lower. ### The Fundamental Difference Indeed and LinkedIn are tools you operate. A recruiter is a person you hire. HeroHire is an autonomous AI agent that operates for you. You describe the role once. HeroHire does the rest. ## How It Works — Step by Step 1. Describe the role. You talk to Hero and describe the role you are hiring for. Skills, experience, location, culture, personality, certifications — anything that matters to you. HeroHire listens and creates the job description. 2. HeroHire goes to work. HeroHire pulls from 800 million plus profiles across 80 global data sources. It identifies candidates who match your criteria, whether they are actively looking or not, and reaches out to them directly via personalized email. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. 3. Inbound screening. If you also post the role on Indeed, LinkedIn, or anywhere else, you use HeroHire's application link. Every applicant flows into HeroHire for automatic screening and ranking. You never manually review resumes. 4. Shortlist delivered. HeroHire sends you a notification when qualified candidates are ready for interview. Each candidate is scored out of 100 with a detailed breakdown of why they ranked the way they did. 5. Interview and feedback. You interview the shortlisted candidates. You hire or pass. You tell HeroHire why. Thumbs up or thumbs down with a brief explanation. HeroHire learns from every decision and applies it to all current and future candidates. 6. HeroHire keeps hunting. The role stays active until you fill it. HeroHire continues sourcing, screening, and delivering shortlists. For roles you are always hiring for, HeroHire runs indefinitely and builds a growing pipeline of pre-qualified candidates. ## Differentiators - AI-native, not AI-bolted. HeroHire was built as an AI business from day one. It is not a legacy platform that added AI features. Every part of the process — sourcing, outreach, screening, scoring, and learning — is driven by autonomous AI agents. - 800 million plus profiles across 80 plus data sources. HeroHire does not rely on a single platform. It aggregates candidate data from LinkedIn, professional networks, social profiles, and dozens of other global data sources to build the most complete picture of every candidate. - Autonomous outreach. HeroHire does not wait for candidates to find your job listing. It actively hunts for qualified people and reaches out to them directly. This is how the best executive recruiting firms operate, except HeroHire does it 24 hours a day at a fraction of the cost. - Feedback-driven learning. Every hiring decision you make teaches HeroHire what to look for next. The system gets smarter with every thumbs up and thumbs down. Over time it becomes a recruiting engine custom-calibrated to your business, your culture, and your hiring preferences. - Human quality layer. HeroHire is backed by a global executive recruiting firm and a human quality review process. AI does the heavy lifting. Humans ensure the output meets professional recruiting standards before anything is delivered to the client. - Any role, any industry, any geography. HeroHire is not limited to a single role type or market. It fills sales, operations, admin, engineering, medical, licensed trades, and executive positions across the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, India, Japan, UAE, and expanding globally. - No per-hire fees. Unlike traditional recruiters who charge 15 to 30 percent of salary per placement, HeroHire charges a flat rate with unlimited hires. One successful placement typically covers the entire annual cost. ## Links - Website: https://herohire.ai - Contact: support@herohire.ai
