Built for founders hiring 1–3 critical roles — with precision.
recruitRyte is a conversational search + reasoning-based shortlisting engine. It helps you surface Ryte-fit candidates faster — without drowning in volume.
Who this is for
Founder-led hiring where fit is nuanced and the cost of a miss is real.
Seed–Series B founders
Hiring core team members who directly shape product, velocity, and culture.
Founders hiring leaders
First Eng/Product/GTM leaders or a senior IC who sets the bar.
Outbound sourcing founders
You search, message, and build candidate relationships directly.
Founders who want clarity
Prefer a ranked shortlist with reasoning — not endless filtering.
Key outcomes
Founders don’t need more profiles — they need higher confidence decisions.
Better signal, fewer profiles
A shortlist you can actually review — without wasting nights on noise.
Reasoning-based screening
Contextual fit checks across role, domain, seniority, and trajectory — beyond keywords.
Faster path to outreach
Identify the right targets quickly and move to messaging while momentum is high.
Clear tradeoffs
Stage fit, startup pace vs bigco background, domain adjacency — surfaced explicitly.
How it works
A simple founder workflow: describe → shortlist → share.
Conversational search
Describe the role in plain English — must-haves, nice-to-haves, constraints, and context. recruitRyte expands titles, companies, and adjacent profiles.
Reasoning-based shortlist
Candidates are ranked using reasoning and fit signals — with a defensible explanation of why.
Share the shortlist
Share a clean shortlist to co-founders, advisors, or interview loops — so everyone aligns fast.
Founder-specific subjective questions
Add your own questions to guide ranking — especially for nuance that resumes don’t capture.
Why this matters
Critical hires aren’t just about “skills.” They’re about pace, ownership, ambiguity tolerance, and stage fit. Your questions help recruitRyte prioritize candidates the way you would.
These questions directly influence ranking and shortlist quality.
