Description

You’ve Helped Founders Build Great Teams. Now Lead the Company That Redefines Hiring.

You’ve felt it. Maybe from inside a fast-scaling team, maybe from building a product that sells into talent, or maybe just from hiring your own team and knowing how off-track things can go. The job description was vague. The team wasn’t aligned. The candidate was solid, but somehow the hire didn’t stick.

Now the market is flooded with AI tools promising faster recruiting, better matches, and smarter filtering. But most of them are piling on noise, not clarity. They optimize a process that was broken to begin with, and in doing so, often make it worse for candidates and companies alike.

Hiroic is different.
It doesn’t start with resumes. It starts with the one thing that’s almost always missing: a shared, precise understanding of the role itself.

Hiroic is your AI hiring expert.
It aligns teams early, defines roles with clarity, and replaces chaos with confidence. It’s the pre-ATS layer. The expert that lives upstream of every other hiring tool. And it’s being launched with traction, investment, and the backing of both a top-tier staffing company and 19days, the venture studio arm of Gitwit.

The prototype is live and already being tested with early users and design partners. And the first time a hiring manager sees Hiroic turn a messy role conversation into a crystal-clear scorecard they get it. This isn't a theory. The product works. Demand is real. The studio is backing it. Now it needs a builder to take it forward.

Nearly half of all new hires fail within 18 months, not because they’re unqualified, but because the role was never clearly defined to begin with. This is your chance to fix hiring at the source. And while Hiroic starts at the beginning of hiring, that’s exactly what gives it the right to transform the rest.

By keeping hiring managers and teams aligned throughout the process from definition to interview to decision, Hiroic doesn’t just solve one part of hiring. It unlocks a smarter, end-to-end model for how knowledge workers get hired.
