Build an Applicant Tracking System for Startups
Track every candidate, run founder screens, and move fast without spreadsheets. Launch a custom hiring pipeline with Kleap. Free to start.
A working app, not a template
Early-stage teams hire in bursts, often with a founder screening every applicant between shipping product. A shared candidate database keeps every résumé, note, and pipeline stage in one place so nothing slips while you scale from your first hire to your tenth. When speed is the whole advantage, a lightweight tracker beats a tangle of inboxes and forwarded spreadsheets.
What your startups app handles
Add a pipeline stage for the founder screen — early hires usually need a quick culture-and-mission call before any formal interview round.
Capture salary and equity expectations as fields on each candidate record so compensation conversations never stall an offer at the last minute.
Tag candidates by the roles they could flex into; startup hires wear several hats, and a filter on skills helps you re-surface strong near-misses later.
Use a shared notes field so co-founders and early employees leave interview feedback on the same record instead of scattered across Slack threads.
