Hire on the same graph as the rest of your business.
Public job pages, a candidate pipeline, immutable scorecards, and resumes — a local-first applicant tracking system where candidates ARE people in your one directory.
Append-only pipeline
Move a candidate through the pipeline in one honest transaction.
Drag a candidate from Screen to Interview and Excellent closes the old stage row, opens the next, updates status, and writes an activity — all in one transaction. The pipeline is a history, not a status column you overwrite.
One record, every surface
Hire someone and they're already in your directory.
A candidate is a person, a resume is an attachment, an interview note is a note — the same primitives as everywhere else. Dana Ruiz is a candidate here and a lead in Customers because she's one record, not three copies that quietly drift apart.
A real audit trail
Submitted scorecards lock — the hiring record can't be edited after the fact.
Structured interview scorecards are editable while you write them and immutable the moment you submit. Once submitted_at is set, the record freezes — so a hiring decision rests on what the interviewer actually said, not on what got tidied up later.
A clean front door
Public apply pages that keep the pipeline clean on their own.
Post a job to a public page with an apply form. Excellent enforces one application per (job, person), rate-limits public applies to five per IP per hour, and drops bot submissions with a honeypot — so what lands in your pipeline is real, deduplicated, and yours.
Your ATS isn't a separate database.
A candidate is a person, a resume is an attachment, an interview note is a note — the same primitives as everywhere else. When you hire someone, they're already in your directory.
