For startups and scale-ups

Your next engineer is already in the platform. Stop scheduling 6 phone screens.

Startups can't afford 30-day interview loops for junior hires. InTransparency shows the code, the projects, and normalized grades before the first call. Decide on data, skip the "intro chats", close in 5 days instead of 5 weeks.

We connect people and values.

Classic loop vs "see-the-work" flow

Classic hiring loop

  • 30+ CVs from a LinkedIn post, no smart screening
  • 30-min intro call — candidate explains what the CV doesn't say
  • Tech interview by a founder who should be building product
  • Take-home test where the candidate disappears or cheats
  • Offer goes to whoever interviewed best, not whoever builds best

"See-the-work" flow with InTransparency

  • 5-10 verified candidates with public projects filtered by stack
  • No intro call: read the Decision Pack in 10 minutes from the browser
  • Skip the tech interview if they've shipped equivalent code
  • No take-home: their GitHub repo and academic projects are already there
  • Offer based on evidence, not on self-presentation skills

What you get on day one

Pre-verified pool

Profiles with skills extracted by AI from real artifacts (code, design, papers). Optional professor endorsement as a bonus signal. Grades normalized across EU systems.

In practice: Search like "React + TypeScript + GraphQL experience" — see the code before the CV.

See it in action

Code lives in the profile

For engineering roles: GitHub repos, university projects, hackathon deliverables. No more 'send me your projects by email' — they're already there, already contextualized with the course grade.

In practice: Student profile exposes repos + languages + commit count. See /explore.

Conversational Smart Search

Describe the candidate in natural language ("founding engineer, Postgres + Rust experience, OK Berlin or remote, first job ok"). The AI gets it and explains every match.

In practice: Try it on /demo/ai-search — no filters, no boolean search.

See it in action

Async-first screening

Decision Pack downloadable per candidate — portfolio, grades, projects, (opt.) personality in one PDF. Read it at 11pm after the prod fix, decide in the morning.

In practice: PDF/JSON export — share with your co-founder via Slack, no InTransparency account needed.

AI hiring advisor for founders without HR

When you're hiring without a recruiter, a conversational advisor helps you reason through the call: who to interview, how to weigh evidence, what to ask. The candidate's verified record is the context.

In practice: Ask "should I interview Marco for founding engineer?" — get a reasoned answer that cites the evidence.

Pricing built for pre-seed → Series A

Browse free. 5 free contacts/month (2 with personal email). €89/mo or €890/yr only when you scale past. No setup fee, no minimum, no lock-in. Cancel from console when the round closes.

In practice: See /pricing — automatic VAT collection for Italian startups.

Optional ATS bridge

Already on Greenhouse / Lever / Ashby? When you go from 5 to 50 employees, the ATS bridge ships shortlists to your ATS via webhook. Optional add-on, no setup fee — see /pricing.

In practice: Webhook events: match.created, credential.issued. See /integrations.

Built for the people who actually hire, in startups

Founder / CEO

One bad hire on a 5-person team = 20% of the company. You need to see the work before risking €60k/yr + equity.

CTO / Tech lead

You want to stop running phone screens. You want code you've already read before scheduling the interview. The platform gets you there in 10 minutes.

First head-of-people

You're the first HR person on the team. You need a workflow that scales from 1 to 30 hires/year without running an RFP for an ATS.
