MATCHBOX —
HIRING OS
The operating system, built for start-ups, by recruiters.
Replacing resume-led hiring with signal, intelligence, and recruiter expertise.
How Matchbox works
Role Scoping
Define what "good" actually looks like before you hire.
Our AI scoping agent helps founders clarify role scope, trade-offs, and success criteria, so you don't waste months searching for the wrong profile.
AI-Powered Pre-Screening
Filter before founder time is spent.
Short, AI-led candidate screens surface how people think, what they've owned, and how they operate, replacing low-signal first interviews.
Signal-Driven Candidate Profiles
See real fit, not just resumes.
Matchbox highlights judgment, trajectory, ownership, and stage-fit, giving you decision-ready signal instead of keyword noise.

On-Demand Expert Recruiters
Extra help, only when you need it.
Access a vetted network of startup-native, domain-expert recruiters. No retainers. No lock-in. Fully contingent.
Because bad hiring decisions
aren't just expensive —
they compound.
Every wrong hire sets you back 6-12 months. Not just in salary, but in momentum, morale, and opportunity cost. Your first 10 hires define your company's DNA. Get them right.
"The team's building a terrific product and has thought very deeply about the experience and challenges of early-stage hiring."
