Hiring software that treats candidates like people.
evenloop is an ATS built for startups making their first real hires — where no candidate gets ghosted, AI surfaces strong fits instead of filtering people out, and every applicant always knows exactly where they stand.
We're building in the open and launching with a small group of early partners.
61% of candidates get ghosted after an interview. Half of all applicants were ghosted in the past year. 42% dropped out because scheduling took too long.
The hiring tools that dominate the market were built for recruiters, not for the people going through the process. evenloop is built for both.
How evenloop works
Zero ghosting
Every candidate gets a resolution. Structurally impossible to forget someone in the pipeline. Automatic escalation if someone stalls for more than 5 days.
AI that surfaces, not filters
Loop AI writes match narratives that explain why a candidate is worth looking at — including the non-obvious fits that keyword matching misses.
Candidate portal
Applicants always know exactly where they stand — current stage, next steps, what to expect. No login wall, no account creation, no mystery.
Built for startups making their first real hires.
You're seed to Series B. You have 3 to 15 open roles and no dedicated recruiting team. The founder, an ops lead, or your first people hire is doing recruiting on top of everything else.
You've outgrown spreadsheets but you don't need Greenhouse. You need something you can set up this week — not this quarter — that won't embarrass you in front of the candidates you're trying to hire.
Why this exists.
After 9 months of job searching last year — hundreds of applications, broken Workday forms that lost my data, cryptic errors on unlabeled required fields — I stopped being frustrated and started building.
If I could barely navigate these systems as a Staff engineer with 20 years of experience, I couldn't stop thinking about what that experience is like for someone using a screen reader. Or someone with limited English. Or anyone who doesn't have the technical literacy to brute-force their way through a broken form.
evenloop exists because hiring software should work for everyone going through it — not just the people buying it.
