You don't have a shortage of applicants. You have a decision you can't make.
The ad goes up, the applications come in, and the pile grows. Every shortlist meeting ends the same way: three maybes and no yes. Nobody wants to make a six-figure call on a CV and a good conversation, so the seat stays open and the work it was meant to do doesn't get done. Hiring was never your job. It keeps arriving on your desk anyway.
Done with you
We run your next hire with you, start to finish.
Three one-hour calls, spread across the life of one real role. We're on the call, you're in the driver's seat, and the work happens live rather than in a training video.

1 hour, online
The role, the benchmark and the ad
We build the ideal candidate profile for the role, write the job ad and put it live on the boards. You leave this call with the job advertised.
You walk away with: A live ad and the benchmark every applicant gets measured against.

The ranked shortlist, and why
Once applications are in we go through the ranked list together: what the AI flagged, what it scored, and who is worth an hour of your time. Bring the CVs your recruiter sent as well. They get assessed the same way.
You walk away with: A shortlist you can defend, and the reasons attached to every name.

The interview, the references, the record
We walk through the interview guide, set up the reference checks and pull the record together. You interview, you decide, you sign.
You walk away with: A hire, and a record of how you got there.
And the platform for a month, so you can run the next one yourself.
The point isn't that we run one hire for you. It's that after it, you can run the next one without us.
Worth doing, and not worth doing.
A good fit if:
- You have a role open right now, or one opening in the next month.
- You're the person who signs off on the hire.
- You have 20 to 200 staff and no recruitment team.
- You've had this seat open longer than you'd like.
Probably not yet if:
- You have no role to fill. The Kick-start runs on a real one, so book it when you have it.
- You don't hire regularly. Most of what you keep is the process for next time, so it's worth less if the next hire is years away.
- You want someone to do the interviews for you. We build the guide, you run the conversation.
What happened last time
A Senior Sales Director seat, open for months. Filled two weeks after they started.
A health and fitness group in Cape Town had a Senior Sales Director role they couldn't close. Not for lack of applications. The ads pulled candidates and recruiters sent CVs, and the pile kept growing. The problem was choosing, not sourcing. They ran the role through GrowMyTeam: the ad went to the boards from one screen, and the CVs already sitting in their inbox from recruiters went into the same process. An agency candidate and a job board applicant were finally being measured against the same standard. Two weeks after starting, the seat was filled.
“The personality profiling provides some useful insights and adds another layer to the candidate review process. It helps build a broader picture of the candidate beyond what's on their CV.”
“The resume analysis is helpful and gives a good snapshot of the candidate's experience, skills, and potential gaps. It definitely helps speed up the initial screening process.”
No risk
If the shortlist isn't worth interviewing, you don't pay for it.
At the end of the screening call you'll be looking at a ranked shortlist with the reasoning attached. If you wouldn't put an hour in a room with any of them, tell us within seven days of that call and we refund the full $499. No form, no conditions about what you tried first, no argument about whose fault it is. You decide, not us.
What this doesn't promise: that the person accepts, or that the market has the candidate you want at the salary you're offering. It promises the shortlist is worth your time.
What happens once you've booked.
You pick a time for the first call in the same flow. Confirmation and calendar invite land in your inbox.
A short note asking what the role is. Nothing long, about five minutes. It means call one starts on the work instead of the background.
The ad goes live on the call. Applications start arriving within a day or two, and they get scored as they land. You don't have to watch.
Booked around your applications, not a fixed schedule. Most roles are ready to screen inside a week or two.
Total time from you: three hours on calls, plus the interviews you'd be doing anyway.
Questions, answered.
One role, run properly, is the whole argument.
You'll know inside a fortnight whether this is how you want to hire from now on. That's the point of running it on a real seat instead of talking about it.
Book it.
$499 once off. Three calls. Money back if the shortlist isn't worth interviewing.

Money back guarantee
If the shortlist isn't worth interviewing, tell us within seven days of your screening session and the $499 comes back. You decide, not us.
