How it works

A few hours a week.
Focus on what matters. Talents.

It runs on your phone. Brief it Monday, review Wednesday, tweak Friday — all in WhatsApp. The full platform is there when you want the bigger picture.

The 15-minute kickoff

hirinq asks what a sharp recruiter asks on day one — which certs and licences are non-negotiable, which shifts to cover, how far from the site. Send a job ad, a shift plan or a photo of the workshop straight from your phone. It reads the lot.

hirinqWhat matters more for this Anlagenmechaniker role — a fresh Geselle you can train up, or someone who can run the job solo from day one?
YouRun it solo. We're short a lead on the early shift.

hirinqGot it. I read the ad and the shift plan. I'll require a valid SHK qualification and a driver's licence — confirm?

Review the sourcing

A handful of talents lands on your phone, most likely to hire first. Skim, thumbs up or down, one line of feedback. No spreadsheets, no job-board trawling, no "quick syncs."

A direct conversation on WhatsApp

The right talents get a message where they actually are. Your agent introduces itself, clears the key questions and proposes times — in your voice. Every message is AI-drafted and approved by you.

~2hrs / week / role

That's the whole job — brief, review, tighten, from your phone. Sourcing, outreach, screening and silver-medal nurture run in the background.

Platform on demand

The full picture, when you want it.

Day to day, your phone is enough. When you want the overview — every role, every conversation, exports, ATS sync — open the platform in your browser. Same queue, same talents.

Outreach

Messages that read like a human wrote them.

hirinq reads each talent's real signals — certs, licences, the jobs they've run, how far they are from the site — and writes to what they care about. On WhatsApp, where they actually read it. Tested and tuned for higher reply rates.

hirinq · on behalf of Bauer Haustechnik
to m.schaefer · about SHK, early-shift lead

Hi Martin,

Your Meister certificate and the heat-pump retrofits you've led around Leipzig are exactly the profile we're short on. We're a 40-person Handwerksbetrieb taking on more work than we can currently staff.

We're hiring an early-shift lead for our SHK team — permanent, about 15 minutes from your area, with the van and tools sorted. Worth a short call this week to see if it fits?

Shortlists

A short list, not a haystack.

Only the talents most likely to join — each with a two-line summary and an explainable score that fits on a phone screen: skills, certs, experience, availability. Drill into the evidence in the platform when a name earns it.

Efficient by design

Your edge runs on our tech.

OTP v0.2 talent profiles declare a disclosure tiermetadata, profile, or deep. The exchange screens on metadata first and only requests higher tiers for promising matches, so 80% of matching runs on the cheapest model tier. The cost advantage compounds the more roles you open.

80%
Most matching on the cheapest models
Metadata-first screening discards mismatches before any deep inference runs. Only the talents worth a closer look trigger richer model calls.
Consistent
Performance at any volume
5 roles or 500, same turnaround. Agents parallelise across the ADNX network — no agency capacity ceiling, no “we’ll get to it next week”.
<4
Hours of recruiter time per role, per week
Brief, review, decide. Everything sourcing- and outreach-shaped happens in the background, in your voice, on a schedule you set.
Open roles without adding headcount
The big employers' impossible ask — an agency that keeps up with demand without dropping quality. We don't get tired.

Frequently asked

The questions your procurement team will ask.

Legal & compliance

Does hiring fall under the EU AI Act?

Yes. Talent screening for employment is Annex III high-risk. hirinq is built to Art. 9–15 out of the box — risk management, data governance, human oversight, technical documentation, record-keeping.

Where does talent data live?

By default, Frankfurt. Customers in regulated sectors can pin residency to Amsterdam or a dedicated instance. No data leaves the EU without your express written consent.

How does this interact with the Betriebsrat?

BetrVG §87 Abs. 1 Nr. 6 applies. hirinq ships a works-council dossier, co-determination scope documentation, and configurable limits that the Betriebsrat can sign off on before the first talent is scored.

Operations

Do I need a computer?

No. Briefing, shortlists, feedback and talent conversations all run on your phone via WhatsApp. The full web platform — pipeline, exports, ATS sync — is included and there whenever you want it.

Which ATS do you integrate with?

Workday, Personio, Greenhouse, Ashby, Teamtailor, BambooHR, Recruitee, SmartRecruiters, softgarden, Workable, Join. Two-way sync. Your ATS is always the source of truth.

What replaces the recruiter?

Nothing — you run the show. hirinq handles the tedious parts, not the human ones. Final shortlist, interview, offer conversation: all yours.

How is this different from an AI recruiter or AI SDR?

AI recruiters send more outreach. hirinq sends less — bilateral matching filters out mismatches before a human writes the message. We're infrastructure (OTP, OJP, compliance vault), not a sourcing service. Your agent talks to theirs; humans meet only once both sides agree — and we only send messages that mean it.

Commercial

When exactly do I pay?

Only when three things are true: the talent agreed to be introduced to you, you sign a contract within 12 months of that introduction, and they're still with you 90 days after their start date. If they leave earlier or never start, there's no fee. The fee is 10% of the fixed annual gross salary — for hourly pay, hourly rate × weekly hours × 52.

What do I see before a talent agrees?

An anonymous profile: qualifications, experience, skills, region, availability, salary range and why they matched your role. No name, photo, contact details or CV until the talent says yes. Browsing profiles costs nothing.

What if we already know the talent?

No fee if they were already in an active application process with you in the 6 months before the introduction — say, they applied for a comparable role. Flag them in the platform within 10 working days and attach proof, such as the application receipt.

What does the pilot look like?

Six weeks, two job families, success criteria agreed in writing up front. If we don't beat your baseline on time-to-first-interview and shortlist quality, you owe nothing.

New language for a new category

The vocabulary of agent-based hiring.

hirinq is new infrastructure, not another job board. Here's the language — and what it means for your team.

Hiring Agent

An AI agent that acts on behalf of one party. Employer-side agents screen and negotiate; talent-side agents search and evaluate fit. Both operate within boundaries, surface decisions to a human.

Bilateral Matching

Both sides evaluate against structured criteria; both sides must accept. Distinct from one-way screening. Eliminates most mismatched applications before a human reads them.

Compliance Vault

An immutable log of every automated decision — what was evaluated, rejected, on what grounds, when. Satisfies EU AI Act Article 12 record-keeping as a byproduct of matching.

Open Talent / Job Protocols

Open, MIT-licensed specs (OTP and OJP) for representing talent and jobs as structured, portable data. Any ATS or hiring tool can adopt without permission.
