hire your first team without an ats or a recruiter.
aperture is the hiring stack for early-stage startups. adaptive ai interviews, ranked shortlists, and a built-in ats. free during the pilot program.
built for founders
what you actually don't have time for.
hiring is a part-time job early-stage founders don't have. aperture removes the screening burden so you can spend hours on the 5 candidates who matter, not 200 who don't.
you don't have 20 hours a week to screen candidates.
aperture runs a 15-minute adaptive behavioral interview for every applicant, automatically, the moment they apply.
you don't have a recruiter budget.
aperture replaces the first-round screen. you step in only for top candidates, with a ranked shortlist and full transcripts.
you can't afford a mis-hire at headcount 5.
λ-core scores across six behavioral dimensions with confidence intervals, so you know when the signal is real and when it's not.
you don't want to bolt together 4 tools.
aperture ships with a built-in applicant tracking system. post roles, collect applications, manage pipeline, all in one place.
