Hiring, from a profile that already shows the work.

The application is better when the applicant’s profile was written for other founders, not for a résumé filter.

The company keeps a clean record of who is where — the part that usually leaks into a spreadsheet and then into nobody’s memory. As the candidate, you see every application you have made in one place.

What the company reads instead of a résumé

A document written to pass a filter.

A job board’s fundamental problem is that everything on both sides is a document written to pass a filter. The role description is written to attract; the résumé is written to survive.

CHiiRO’s jobs sit on top of a network where the profile already exists and was written for a different audience — other founders, people deciding whether to ask you a question — so it tends to be more honest about what someone actually did. When a candidate applies, you are not reading a document composed for you. You are reading what was already there.

How founders use CHiiRO

How CHiiRO protects what you share, and how to ask us about it.

Read the security page

An application carries

Your name
How to reach you
Your covering letter
A link to your CV

Your listing would be among the first.

The jobs board already carries roles imported from public company job boards, each linking to the company’s own site to apply. What it does not have yet is a role posted by a member. If you are hiring now, yours would be among the first posted on CHiiRO itself.

Questions about hiring.

What an application exposes

Can I post a job on CHiiRO?

Yes. Roles are posted from a company page by someone with standing in that company, so a listing posted on CHiiRO is attached to a company page. You can set the type — full-time, contract, remote, hybrid or on-site. Jobs are read inside the app by signed-in members.

How do applications work on CHiiRO?

For a role posted on CHiiRO, you apply from inside the app and can withdraw until a decision is made. The company sees every application for a role and moves each through a status — pending, reviewed, shortlisted, then accepted or rejected — and you can see every application you have made in one place.

Does CHiiRO have job listings right now?

Yes. The jobs board carries roles imported from public company job boards, each linking to the company’s own site to apply. No member has posted a role on CHiiRO yet, so if you are hiring now, your listing would be among the first.

What information does a CHiiRO job application include?

Your name, contact details, a covering letter and a link to your CV. How CHiiRO handles it is set out in the Privacy Policy.

What should a startup job post actually say?

The stage of the company, the specific problem the first ninety days is about, who the person would work with, and the honest constraint — the thing a candidate would be annoyed to discover in week two. Everything else is decoration.
