“First shortlist in under two weeks, with screening notes I could forward to the CEO without rewriting. That's the bar.”
The problem
Hiring breaks when no one owns the process.
Job boards generate noise. Agencies send resumes and disappear. Building an in-house recruiting team takes six months and three hundred thousand dollars — money most companies don't have at the stage they need it most.
Masarna is the in-between you've been looking for. A senior recruiter who runs your hiring process end-to-end, supported by software that gives your hiring managers real visibility, decision tools, and weekly accountability.
The platform
One workspace for the entire hiring loop.
Everything your recruiter produces — surfaced where your hiring managers already work.
