Why we built this
Recruiting shouldn't require a project manager.
The problem
Traditional ATS platforms were built for enterprise procurement committees, not for teams that need to hire. They take months to set up, require dedicated administrators, and charge per seat even for hiring managers who log in once a quarter.
The result? Most growing companies either overpay for software they barely use, or cobble together spreadsheets and email threads. Neither option scales. Neither option is fast.
We have seen this cycle repeat at every company we have worked at. Great teams slowed down by terrible tools. Hiring managers forced into clunky interfaces. Recruiters spending more time configuring software than talking to candidates.
The solution
Silky is built on a simple idea: recruitment software should do the recruiting, not just track it. From the moment a job is created, Silky writes descriptions, sources candidates, scores applications, schedules interviews, and generates offer letters.
It runs from Slack, WhatsApp, or any tool your team already uses. Your hiring managers never need to learn a new interface. They just approve, reject, or ask for more information - from the apps they are already in all day.
API-first from day one. No implementation project. No data migration nightmare. Sign up, post a job, and you are hiring. In minutes, not months.
What we believe
Principles, not features
Speed over customisation
We would rather lose a customer who wants 47 configurable fields than slow down the 95% who just want to hire someone. Opinionated defaults beat infinite options.
Meet people where they are
Hiring managers live in Slack. Executives check WhatsApp. Developers hit APIs. We go to them. We do not ask them to come to us.
Automate the boring parts
Writing job ads, chasing interview times, generating offer letters - none of this requires human judgment. The human parts are the conversations. Everything else should run itself.
Start hiring today. Not next quarter.
Free to start. No implementation project. No sales call.
