Your first dev hire
shouldn't be a $50K
mistake.
HireLens audits your job description for free and tells you exactly what's attracting the wrong developers — before you waste months and money on a bad hire.
The Problem
73% of first dev hires fail.
Here's why.
Wrong signals
You're screening for impressive resumes instead of the skills that actually matter for your stage and stack.
No tech network
Without engineering contacts, you can't tell who's truly senior and who just interviews well.
Expensive mistakes
A bad hire costs $50K+ in salary, lost time, and the opportunity cost of building the wrong thing.
