Hiring should be human.

We built Kit because recruiting is broken for everyone — candidates get ghosted, teams drown in spreadsheets, and great people slip through the cracks.

Built by a hiring manager, not a committee

Ernest Bursa · Founder

I built and scaled a large engineering team from scratch, hiring constantly as the team grew. I've reviewed thousands of applications, run hundreds of interviews, and made more offers than I can count. Along the way, I ghosted candidates I shouldn't have, lost great people to slow processes, and watched the team drown in spreadsheet pipelines.

Kit exists because I got tired of choosing between enterprise software I couldn't afford and duct-taped tools that embarrassed me in front of candidates. I built the ATS I wished I'd had — one that treats applicants like people and gives small teams the same hiring superpowers as companies with dedicated recruiting departments.

Every feature in Kit comes from a real problem I hit while hiring. Magic links exist because I hated asking candidates to create accounts. Stage-specific workflows exist because evaluating a designer and an engineer with the same process never made sense. AI extraction exists because I spent too many evenings copy-pasting from resumes into spreadsheets. The security portal exists because when I needed a place for researchers to report vulnerabilities, the only options were platforms that cost more than my entire tooling budget.
  • Hired 50+ engineers from scratch
  • Ghosted candidates (learned the hard way)
  • Survived spreadsheet-based recruiting

Candidates are people

Every applicant deserves a response. Kit makes sure no one gets ghosted, with thoughtful automated updates at every stage.

One size fits nobody

Designers, engineers, and product managers need different evaluations. Kit lets you build workflows tailored to each role instead of pushing everyone through the same funnel.

AI-native, not AI-decorated

MCP integration means your AI assistant manages pipelines directly. No copying between tools — just tell it what you need.

Built for small teams

You don't need enterprise software to hire well. Kit gives growing teams the tools to run a professional, respectful hiring process from day one.

Good software doesn't need a sales team.

Most ATS vendors sell you a relationship, not a product. We just built something good and put a price on the website.
