The Competitive Truth

No Setup. High Fidelity. Total Disruption.

HireVue costs $50–100K and takes months. Paradox costs $15K+ and takes 12 weeks. SeekerPitch costs $0 to deploy — most teams are screening same day.

Paradox: 12 weeks + $15K to integrate. SeekerPitch: same day + $0.

Three tools. One obvious winner.

The enterprise tools charge six figures to do what SeekerPitch does same day for $0.

The Moat

Paradox is a text-bot. HireVue is passive video capture.

Neither can evaluate a frontline leader’s true soft skills. Neither was built for operations. Neither gets smarter with your data.

Voice + Video AI

Sophia conducts multi-modal screens — conversational Voice AI and asynchronous video. Not a text message. Not a form. An actual interview.

17-Point DNA Engine

Every response maps to 5 Operator Zones and 17 behavioral factors. Guest Impact, Pressure Readiness, Team Leadership — scored with evidence, not guesses.

Learns Your Business

Every hiring decision feeds back into your Job DNA model. Sophia gets smarter with every search. The model compounds. The competition resets.

And compared to staffing agencies?

Every placement fee you’ve paid is revenue you handed to someone else for a hire that might not last 12 months.

Recruiting Agency

  • 20–30% of first-year salary — per hire
  • $10,000–$20,000+ per placement on a $70K manager
  • One-off searches — no pipeline, no database
  • Lose hiring control — agency chooses what to send you
  • 50% of new hires fail within 12–18 months anyway

SeekerPitch

  • Flat $497–$1,257/mo — hire as many as you want
  • No placement fees. No percentage. Ever.
  • Continuous pipeline — always-on, always improving
  • Your team makes every decision
  • AI gets smarter with every hire you make

The math is simple.

One failed GM costs up to 200% of their base salary in lost revenue, team churn, and guest attrition. Management turnover runs 28% annually. Half of all new hires fail in the first 12–18 months. A single agency placement on a $70K manager runs $14,000–$21,000 — that’s 14–21 months of SeekerPitch with no placement ceiling and a pipeline that never turns off. Most clients recover their annual subscription cost on their first hire.

Benchmarks sourced from SHRM Workforce Research. Cost of a failed hire consistent with SHRM estimates.

The Only Obvious Choice

Stop paying for tools built for someone else.

SeekerPitch is the only AI interview layer purpose-built for operations leadership — with $0 setup, same-day deployment, and a DNA engine that gets smarter with every hire.

ATS optional. No contracts. No placement fees. No IT project.
