Can I hire for a role I am not an expert in?

Yes. You see how each candidate ranks, the evidence behind it, and the AI interview where they back up the claims on their CV. Walk into your call with sharp follow-up questions ready. A software developer can hire a marketer this way.

How long is the AI interview, and will candidates actually complete it?

Five minutes. We ask only what actually predicts fit for your role, no warm-up filler. 8 out of 10 candidates finish.

How much does BestHire cost?

Your first hire is on us. No card, no trial countdown, no catch. After that, $25 a month for Basic or $45 for Pro.

Can I cancel anytime, and what happens to my data?

Yes, you can cancel anytime. No contracts or exit fees. Since BestHire is GDPR compliant, your data is encrypted and never shared with anybody. We hold it for 180 days in case you come back, and after that we delete your data permanently after giving you a notice.

1.~~Tell me about your Kubernetes experience?~~ (too generic)
2.~~Why did you migrate?~~ (she'll just say "scale")
3.Something about pods???

i don't actually know what to ask

You're a marketer. The CVs all read the same. Your questions don't separate the strong from the average.

With BestHire

We asked Sara · 2 of 6 questions shown

Q1Walk me through how you scoped the migration and what your rollback plan was if pods failed.
Q2Which workloads did you migrate first, and what was the reason for that order?

You ask · in your own call

1.Push on the Staff engineer's role — what was Sara's actual ownership?
2.Ask for the specific monitoring thresholds in the rollback plan.
3.Ask why payments was migrated last.

The AI handled depth in its interview. You walk in already three questions ahead.

You bring the judgment. We bring the domain depth.

Features

Everything you need to hire with evidence.

Most hiring tools rank candidates by surface signals. BestHire ranks them by what they can defend.

Strong JDs make strong shortlists.

Vague JDs produce vague shortlists. BestHire scores your JD, flags weak spots, and suggests fixes before applicants apply.
