ArkenCore — Intent-first hiring intelligence for DACH startups
ArkenCore replaces a week of sourcing, JD writing, and screening with one 30-minute intake conversation. By the time the call ends, you have a job description, a ranked shortlist of 20–30 candidates with visible reasoning, and candidate-specific outreach notes.
Built for Series A–C founders and talent leads in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (DACH).
How it works
- Minute 00 · Intake: A hiring manager names the real constraints — non-negotiables, trade-offs, team context, pace, and what would make a candidate wrong even with the right CV.
- Minute 10 · JD and compliance: The role becomes a postable JD with AGG language checks, pay transparency, and GDPR-compliant candidate-data processing context.
- Minute 20 · The shortlist appears: ArkenCore ranks 20–30 candidates against the intent record you just built. Every rank carries visible reasoning. Every gap is flagged.
- Minute 28 · Outreach: Candidate-specific talking points are generated against the same intent. You walk off the call with the messages ready to send.
Why it matters at Series A–C
- 50+ hours before the first interview — ArkenCore: thirty minutes, end to end.
- 1.5–2x annual salary cost of a mis-hire — ArkenCore gives you visible reasoning before you commit interview time.
- Zero memory from the last role — ArkenCore: every next role inherits the last role's calibration.
Trust and compliance
- AGG language checks on generated JDs
- Pay transparency path built into the JD workflow
- DPA signed before first data is processed
- EU data residency — all data stored in Frankfurt (EEA)
ATS compatibility
ArkenCore works alongside your existing ATS (Personio, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby). It sits upstream as the intent, ranking, and calibration layer — not a replacement.
