A free 30-minute hiring diagnosis

Thirty minutes on how you hire today. A one-page written read within two working days. No slides, no pitch.

The hiring diagnosis is a free 30-minute call with Tarek Mahdy about how your team hires today, followed by a one-page written read within two working days. The read tells you what to fix first, what to leave alone, and whether embedded is the right model for your stage, or whether it is not. You keep it either way.

What do we look at?

Where candidates stall. Stage by stage, from first reply to signed offer. Most teams lose people in one specific place and do not know which.
What is still done by hand. Scheduling, chasing feedback, copying between tools, rejections. The weekly hours nobody counts.
What the numbers say. Time in stage, offer acceptance, where your hires actually came from. If you do not have the numbers, that is a finding too.
Who decides what. Whether the founder, the hiring manager and the interviewers agree on what a good hire looks like, and whether anyone has written it down.
The hire you regret. What went wrong, and what in the process let it through.

What do you get?

A one-page written read, in your inbox within two working days.

The three things we would fix first, in order, and why that order.
What we would leave alone. Not everything slow is worth touching.
What is worth automating and what is not, based on your stack, not a template.
Whether embedded fits, which milestones we would scope first, or whether you do not need us at all. With the number, because pricing is published.

What should you bring?

Your open roles, or the hiring plan for the next two quarters.
Access to whatever tracks candidates today. An ATS, a spreadsheet, a Notion board or an inbox all work.
The last hire that went wrong, and the last one that went right.

What is it not?

It is not a sales call with a diagnosis attached. If the read says you should hire an in-house recruiter, use an agency, or fix your interview loop before spending anything, that is what it will say. Half the value of the call is finding out in thirty minutes what would otherwise take a quarter.

Frequently asked questions

Is the hiring diagnosis really free?

Yes. Thirty minutes on a call and a one-page written read within two working days, with no obligation. If a different provider or no provider is the right answer, the read says so.

Do we need an ATS before the diagnosis?

No. A spreadsheet, a Notion board or an inbox is enough. Not having an ATS is usually one of the findings, not a barrier to the call.

Who runs the diagnosis?

Tarek Mahdy, founder of Techy Recruiter, runs every diagnosis call and writes the read.

What happens after the diagnosis?

If there is a fit, a written scope follows with the role set, the timeline and the number. If there is not, the read still tells you what to fix first and you keep it.
