The problem

Hiring shouldn't be the hardest part of running your business.

You're the owner, the manager, the HR department, and sometimes the dishwasher. Applications come in on paper, by email, through DMs, and occasionally on the back of a napkin.

You don't have time to read every single one. So you skim. You go with your gut. And sometimes your gut is exhausted and just picks whoever can start Tuesday.

Bad hires cost you $4,000+. Good candidates slip through the cracks. There's a better way.

Team behind the counter

What you get

Everything an HR department does. In one tool.

Branded Careers Page

A professional, mobile-friendly hiring portal with your story, photos, and open positions. Makes an 8-seat cafe look as polished as Starbucks.

Personality Assessments

45 questions measuring 12 traits that actually matter — hospitality, initiative, steadiness, follow-through. Not generic personality fluff.

Every Application, Pre-Reviewed

Recommendation. Summary. Strengths. Concerns. Tailored interview questions. All done before you open your dashboard.

Cross-Position Fit

Applied for barista, but their profile says shift lead? Sifted catches what resumes can't. The insight that used to require a seasoned HR director.

One Dashboard, Everything

Schedule interviews. Track applicants. Add team notes. Automated emails at every stage. Candidates check their own status — no more 'did you get my app?' emails.

15 Minutes to Launch

Add your name, a photo, your open positions. Done. You're running a hiring process that businesses ten times your size don't have.

How it works

Up and running before your next shift.

From the field

Cross-position fit caught

Sifted flagged an applicant as a better fit for shift lead than the barista role she applied for. Six months later, she runs my Saturday morning crew.
