Flexhire

What Flexhire does

Flexhire is a cloud-based HR platform that bundles three core offerings into one product: an applicant tracking system (ATS), a global talent network of pre-screened freelance and permanent candidates, and an Employer of Record (EOR) service for hiring permanent employees in countries where the client has no legal entity. The platform targets technology companies and globally distributed employers seeking software engineers, designers, and other knowledge workers; the talent pool spans software development, design, project management, sales, marketing, and finance. A separate contractor management module handles misclassification risk and global payroll, and a "FlexManage" add-on provides work-report tracking and structured feedback for managing distributed teams. Coverage extends to 100+ countries, with payments routed through Wise, Payoneer, Stripe, and USDC integrations.

The underlying technology combines an ATS with AI-driven automated screening (question generation grounded in 25 years of academic research on hiring predictors), video-based candidate profiles, and one-click multi-currency payroll. Authentication is provided via OAuth SSO with LinkedIn, Google, and GitHub. The platform supports self-serve onboarding for both clients and talent members, and includes automated sourcing, interview scheduling, background checks, and analytics.

Flexhire monetizes through tiered monthly subscriptions for the ATS ($150/month Starter, $500/month Standard and Enterprise tiers differentiated by manager seats), $799/month per employee for EOR services, and $100/month plus a $3.33/day usage fee for contractor management. The talent network is free-until-hire, with margin embedded in quoted hourly rates. The company was founded in 2015 by Brian McSweeney (former CTO/CIO of Standard Industries and PepsiCo digital leader) and Stephen McSweeney, is legally organized as Flexhire LLC, and operates with a small team (1-10 per firmographics; careers page notes a slightly larger range). Named customers span PepsiCo and several startups (Fieldaware, Phorest, Clade, Assured Labor, Webdoctor). The company appears bootstrapped with no disclosed venture capital funding.
