What is Bolto?
Hiring and managing a growing team of software engineers often feels like juggling multiple tools and processes. You might use one platform for sourcing, another for interviews, spreadsheets for tracking, and separate systems for payroll and HR. This fragmented approach consumes valuable time and resources that could be better spent building your product. Bolto brings the entire journey – from finding the right engineering talent to managing them after they join – into one connected platform. We use AI to streamline the early stages of candidate assessment and matching, then provide the tools needed to handle payroll and essential HR functions, helping you build your engineering team efficiently.
Key Features
🔍 Source and Match Talent: Bolto's AI analyzes your job description and searches for candidates who are the strongest potential fit, presenting you with profiles that have a high probability of success in the role.
🤖 AI-Powered Candidate Assessment: Candidates take technical assessments and AI interviews directly within Bolto, providing objective data on their skills and communication style.
📄 Unified Candidate Profiles: Get a comprehensive view of each candidate, combining their resume, GitHub profile, assessment results, and other provided information in one place.

Use Cases
Rapidly Scaling Your Engineering Team: Imagine you're a startup needing to hire five backend engineers quickly to meet product milestones. Instead of manually sifting through applications and coordinating multiple interviews across different tools, you upload your job description to Bolto. The platform's AI immediately presents you with a curated list of pre-assessed candidates highly matched to your needs. You review the unified profiles, conduct final interviews, and make offers, then onboard and run payroll for the new hires all within Bolto, significantly accelerating your hiring timeline.
Improving Technical Assessment Accuracy: You've struggled in the past with inconsistent technical interviews. With Bolto, candidates complete standardized AI-driven technical assessments before you even speak with them. Their performance data is integrated into their profile, giving you objective insights into their coding skills and problem-solving abilities, leading to more informed interview conversations and better hiring decisions.
Consolidating HR Functions for a Small Team: As a growing company, your small operations or management team is handling both recruiting and basic HR tasks. Juggling applicant tracking, interview scheduling, reference checks, payroll processing, and employee record-keeping across disparate systems is time-consuming. Bolto allows you to manage the entire process – from initial candidate sourcing and assessment through to running payroll and keeping essential employee information – in one integrated platform, freeing up your team to focus on core business activities.
