Before You Even Have HR

Hiring your first team shouldn’t be a nightmare. We help you move fast, stay lean, and make smart, data-driven hires, without the guesswork.

We Know What It’s Like to Build With Limited Resources

That’s why we strip away the noise and give you exactly what you need to hire right:

🚀 No resumes. No wasted time.

Resumes don’t tell you who can actually do the job, we help you find who can.

🎯 Custom pre-interviews

Designed around the skills and values that matter to you.

🤝 An unfair hiring advantage

Because early-stage founders can’t afford bad hires.

💡 Hiring should be a growth engine, not a bottleneck.
Octopus gives you real, job-specific data, before the interview.
