You are the de facto talent person, before HR scales up. You run ops, you run hiring, you run the audit when finance asks. Picked gives you one pipeline across every function, with spend caps per role, an audit trail per decision, and shared notes across managers. You stop being the bottleneck.

"Nine open reqs across five functions. No recruiter. I had a calendar and a sense of dread."

"Different hiring managers were running different bars. Three hires last quarter would not have got past stage one with our best manager."

"Procurement wanted a quarterly hiring spend forecast. I had nothing. I left the meeting and signed up for Picked the same afternoon."

Set a spend cap per role, default 50 candidates. Picked stops vetting and charging the moment the cap is hit; you decide whether to raise it.

The same six-trait rubric framework runs across engineering, sales, product, ops, finance. Different traits per role family, same fairness posture, same audit.

When legal asks why a candidate was not progressed, you have the answer in writing within minutes. Per-candidate JSON, per-role report, all in the dashboard.

Each hiring manager owns their roles. You see the org-wide view. Roles are owned, notes are shared, decisions are logged with the operator's identity.

Hire in London, Berlin, and Austin from one dashboard. Stripe handles local-currency billing. Compliance posture configures per region automatically.

The forecast before you publish, not the bill after. Forecast accuracy is published quarterly.

"We had nine reqs and no recruiter. We hired six in 90 days, paid less than one agency retainer total, and the team is still here."

"Procurement asked for a quarterly hiring spend forecast. I exported it from Picked in two clicks. They have never seen that from an HR system."

"When legal asked why we did not progress a candidate, I sent them the audit JSON. That used to take a week of back-and-forth."

"I have nine hiring managers running roles their own way, on one rubric framework, with one spend cap. That is the bit that made me sign."
