Series B and C scale-up
/solutions/series-b-c
Ten roles in 90 days,
without breaking the team.
Ten reqs. Three hiring managers who are also doing their day jobs. A board that wants the team to double in two quarters. The recruiter math does not scale: ten roles times fifteen thousand pounds per hire is a hundred and fifty thousand pounds before the funnel even starts. Picked runs the funnel for all ten roles at 99 cents per vetted candidate. Your managers see three finalists each, not two hundred CVs.

What you said, last quarter
Three things series b and c scale-up leaders told us.
Mon 09:12
"Ten roles, three managers, none of them have time to read CVs. We hired one external recruiter; she quit after six weeks because the volume was unhuman."
· COO · Series B SaaS, 110 people
Wed 14:00
"Two of our hiring managers have a much higher bar than the third. Half of last quarter's offers would not have got past our best manager."
· Head of people · Series C fintech, 180 people
Thu 20:45
"The CFO modelled the hiring cost for next year. It came out at six hundred thousand pounds for thirty roles. Half of that is recruiter fees."
· CEO · Series B health, 90 people
How Picked addresses each
Three answers. One pipeline.
Managers stay managers.
Picked runs the screen, the assessment, and the first-round interview for every role. Your managers see three finalists per role, with full transcripts and a score breakdown. The first time a manager spends time is on the second-round in-person, where it matters.
↓ AI screen and assessment
One bar across managers, set by you.
One rubric framework runs across all roles. Different traits per role family, same fairness posture, same audit. Managers tune within a frame they do not own. The bar stays where the org sets it, not where the manager happens to be that week.
↓ Decision engine
Per-role spend caps. Forecast before publish.
Set a spend cap per role. Default 50 candidates. Picked stops vetting at the cap, you decide whether to raise it. Predicted total spend is visible before you publish each role. Ten roles, five hundred candidates each, capped at the median, costs less than one recruiter retainer.

From the beta
"We had nine reqs and one recruiter who quit. We posted them all through Picked. The first three closed in week four. The whole quarter's hiring spend came in under one agency retainer. The team is still here."

Quotes paraphrased from beta sessions, May 2026. Named, consented quotes ship with V1.
For Series B and C, the alternative is:
Internal recruiter team (2 recruiters)
$150k to $180k loaded cost per year
Plus benefits, plus burnout, plus the recruiter quitting.
External agencies (10 roles, 20% per hire)
$150k to $200k per year
Variable, depends on salary band.
Greenhouse or Ashby plus your own loop
$8k to $20k per year, annual contract, per-seat
The funnel is still your problem.
