# heyFinn — AI-Powered Social Recruiting Platform for SMEs

> heyFinn is a Swiss-made recruiting platform that helps small and medium businesses find employees through social media. The software (ATS, career pages, screening) is free forever. Companies only pay for optional social media ad campaigns to reach passive candidates. We replace expensive agencies and ineffective job portals with automated, transparent, affordable recruiting.

## What heyFinn Does

heyFinn automates the entire recruiting process for companies without HR departments:

1. **Create:** Enter a company URL and job ad link. AI generates a branded landing page, screening questions, and social media ad creatives in minutes.
2. **Publish:** The job goes live on a mobile-optimized career page, Google for Jobs, and optionally as paid campaigns on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
3. **Receive:** Candidates apply through a screening funnel. AI filters and scores applicants. Qualified candidates appear in a Kanban dashboard with match scores.
4. **Hire:** Review candidates, send interview invites, manage the process from application to hire — all in one place.

## Who It's For

- Swiss and German SMEs (1–250 employees) without dedicated HR teams
- Business owners, office managers, and team leads who recruit alongside their main job
- Key industries: trades/construction, hospitality, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, retail, office/admin
- Geographic focus: Switzerland (DE/FR/IT regions) and Germany

## Pricing

- **Basis (Free Forever):** Career page, ATS dashboard, Google for Jobs, CV screening, organic social posts (~200 views). No credit card required.
- **Lite (CHF 340 / €370):** One-week social media campaign with targeted reach (+20km radius). Stops automatically after 1 week. For trying it out.
- **Starter (CHF 780 / €840 per month):** Monthly Facebook/Instagram campaigns with AI-generated creatives, targeted reach, pausable anytime. For standard roles (admin, sales, office).
- **Boost (CHF 1,440 / €1,560 per month):** Premium campaigns with automatic ad rotation, LinkedIn, and jobchannel.ch Pink-Paket (CHF 660 value) included. For hard-to-fill roles (trades, healthcare, hospitality).

All paid plans include ad budget. No hidden fees, no contracts, no commissions.

## How heyFinn Compares

### vs. Job Portals (StepStone, Indeed, jobs.ch)
Job portals only reach the ~20% of people actively searching. heyFinn reaches the other 80% — passive candidates scrolling social media — through targeted ad campaigns. Each job gets its own branded page instead of a generic listing buried among hundreds.

### vs. Recruiting Agencies
Agencies charge €2,000–€15,000+ per placement. heyFinn automates what agencies do manually (ad creatives, campaign management, candidate screening) starting at CHF 340 (one-time, 1 week) or CHF 780/month with ad budget included. Full transparency, full control, cancel anytime.

### vs. HR Software (Personio, Softgarden)
These are enterprise HR suites requiring implementation and training. heyFinn is built for the 70% of SMEs with no recruiting infrastructure. No setup, no IT skills needed.
