Bastian
Founder — and Groucho's first customer
Why I built Groucho.
I built Groucho for myself. As a founder, I was drowning in CVs — spending weekends screening hundreds of applications that had nothing to do with actually building the company. So I automated it.
Groucho runs my own hiring today, end to end: it screens every application, builds the evidence for each candidate, and schedules the interviews. I only step in to make the calls that matter. That's the deal I want for every founder — the busywork disappears, the decisions stay yours.
If you're hiring right now, I'd genuinely like to hear from you — email me directly. No sales team, no demo script. Just two founders talking about hiring.
Pricing: free during the closed beta.
We publish pricing before the beta ends — openly, on this page. No “contact sales”, no surprise invoices.
Free while in beta
Full product, real candidates, no feature gates. You pay nothing during the closed beta.
Set up with the founder
Bastian personally helps you configure your first role — from job spec to a working screening pipeline.
Preferred pricing at launch
Beta teams shape the roadmap and keep preferred terms when public pricing goes live.
AI in hiring only works if you can trust it.
Hiring decisions are consequential — for your company and for every candidate. Groucho is built for European hiring from day one: transparent to candidates, auditable for you, and compliant by architecture rather than by afterthought.
Humans make every final decision
Groucho screens, ranks, and recommends — but no candidate is rejected, shortlisted, or hired without a human confirming it. Built to the EU AI Act's human-oversight requirements.
Candidates know AI is involved
Every applicant is told up front that AI assists the screening. No silent scoring, no hidden filters.
GDPR by design
Candidates can request access, correction, or deletion of their data at any time. You control retention periods; expired data is removed automatically.
Every decision is auditable
An append-only event log records what happened to every application, when, and who confirmed it — so you can always explain a hiring decision.
