Plan hiring around the free plan's single active position.
The Bootstrap plan allows only one active position at a time. Archived roles do not count against this limit.
This guide shows you how to sequence hiring through that single slot, when to archive a completed role, and how to recognise when your volume justifies an upgrade.
Show applicants, pipeline movement, and time-to-hire from real data rather than a spreadsheet.
Use the free plan's GDPR tools to handle candidate data properly.
Preserve candidate records before the free plan's retention window closes.
List the roles you expect to hire for over the next quarter.
Check whether any two roles need to be open at the same time. If they do, note that as a potential upgrade trigger.
If only one role runs at a time, sequence them through the single active slot.
Complete and archive a role before opening the next one.
Export the candidate data from the completed role before archiving.
Archive the completed role to free the active position slot.
Open the next role in your sequence.
Track how often you hit the limit as evidence for the upgrade decision.
If two or more roles must run simultaneously, recognise that as the upgrade trigger.
**Scenario**: [Your company] plans to hire a [Role A] in [Month [value]], a [Role B] in [Month [value]], and a [Role C] in [Month [value]]. **Step 1**: List the roles and their expected timelines: - [Role A]: [Month [value]] - [Role B]: [Month [value]] - [Role C]: [Month [value]] **Step 2**: Check for overlap. If [Role A] closes before [Role B] opens, no overlap exists. **Step 3**: Sequence the roles. Post [Role A] first. **Step 4**: When you complete [Role A], archive it. **Step 5**: Export the candidate data for [Role A] before archiving. **Step 6**: Archive [Role A]. The active slot is now free. **Step 7**: Post [Role B] using the freed slot. **Step 8**: If [Role B] had needed to open before [Role A] closed, log that conflict as upgrade evidence. **Step 9**: Review your log. If conflicts recur, present that evidence when considering an upgrade.
Sequence planned roles through the single free active-position slot, archiving each completed role before opening the next, and log every occasion two roles were needed at once as evidence for the upgrade decision.
Compare structured candidate data against the role's requirements consistently.
Track where every candidate stands without a spreadsheet.
