Founding Story
Hookstep's stated initial vision is to connect companies with exceptional technical talent through a structured hiring platform and public job board, while offering a managed path to India-based engineers. The same team also builds focused software products, including Hookpost, which was created from frustration with expensive social-scheduling SaaS that charges per social profile and pushes annual contracts.
Business Model
Revenue Model
Hookstep charges employers for managed staffing: contract and contract-to-hire roles are budgeted at ₹2 lakh per month or more, with rates agreed per role; permanent placement is charged at 6% of the hire's annual CTC after the person joins. The candidate-facing platform is free. Hookpost uses flat monthly or yearly SaaS subscriptions rather than per-channel fees.
