Create your company

Start on the web: Hotfix for Mac doesn’t create a company yet. Click Start free on hotfix.jobs. Onboarding has three steps:
  1. Your company, on Free unless you picked a paid plan on pricing. A Free company needs a verified work email on the same domain as its website. A personal email can still start a paid plan.
  2. How many jobs you’ll keep open, which picks your plan. See Plans and billing.
  3. Where you’ll work: Hotfix for Mac, Claude or ChatGPT, or the web.
Within a few minutes Hotfix fills in your profile from your website: your headline, description, size, funding stage, tech stack, benefits, and the rest, plus your logo. It only fills empty fields, so anything you type first stays. Check it before candidates see it: in Settings > Company each filled field says From your website until you save the profile or click Looks right, or ask your agent to check it with you.

​
Set up the rest by asking

Once your company exists, install Hotfix for Mac or add Hotfix to Claude or ChatGPT, and ask your agent to set up hiring. It goes one part at a time, skips what’s done, shows each change, and saves nothing until you say yes. It uses the setting-up skill. In Hotfix for Mac, Getting started in the sidebar lists what’s left, with a button for each.

​
Your careers page

Every company has a careers page on Hotfix at hotfix.jobs/companies/{slug}: your About, every open job by department and team, your tech stack and perks. See Company page.

​
Your emails

Hotfix sends five emails of its own at fixed moments: Decline, Interview invite, Offer, Application received, and Position closed. You can change any of them and keep your own, like a take-home or a reference check. See Email candidates. Mail goes out through Hotfix from your company’s address on Hotfix, as the person who pressed Send. Nobody connects a mailbox.

​
Connect your calendar

Hotfix books each interview on the calendar of the person who sends the invite, so connect yours before you invite anyone to talk. Each person who books interviews connects their own, on the web under Settings > Connections:
  • Google Calendar: sign in with Google and allow calendar access.
  • Microsoft 365: sign in with your work Microsoft account and allow calendar access. If your organization’s admin hasn’t approved Hotfix yet, Microsoft asks them to, once.
  • Zoom, if you’d rather meet there: one admin connection for the company.
Calendars are for interviews only; Hotfix never reads or sends your mail. Teammates you add to an interview get a calendar invite and don’t need to connect theirs. One person can be on Google and another on Microsoft.

​
What stays on the web

Your company’s name and logo, billing, and connecting a calendar or Zoom are on the web under Settings. Everything else you can ask your agent for.
