Employer Brand on a Budget: The 2026 Mid-Market Playbook

You don't need a brand agency or a Super Bowl ad. You need three things, done consistently, for nine months. Here's the playbook our top-performing customers actually run.

Glossary
ATS vs HRIS

ATS handles pre-hire (candidates). HRIS handles post-hire (employees). Many modern platforms do both.

JD Template
Recruiter (Talent Partner) JD template

We're hiring a Recruiter (Talent Partner) to run full-cycle hiring across multiple roles. You'll work in a small, senior team that ships, owns its outcomes, and treats teammates and candidates with respect.

Interview Qs
Software Engineer interview questions

Twenty structured interview questions for Software Engineer roles, mixing behavioural, technical, situational, and values. Score 1–5 per question, calibrate independently before debate.

Best ATS
Best ATS for Small Businesses

Small businesses don't have a recruiter, an HRBP, or budget for three HR tools. Screeq is one platform, run by anyone — owner, ops, office manager.

vs Competitor
Screeq vs Greenhouse

Greenhouse is the gold standard ATS for series-B-and-up tech companies. It also stops at offer-accept and hands you off to a separate HRIS.
