Founder's Dilemma: the hiring game
You're the founder of a startup. A line of candidates and curveballs is at your door. Swipe right or left to hire or pass. Survive as many weeks as you can.
How to play
- Drag the card right (yes) or left (no), or tap a button below it. On a computer use the ← and → keys.
- Every decision moves four meters: cash, morale, product and reputation.
- If any meter hits 0 or 100 your startup fails. The goal is balance.
- The game has 28 cards: candidates to hire or pass on, and dilemmas such as a counteroffer, layoffs, remote work or a team complaint.
Why hiring is hard
In real life good hires are not a gut feeling: they come from how well a candidate fits the role, the team and the culture. Jobflick scores every match on skills, culture fit and personality and shows it transparently to candidate and employer before they apply or hire.
