About Us
Look, hiring is broken. Most companies waste 40% of their time on stuff that doesn't matter — filtering through garbage applications, scheduling conflicts, manual data entry. We built ByteStack because we got tired of watching smart people drown in bad processes. Started in Cluj-Napoca back in 2016, we've helped 47 companies actually enjoy their recruitment cycles. No fluff. No pretending this is rocket science. Just smarter tools that make hiring faster, fairer, and way less painful. Your recruiting team shouldn't need three coffee breaks just to schedule interviews.
Over time, we’ve built a reputation for reliability, quality, and clear communication. We treat each project as a partnership and aim for outcomes that last.
Our Mission & Our Vision
Our Mission
Cut recruitment time in half without cutting quality. We're here to give HR teams their sanity back — putting intelligent automation where it matters, keeping humans in charge of what counts. ByteStack handles the grunt work so you can focus on finding people who actually fit.
Our Vision
A world where hiring decisions rely on real data, not gut feelings. Where recruiters spend time with candidates, not spreadsheets. Where technology actually works for people instead of making everything harder. That's what we're building toward.
Our Core Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Actually Practical
We don't build features because they sound impressive in a pitch deck. Does it solve a real problem? Does it take more time than it saves? If the answer's no, we don't ship it. Boring sometimes beats clever.
Default to Honest
Our software isn't perfect. We tell you that. We tell you when a feature won't work for your company. We'll recommend a competitor's tool if it's better for what you need. Sounds dumb financially. But it builds actual trust.
People Over Pixels
The tech serves the hiring, not the other way around. Every feature gets tested by actual recruiters. Not surveys. Real people using the system for 40 hours a week. If they hate it, we change it.
Bias Is the Enemy
Unconscious hiring kills good candidates. We build tools that highlight credentials that matter, flag potential blind spots, and keep humans honest about why they're making decisions. Diversity isn't a checkbox.
Our Story
Started as a frustration project in 2016. Three of us kept hitting the same wall: every company we talked to hated their hiring process. Spreadsheets. Manual workflows. Candidates slipping through cracks. So we spent 18 months talking to real recruiters, not consultants. Built version one. It was rough. But it worked. Year two we landed our first paying client (shoutout to them for trusting early code). By 2019, we'd hit 31 customers. Then we nearly broke in 2021 trying to scale without breaking what made us different. We fixed that. Today, ByteStack powers recruitment at companies across Eastern Europe, and we're still obsessed with the same thing: making this actually work.

The people behind ByteStack

Built recruitment systems at two startups before realizing they were all kind of terrible. Spent 2015 interviewing 80+ HR teams about their actual problems. Hasn't stopped coding despite being officially management now.
Andrei Popescu
Head of Product
Former recruiter turned product person. Spent 6 years placing people before deciding he wanted to help everyone place people better. Refuses to add features unless they save time or improve hire quality.
