At FoundersAreHiring, we believe great talent deserves signal not noise. To help surface high-quality, founder-led startup jobs, we use an automated crawler (the FAH Bot) to identify publicly listed opportunities across the web. This page explains what the bot does, how it works, and how we stay transparent and respectful in the way we gather job data.

The FAH Bot is a responsible, automated crawler developed by FoundersAreHiring.com to identify publicly listed startup jobs. It collects relevant opportunities posted on startup and company websites to enrich our curated listings.
Our mission is to help founders and experienced talent connect directly without recruiter noise or generic job boards.
We only access publicly available job listings and metadata such as:
We do not collect personal data, paywall-protected content, or any non-public information.
- Role titles
- Company names & public descriptions
- Location info
- Publicly accessible job descriptions
- Salary information
- No scraping behind login walls
- No form submissions
- No personal data collection
- No recruiter listings
Startup hiring is broken by bloat and middlemen.
We curate high-quality, founder-led jobs weekly. The bot helps us:
