At EWN Bangladesh, we built HrClerks ATS to fix our own hiring mess. Here’s how using our own product helped us streamline recruitment, collaborate better, and scale our hiring — without the chaos.
— A Story from the Team Behind the Product
When we first began building HrClerks ATS, the goal wasn’t just to launch another SaaS product — it was to solve a problem we faced every day at EWN Bangladesh Limited, our own software development company.
As a growing team constantly juggling active projects and tight delivery timelines, hiring the right people quickly (and without breaking process) was a challenge. We had job applications coming in through LinkedIn, email, and personal networks — and no real system to manage it all.
So, we decided to fix it — for ourselves first.
At EWN, we needed something that could:
We couldn’t find a tool that truly aligned with our workflow. Either it was too bloated, too expensive, or too focused on large HR departments. So, we built HrClerks.
Here's how the platform fits into our daily hiring operations:
Every job post includes carefully crafted screening questions. This alone saved us hours per role — no more reading irrelevant resumes.
We no longer lose track of great candidates. If someone isn’t a fit right now, they’re one click away from being added to our Talent Pool for future roles.
Our hiring team includes the MD (me), a project manager, and a team lead — all with different levels of access and focus. HrClerks lets us collaborate without stepping on each other’s toes.
We see the full picture of each hiring process. No more asking, “Did anyone follow up with that candidate?” Everything is visible and logged.
We embedded our branded career page right on our website. It's clean, minimal, and takes minutes to set up.
Building a product is one thing. Using it in production daily is another. By using HrClerks ourselves, we:
HrClerks has become an essential part of our hiring toolkit. It’s not perfect yet, but it’s real, battle-tested, and constantly improving — because we use it just like our users do.
We’re currently working on:
Every feature we plan is driven by something we’ve experienced firsthand while hiring at EWN.
Building HrClerks has made us better at hiring — not just as a product team, but as a company.
If you're running a startup or a lean team and hiring feels more chaotic than it should — give HrClerks a try. We built it for ourselves, and we’re pretty sure it’ll work for you too.
Manual CV screening slows hiring, increases candidate drop-off, and creates inefficiencies that hurt growing teams. This blog breaks down why HR teams often lose top talent during manual screening and how HrClerks ATS helps modernize and automate the recruitment process.

Let’s face it—hiring is already hard enough. But if you’re running a small or mid-sized business (SMB), it’s also dangerously easy to mess up. One wrong hire, one ghosted candidate, one unread email thread buried under a hundred Slack messages… and boom 💥 —you’ve lost weeks of productivity and maybe even your best shot at growth.
