Niels van der Linde — CEO

I’ve been building hiring systems that remove randomness for 6+ years, across 400+ hires. After building a successful 100M+ views media company, I became obsessed with a different challenge in hiring: Why is remote hiring still so slow & expensive? Now I’m building Upscale: An AI-powered hiring engine that helps fast-growing teams hire pre-vetted remote engineers in days, not weeks. What we optimize for: • 3–5 qualified candidates in 3–7 days • Fewer low-signal profiles • 2–3 interview rounds max • Higher offer acceptance (+10–20%) • Speed without churn If you’re actively hiring a remote engineer, happy to compare hiring systems and see if we can deliver faster.
