What problem does it solve?
Helps startups decide how to hire their first employees by clarifying which employment contract types fit the situation, what the real cost is, and what risks to avoid.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Contract type guidance: Compares indefinite, training-based contracts (alternance and professional practice), and limited temporary contracts with the relevant constraints and practical implications.
- Collective agreement selection: Explains how to identify the applicable collective agreement based on the company’s main activity (not the employee’s role).
- Real cost estimation: Provides an approach to estimate employer total cost (salary plus employer Social Security contributions) and highlights additional cost categories and items that must be verified.
- Alternatives with risk awareness: Covers when to consider freelancers and interns, including key pitfalls like false self-employment and missing internship agreements.
- Risk-focused output: Produces a draft-ready hiring guide and flags items marked for verification so the user knows what must be checked with a labor advisor or HR professional.
