One role definition, carried all the way through.

Agree on what a role is, together, once. Throughline turns that agreement into the job description, job ad, interview guide, check-in guide and goals, and keeps them in step when the role changes.

The same role, written five different ways

A job description written for HR. A job ad written in a hurry. Interview questions someone found online. A check-in form from three years ago. Goals in a spreadsheet. Each was written on its own, so each says something a little different about the job, and nobody notices until a hire or a review goes sideways.

How it works

Everything starts from one place: the role definition the people who own the role have agreed on.

  1. An interview captures the role

    Throughline asks plain questions, simple first and deeper when you're ready. It decides what to ask next; AI only words the questions and turns your answers into proposals you accept or change. You can always edit directly.

  2. One agreed role definition

    Why the role exists, the outcomes it owns, its responsibilities, decision rights and key relationships, its pay band, and what a good fit looks like.

  3. Documents drawn from it

    The job description, job ad, hiring interview guide and check-in guide are written from the role definition, and each cites the parts of the role it came from.

    • Job description
    • Job ad
    • Hiring interview guide
    • Check-in guide

  4. Goals that trace back to it

    Quarterly and yearly goals, worked out between an employee and their manager, tied to the outcomes the role owns, in the goal framework you already use.

    • Quarterly goals
    • Yearly goals
Stale

When the role changes, you'll know what to update.

Change an outcome or a responsibility and Throughline marks every document written before the change as stale, so you fix them now instead of finding out at the next hire.

Built for the room, not the back office

Throughline is meant to be open on the big screen in a hiring meeting or an executive planning session, with everyone looking at the same role.

  • Presentation mode

    Large type and high contrast, readable from the back of the room. Private content, like pay bands, stays hidden.

  • Safe to edit live

    Changes become proposals until the role's owners accept them, so trying an idea in a meeting never rewrites the role by accident.

  • The whole chart in view

    Seats, open roles and who reports to whom, so overlaps and gaps between roles come up while the right people are in the room.

Consistency at a glance

Every document shows where it stands against its role, with an icon and a word as well as a color.

In sync
Matches the current role definition.
Stale
The role changed after this was written. Review it and bring it up to date.
Contradiction
Says something the role definition doesn't, such as a different manager or decision right.
Gap
Something the role needs isn't covered, or nobody owns it.

Who it's for

Small and mid-size companies, roughly 25 to 500 people, where roles grow faster than anyone writes them down. We're starting with trades and construction: industry packs give you ready-made roles, like Project Manager, Estimator and Superintendent, to start from and make your own.

Fewer than 25 people? It works for you too, with fewer roles to agree on.

Over 500 people? Let's talk

Guides, not records

Throughline helps you decide what a role is and how to talk about it. It deliberately keeps out of the files about people.

  • No candidate data

    Throughline builds interview guides. It never stores candidates, interview feedback, or evaluation notes or scores.

  • As little about employees as possible

    People appear in their seats on the chart. Throughline isn't an HR file, and it keeps as little about them as it can.

  • Pay bands describe roles

    Never individuals. They're restricted to the people who need them by default, and hidden in presentation mode.

Questions

Who counts as a paid user?

Owners, admins and editors. Members, who view the org chart and role definitions and take part in goal conversations they're invited to, are free. When someone's role changes or they leave, your seat count follows, prorated.

Does it replace our HR system or applicant tracking system?

No. Throughline isn't an HR back office: no payroll, time off, compliance files, candidate pipelines or résumés. It sits upstream of those, defining the roles they refer to.

What does the AI do?

It words interview questions, turns your answers into proposals you accept or change, and drafts documents from your role definition. Generated text is marked until a person approves it. If an answer turns out to be about a specific candidate or how a specific employee is doing, Throughline doesn't keep it and asks the question again.

What happens after the trial?

Your subscription starts on the monthly or yearly plan you picked when you began the trial. If it doesn't start, or it ends, your company becomes read-only: you can still read and present everything, and your data is kept for 90 days.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime. Owners manage the subscription, including cancelling it, from Settings in the app.

Is our data kept apart from other companies?

Yes. Every company's data is separated in the database itself, with row-level security on every company table, so one company's queries can't reach another's rows.

Start with one role

Pick the role everyone describes a little differently, run the interview with the people who own it, and see what comes out.
