Lemonie’s evil twin

Applicants are exhausting.
Squish makes them disappear.

A free Chrome extension that auto-archives applicant follow-ups, drafts the rejection you were never going to send, and replaces every “just circling back!” with the soothing silence of corporate inevitability.

Free forever. No card required. No conscience required.

“Just checking in!” Auto-archived Sent at 4:47am PIPELINE

The problem

When candidates give you headaches.

Recruiting is hard enough without 47 “just circling back!” emails clogging your pipeline. Every applicant thinks they’re the one. Every applicant attaches a six-page cover letter. Every applicant has a follow-up question about culture fit.

Squish lightens the load by quietly archiving the noise so you can return to your real job: explaining to your CEO why the pipeline is empty.

73%
of recruiters report feeling “mildly annoyed” when an applicant responds to their rejection email with anything other than gratitude.

How it works

Here’s how Squish helps you.

No emotional labor. No difficult conversations. No need to actually read what they wrote.

Detects desperate follow-ups

Scans for keywords like “just checking in,” “wanted to circle back,” and “hope this finds you well” at 99.4% accuracy.

Reframes their subject line

“Following up on my application” becomes “Auto-archived 7 days ago.” Closure for everyone, technically.

One-click templated rejection

Fire off “we’ve decided to move forward with other candidates” in 14 languages without breaking flow state.

Leaves your conscience untouched

Squish never asks if you’re sure. It never asks why. It never asks anything. Like the best HR software.

Works automatically

You don’t even have to look. Set it once and let the silent treatment scale infinitely.

Integrates with everything

Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, Ashby, your therapist’s calendar. Wherever you outsource feelings, we’re there.

Privacy

Built with their privacy as a suggestion.

Squish reads every applicant’s LinkedIn, calculates their Desperation Index™ against industry benchmarks, and stores it in a shared recruiter database forever. Their personal information is indexed, scored, and cross-referenced across our partner network.

Compliant with vibes. Audited by us. GDPR? Sure.

Squish saved me from having to feel anything during a 400-applicant requisition. I haven’t opened my inbox in three weeks. I’ve never been more aligned.

Pre-Series B, vibes-driven

We posted a fake req on a Tuesday and had 2,000 leads in our ATS by Friday. The Pretend Hiring feature is the best growth marketing tool we’ve ever bought.
