How Tom runs Story Recruitment on AI.
Tom didn’t want another tool. He wanted his hours back, his inbox under control, and his voice scaling without him. So we built him FounderClaw.
I like to think of myself as relatively techy, but I never could have set up FounderClaw by myself without spending far too much time on it. Hourglass were fantastic in getting it set up for me, listening to exactly what I want and then making it a reality.
Less than a month in
I work in recruitment, so having an assistant that works 24/7 - finding hiring signals, high-potential candidates, and booking in calendar invites via voice instructions - is invaluable. In less than a month it would’ve saved me days of worktime. I’m certain that FounderClaw will make me more effective, more productive, and make more money. 💰
Tom Hunter
Founder, Story Recruitment
Four agents. One business brain.
Tom runs four FounderClaw agents, each connected to a shared Story Recruitment brain that knows his clients, candidates, voice and history.
Chief of Staff
Internal strategy + planningBriefs Tom on the day, surfaces blockers from the team, drafts internal comms in his voice. Pulls context from the Story Recruitment brain so every output is on-strategy.
Catches the things Tom would have missed at 11pm on a Sunday.
Candidate-facing assistant
Email + calendar for candidatesHandles invites, queries, and immediate responses for Story Recruitment candidates. Sounds like Tom. Knows the role context. Books calls without bouncing back for clarification.
Hits the 24-hour response window every time, even when Tom is in back-to-back interviews.
LinkedIn content engine
Voice-matched posts on demandTom dumps a raw thought; the agent shapes it into a post in his voice using a pattern library of viral recruitment content. He approves or tweaks, then ships.
100+ likes at a 40% rate. Posts that used to take an hour now take five minutes.
Meeting brain
Notes, action items, follow-upsJoins every meeting, captures the structured notes, extracts action items, routes them where they need to go. Tom closes the laptop with nothing left to write up.
No more 'what did we agree?' Slack threads three days later.
Tom’s Tuesday, on FounderClaw.
Five touchpoints across a normal workday. Each one used to take Tom an hour. Now they take minutes, or happen without him.
7:42 AM
The morning brief is already waiting
Chief of Staff has summarised yesterday's open threads, flagged a candidate who hasn't replied in 6 days, and queued three decisions Tom needs to make before standup.
9:15 AM
Inbox triaged, drafts ready
47 overnight emails sorted. 12 candidate replies drafted in Tom's voice. Tom approves 10, tweaks 2, sends in 4 minutes flat.
11:30 AM
Candidate call, fully briefed
Pre-call dossier dropped into Tom's calendar invite: candidate's history, the role context, the questions Story Recruitment usually asks for this kind of placement.
2:00 PM
A LinkedIn post, shipped in 5 minutes
Tom voice-notes a half-formed idea on his walk. By the time he's back at his desk, the post is drafted, attached to a strong opening hook, and ready to ship.
5:30 PM
Day closed, nothing dangling
Meeting brain has wrapped every call, action items routed, tomorrow's brief queued. Tom closes the laptop on time for the first time in months.
Indicative day, based on Tom’s typical FounderClaw usage.
Same Tom. Different week.

After FounderClaw
Inbox triaged before he opens it. Drafts waiting for approval.
Morning voice note becomes a published LinkedIn post by 11am.
Every candidate gets a response inside 24 hours, even on packed days.
Meeting brain catches every commitment. Action items routed automatically.
