Technical assessment with feedback that counts.
Independent experts assess engineers in a live interview and write a report with a recommendation, for better hiring decisions.
What the assessment delivers
A live interview of 60 to 90 minutes, conducted by an independent expert, and a report that the employer and the talent can both read.

Screening process
Every talent passes three stages: a self-assessment of their own skills, an HR screening and the vetting by an independent expert in the live interview. You see the result of all three stages in the report.
- Self-assessment: the talent rates and comments on their own skills, which shortens the interview
- HR screening: profile, availability, expectations and language
- Vetting by an independent expert: 60 to 90 minutes of live interview, from simple to complex
-
Independent, unbiased experts
Our interviewers have five or more years of engineering experience and have conducted dozens of interviews across industries. They work with best practice, guidelines and our infrastructure, so that every assessment runs consistently and in the same quality, independent of the employer and of the talent.
200+ experts in the network, as of 2024
5+ years of engineering experience per interviewer
