The problem
Great engineers are expensive. Bad hires cost even more.
U.S. engineering teams face rising domestic costs, noisy hiring channels, and too much senior time spent screening weak signal.
Weak hiring signal
Résumés and keyword screens do not reveal system judgment, ownership, or delivery readiness.
Operational hiring burden
Senior engineers lose valuable time screening, coordinating, and recovering from poor-fit hires.
The opportunity is not cheaper talent. It is better access to exceptional talent through a more efficient operating model.
Dual evaluation
Two operator-owned gates. Then your calendar.
Visual proof of the bar — not a résumé marketplace screen.
Technical gate
Architecture · code · delivery
Led by our AI Engineer. Depth over keywords — system design, craft, and ownership under real constraints.
- System design and tradeoff clarity
- Code quality and production judgment
- Delivery ownership when constraints bite
Behavioral gate
Communication · resilience · fit
Led by our Psychologist. Psychology-informed structured interviews — so technical excellence arrives with human reliability.
- English clarity with U.S. stakeholders
- Ownership, collaboration, and calm under pressure
- Cultural fit for how your team actually works
-
01
Role map
We map stack, seniority, and what “excellent” means on your team — constraints included.
-
02
Dual gates
Technical interview by our AI Engineer. Psychology-informed behavioral interview by our Psychologist. Most candidates never proceed.
-
03
You interview · we stay
You meet only people who cleared both gates. After selection, the partnership continues.
[ 03 ] How it works
From kickoff call to first commit in 21 days.
A deliberate operating cadence — not a résumé flood.
-
Discovery
A 30-minute call to understand your stack, timeline, and culture. We define the role together.
-
Shortlist
Within 5 business days, you receive 3–5 hand-matched candidates with technical assessments.
-
Interview
Run your own loop. We coordinate scheduling, provide structured feedback templates.
-
Embed
Offer, paperwork, equipment, onboarding. Your new engineer is in standup by week three.
