Who you'll hire

Engineers with real skill, who know when the AI is wrong.

  1. 01

    Strong engineering fundamentals

    They read unfamiliar code, find the real cause, and make sound decisions under ambiguity. Not just syntax recall.

  2. 02

    Fluent with AI

    They direct the AI with clear intent and get to working code faster, the way your team works today.

  3. 03

    Catch its mistakes

    They review every change, reject the wrong ones, and fix what the AI missed. This is the signal resumes and puzzles can't show.

Can you catch the AI? It wrote this fix. Would you apply it?

How it works

Your Round 1, run on real work.

01

A codebase built for your role

Create a position with the role, seniority and stack. We build a production grade codebase for it, with a real bug to fix and distractor code that looks guilty but isn't.

02

AI writes, the candidate decides

There is no manual editor. The AI writes every change, but it will not diagnose the bug for them. Candidates find the cause, direct the fix, and apply or reject each proposed change.

The AI writes every change. The candidate finds the cause and decides what to apply.

03

Proctored end to end

A system check and start photo before they begin. The camera runs on the candidate's device throughout, flagging phones, extra people and signs of automation, with photo proof.

04

A report you can defend

A score out of 100 built on code correctness and depth of understanding, a hiring recommendation, and a replay of every instruction they gave the AI.
