The litmus test forengineering talent

Watch candidates build real features on your codebase. AI captures every decision, scores every line, and tells you who can actually ship.

Technical interviews no longer predict job performance.

01

Engineers use AI daily, but interviews ban it

Every engineer ships with AI. Your interview should reflect how they actually work.

02

Vetting candidates takes valuable time

Engineers want to build products, not spend hours reviewing take-homes for AI-generated code.

03

Take-homes are unstructured and unscalable

No standardization, no visibility into process, no way to compare candidates fairly.

04

Work trials are the gold standard, but don’t scale

The best signal is watching someone do the work. We make that possible for every candidate.

“We don't just check if the code works. We measure how they think.”
Our Solution

What We Measure

psychology

Verification Depth

Do they look past surface-level correctness? We track if candidates test edge cases, check for scale issues, and validate AI-generated code.

account_tree

Architectural Reasoning

Do they understand the system as a whole? We measure how candidates reason about code organization, dependencies, and maintainability.

edit_note

Spec-Driven Approach

Do they plan before coding? We detect if candidates write specs, define requirements, or break down problems before prompting AI.

smart_toy

AI Interrogation Skill

Do they treat AI as an oracle or an intern? We score prompt quality, context-setting, output verification, and iteration on AI suggestions.

bug_report

Debugging Methodology

Systematic or random? We track how candidates diagnose issues—do they read errors, isolate variables, or just re-prompt AI hoping for a fix?

shield

Quality Gate Awareness

Do they set up linting, type checking, error handling, and testing? Senior engineers establish guardrails before writing code.

Live & Replay

Watch live.

RUBRIC-BASED EVALUATION
The Platform

Three Steps to Clarity

01. Connect & Configure

Link your GitHub repo or choose from templates. Define custom evaluation criteria. Invite candidates with a single link.

const assessment = {
repo: 'your-org/your-repo',
rubric: customCriteria,
timeLimit: 120
};

02. Candidates Build

A browser-based IDE with AI assistant, terminal, and live preview. No local setup required. They build, debug, and refactor real code.

await sandbox.start(candidate);
// Recording every interaction...
// AI assistant available...

03. Review & Score

AI scores every submission against your criteria. See the full code diff, recording timeline, and behavioral signals at a glance.

return {
score: 87,
