Here we reveal the magic that turns thousands of candidates into 1.5% of the chosen ones, ready to make your next project a success.
Our rigorous vetting ensures your next hire is predictably easy, fast, and risk-free. We don't trust online tests, AI, or auto-screening software. Call it old-fashioned, but real people make your next hire happen.
Every candidate passes a thorough LinkedIn and portfolio check. We accept senior developers with proven commercial experience only.
A little over 10% of all screened profiles undergo a live interview. We test English fluency, communication skills, and validate if CV is true-to-life.
Only 3% reach the technical interview with the best senior developers from our community. All interviews are quality controlled to ensure high standards.
1.5%—literally the best of the best—are listed on the platform with all their skills, experience, and achievements validated and well-organized.
Since 2015, after screening thousands of candidates, we've found how to filter for developers who can get things done without babysitting.
Not on paper, but real commercial experience with the required stack. Our developers know how to put theory into practice, and prove it by solving realistic problems on technical interviews.
No chance to pass our screening with a nice rehearsed speech. We test communication skills from small talk to complex collaboration role-playing. Our developers are a pleasure to work with.
Non-responsive or chronically late candidates get instantly eliminated. Our screening is intense and involves a lot of interactions within 2 short weeks. We don't give second chances to those who can't manage their time.
We follow similar steps to other platforms, but the most important is HOW we do it. Here's a sneak peek at our technical interview.
Not just a warm-up, but an actual screening stage
Developers who can't hold a casual conversation don't pass. We prioritize communication as it's key to problem-solving, not just closing tickets. We ensure our developers fit right into any team.
Resumes are cool, but we dig deeper
We explore how and why candidates used certain tools and technologies and how they tackled real-world challenges.
Tricky questions to see what candidates really know
We test data types, under-the-hood specifics, framework differences, and coding approaches. But we don't stop there—we also test if they've put that knowledge to practice.
Where the rubber meets the road
This is where a lot of candidates trip up. We throw real problems their way and watch how they think, how fast they move, and how they handle tough challenges.
How nerdy are they? We want to know!
We ask about the latest tech they're using, how they keep skills sharp, and what cool stuff they've brought to projects. If they're not geeking out about their craft, they're probably not the right fit.
We describe the best case scenario and put enormous effort to follow it. But we're honest about the challenges we encounter—though we never compromise on critical quality markers.
Sometimes we adopt a 'less theory, more practice' approach to spot potential gaps on practical problems and save time.
An average candidate has 30-40 skills. We check and show clients validated core stack only, with additional interviews available per-project.
If post-interview feedback isn't clear, we give candidates another chance with a different technical specialist.
If candidates have solid experience but don't rock small talk, we still give them a try and help with interview preparations.
Our interviewers are senior engineers and tech leads with hundreds of interviews behind their back. Here's how we maintain quality.
Our interviewers are senior engineers and tech leads with hundreds of interviews and successful projects behind their backs.
We record interviews for improvement, do regular performance checks, and handle peer-reviews and knowledge sharing.
If something goes wrong, we thoroughly investigate to spot what we missed, share findings, and ensure similar mistakes never happen again.
Strict score cards, evaluation sheets, and unified parameters ensure 100% fair and objective assessment.
We've been iterating our screening processes since 2015. We know how to make your next hire a success.
