Technical experience
Engineers in the same discipline review real code and pair on a task in the candidate’s stack. AI tools welcome. We assess how they think, not just what compiles.
Communication and collaboration
Live pairing shows how they work through problems together. Calls with two former teammates reveal what it’s like to ship with them, and what they’d hire them for again.
Relevant work
We look for shipped systems, real repos, and production experience. Every engagement starts with a two-week working trial. Not a fit? You don’t pay, and we re-match.
