How we're different

We're a third-party technical recruiter, but not like ones you've worked with before.

Unlike most firms, we do thorough first-round interviews ourselves. That means weak engineers can't coast on a polished resume, and it means we can find great engineers who no one else will give the time of day.

We've built some of the world's foremost engineering assessments, and we've interviewed thousands of engineers. (More on that here.)

Here's why you should work with us:

1 No risk

You only pay us if you make a hire, and we don't firehose you with weak candidates.

The most you can lose is a couple of bad interviews. The most you can gain is a great engineer you didn't have to find or do early screenings for.

2 Less work

Your engineers are tired of doing a bunch of early tech screens with weak candidates. When you work with our candidates, they don't have to.

Everyone we send you has already passed a rigorous full interview - 90 minutes over a video call with a senior engineer. (See here for more on why you should trust our interviewing expertise.)

3 High pass rates

We work with early-stage startups (mostly funded by Y Combinator and other top investors), which are very selective about who they hire, and still maintain above-background passrates even with abbreviated processes and often non-traditional candidates.

4 Talent others can't find

Because we do screenings ourselves, we can look for talent where no one else is. That's why we can find YC-caliber engineers where no one else is looking.
