Junior hiring is broken

The signals relied on don't reflect real engineering ability.

Resumes under a microscope

Resumes are easy to inflate.

Portfolios are easy to fake.

Coding tests only measure if the solution works.

Interviews introduce bias before candidates get a fair chance.

What we evaluate in every candidate

We don't just tell you who passed. We show you how they think and build.

Can they work through constraints?

We evaluate whether candidates can follow specifications, handle edge cases, and deliver within defined boundaries.

Can they make sound technical decisions?

We assess how candidates navigate trade-offs, recognise the limits of their own solution, and communicate their reasoning.

Can another engineer build on their work?

We review code structure, git commits, and documentation to ensure other engineers can maintain and extend the work.

How it works

The entire process takes three days.
