Our Vetting Process

We don’t just forward resumes. Every candidate goes through

  1. Deep Screening

    We look beyond resumes to assess real experience, communication, and product thinking

  2. Technical Assessment

    Each candidate completes a stack-specific challenge. Reviewed by experienced engineers.

  3. Interview

    We test async communication, autonomy, and ability to contribute to product-driven teams.

  4. Final Match

    We only introduce candidates we’d personally want to work with.
