Test software candidates on real work before you put them forward.
Send your shortlist through a short work trial. Each candidate does real tasks with an AI engineering team. You see the code they write, how they respond to feedback, and how well they explain their choices.
Alex is a level above Maria, but Maria earned more points this week. A level shows how well someone works. Points show how much effort they put in.
AI makes every CV look good. That makes vetting harder.
You can't tell who did the work.
AI can write the CV and the take-home test. 65% of hiring managers struggle to check skills (Robert Half, 2026).
A work trial shows the code each candidate submitted, how they handled feedback on it, and how they explained their decisions.
More applicants, and some are fake.
1 in 4 candidate profiles could be fake by 2028 (Gartner).
Candidates explain their own code out loud in a walkthrough. Someone standing in for them, or a copied answer, does not hold up. Use it alongside your usual identity check.
A bad placement costs your client.
Good vetting is what your clients pay you for.
A hiring report compares candidates side by side: level, points and the work behind them. You put forward people you can stand behind.
How a work trial works.
A work trial lasts 3 to 5 days, about 2 hours a day. That is short enough to be fair to candidates and long enough to see how they work.
Invite
Send each candidate on your shortlist a link. All they need is a GitHub account.
Kickoff
Adaeze, the AI engineering manager, runs a short first meeting and gives them their first task in a real project.
Build and review
Lars, the AI staff engineer, reviews every piece of code they submit. You see who fixes what he asks for, and how.
Walkthrough
Before a task is marked done, the candidate explains what they built and why.
Report
You get a hiring report for each candidate, and a side-by-side view of the whole shortlist.
What the hiring report shows you.
The report is shared only with the candidate's consent. Candidates keep their code and the level they earn.
Tasks and code submitted
What they finished, and how long it took to submit their first code.
Every code review
What Lars asked them to change, and how they responded.
Walkthrough answers
Whether they can explain what they built and why.
Level across eight skills
With the note behind each rating.
Points
The effort they showed, so two people at the same level can be told apart.
How they asked for help
Their messages to the AI engineering manager and teammates.

Plans are monthly and priced per trial. Inviting candidates is free: you only pay for trials that start.
