How we vet
Only the engineers we'd hire ourselves.
Vetting is the part of offshore hiring that usually goes wrong, so it's the part we own. Every engineer clears this before they reach you — now including a real AI-assisted engineering assessment.

sourced candidates pass

you interview only the best
01 / The process
Eight gates.
Miss one, and they don't reach your inbox.
CV & GitHub review
We read the work, not just the résumé — real repos, commit history, open-source, and side projects. Signal over keywords.
Technical interview
A senior engineer probes fundamentals and depth in the candidate's core stack. No trivia; real understanding.
Practical task
A scoped, realistic problem that mirrors day-to-day work — reviewed for correctness, structure, and judgement.
AI-assisted coding
How they work with Cursor, Claude, and agents. We hire engineers who are faster and sharper with modern tooling.
Architecture & problem-solving
System design and trade-off conversations to see how they reason under ambiguity and at scale.
AI-assisted engineering
A real task with Claude, Codex, and Cursor allowed — we watch how they prompt, what they delegate, what they verify, what they blindly accept, and how they debug failures. AI + strong human beats either alone.
Communication
Written and spoken English, clarity, and async habits — evaluated throughout, because it makes or breaks remote work.
References
Backchannel checks with people who've actually shipped alongside them. The last gate before you meet them.
02 / What this means for you
Less risk, better hires.
You interview finalists only
By the time a candidate reaches you, they've already cleared eight gates. You spend time on decisions, not screening.
Communication is guaranteed
We won't forward someone who can't communicate clearly in English. It's a hard filter, not a nice-to-have.
Replacement guarantee
If a hire isn't working out, we replace them. Our vetting is on the line, so we take it seriously.
