Technical assessment that predicts on-the-job performance
Structured tech assessment focused on real-world engineering thinking. Live-coding with reverse engineering, pet-project walkthroughs, situational cases. Same framework for candidates and current employees considered for promotion.
What we measure (and what we deliberately don't)
Tech assessment that predicts real-world performance, not interview performance. We test for the thinking pattern, not for whether someone memorised LeetCode.
Decision-making in ambiguity
How does the candidate reason when the spec is incomplete? What signal do they pick up on first? Where do they push back vs. assume?
Context of prior decisions
Not "what technology did you use" — "why this and not that, at what point in the project, with what trade-off". Two paired "why" questions usually surface depth or surface knowledge.
Reverse engineering
15 minutes reading someone else's code (not yours, not theirs). What's happening, what would you change. Cannot be prepared in advance — surfaces real engineering intuition.
Pet project walkthrough
Screen-share through the candidate's own pet project. Where do you store users, how do you handle errors, how do you test. 10 minutes of this beats an hour of abstract Q&A.
What we don't test
LeetCode-style algorithm tricks divorced from real work. Trivia about the language standard library. Whiteboard system-design without business context.
For current employees too
Same framework used for promotion decisions and project team formation — often more valuable than external hiring.
