Cohort 001 is forming
See the work before you hire.
Every candidate does one real task from your own to do list. We grade it and send you the score with the finished work attached. You read it before you book a single call.
Cohort 001
Take a slot.
9 of 10 company slots left. Your first hire is free.
How it works
Three steps. One number.
01
You send the job.
Send us the job description. We turn it into one real task, about an evening of work, based on what the role actually does. You approve it before anyone sees it.
02
They do the work.
Candidates work at home, on their own computer, with whatever tools they normally use. No puzzles, no whiteboard, no trick questions.
03
We grade it.
Our model reviews the work the way a senior engineer would and fixes what it finds. The fewer fixes it needs, the higher the score.
Sample report
This is what lands in your inbox.
One page per candidate. The score, what needed fixing, and the finished work. This example is made up to show the format.
Taste score
Strong. Would ship after one round of fixes.
What needed fixing
- 01
A timing mistake that let users slip past the limit. The kind of thing that shows up as a bill, not an error.
- 02
A leak that would slowly eat memory. Fine on day one, a restart every week by month three.
- 03
A missing response that tells apps when to retry. Asked for in the brief, easy to forget.
- 04
One case the tests never checked. The busiest moment, which is when it matters.
Employers get every fix marked on the work itself, with the reason for each one. So does the candidate.
$2,000 when you hire someone. Nothing if you don't.
No retainer, no monthly fee, nothing for candidates you pass on. The first ten companies place their first hire free. Engineers are never charged.

Questions
Short answers.
What if we don't hire anyone?
You pay nothing. The fee only exists when someone signs an offer.
Can candidates use AI?
Yes. Your team uses it at work, so a test that bans it measures the wrong thing.
Do I need to be technical to read the report?
No. Every fix is written in plain language, with why it matters. The score is one number out of 100.
How long does this take?
You send a job description and approve the task. Candidates spend an evening. Reports come back the same week.
Who does the grading?
A model built from the judgments of senior engineers. Every candidate on a task is measured the same way, which is what makes two scores comparable.
Why only ten companies?
Cohort 001 is small on purpose. Early scores mean more while there are few of them.
