How hiring works
Screened on real work
Send the brief
The role, the hours and the tools. A job ad is enough.
Get 3 to 5 profiles
Screened candidates for your role, free.
A live task, then a paid trial
Real work with a deadline, then a trial under NDA. You decide based on the work.
Month to month
Keep them on your team with no placement fee. Add people as the work grows.
The live task we set
For a data role the candidate shares a screen and is asked to pull a hotel search's results, the name and the price of each hotel, by reverse-engineering the site's own API calls instead of driving a browser. At millions of requests a day a browser driver is not a production answer, so the task rules it out. The candidate then usually has 24 hours to send a working approach, and what we read first is the thinking, not the finished script.
