For Startups
Your first 10 engineers will define everything.
Hire founder-direct with on-demand technical assessments. Prove every engineer before you offer — and stop gambling your runway on resumes.
Why Startup Hiring Breaks
Three things destroy early-stage hiring. We fix all of them.
Runway burns faster than hires arrive
Agency retainers and 90-day search processes don't match a 12-month runway. You need verified candidates in days, not quarters.
Founders aren't recruiters
You're shipping product, not screening CVs. The process has to work without an HR team — because you don't have one.
Resumes lie. Assessments don't.
A bad first engineering hire costs roughly three months of runway. Stop hoping a CV is accurate. Start verifying with structured technical assessments.
Assessments, on tap.
Buy tokens. Deploy any domain assessment. Pay only for what you evaluate. No retainer, no subscription, no expert required.
Token-based pricing
Pay per assessment. Nothing recurring, no minimums, no seats. Top up when you need to evaluate someone.
Built by domain experts
Cybersecurity, AI, software, cloud, data, blockchain — each assessment is authored and peer-reviewed by people who actually work in the field.
Same scoring everyone uses
Compare candidates against the same rubric, side-by-side. Remove gut-feel from your hiring loop.
Plug into any pipeline
Use them in Console, attach to a Crowdcruiting brief, or send a link to a candidate you sourced yourself on LinkedIn.
Two ways. One source of truth.
Hire founder-direct or hand it off.
Both paths use the same assessment engine. The only choice is how much you want to delegate.
