The Problem

Traditional hiring is broken
in the AI era.

Candidates use AI to cheat. Recruiters drown in scheduling. Engineering teams lose weeks interviewing the wrong people.

72%
of take-home tests

Can now be completed by AI — making them completely meaningless as a hiring signal.

3–5 wks
Average time-to-hire

Wasted across multi-stage manual interview pipelines before any decision is made.

$15,000
Avg. cost per bad hire

Poor signal quality means companies hire wrong and pay dearly in lost productivity.
