How We Reimagined Developer Assessment: From Resumes to Voice AI Interviews

We've thought long and hard about how to properly assess developers.

And we've come to an uncomfortable conclusion:

• 📄 resumes are noise
• 🧠 interview answers are often prepared
• 🤖 and classic tests are easily bypassed with AI

That's why we're building a different system.

🔍 How the New Assessment Will Work

We are moving away from "trusting words" → to skill evidence:

• analysis of code and reactions to errors
• verification of logical thinking, not just the result
• assessment of answer depth in real-time
• several independent AI assessments
• a final calibrated score, not an "interviewer's feeling"

👉 Key idea: it's not what the candidate said, but how they think that matters.

🎤 Next Step - Voice Screening

We are currently preparing to launch voice interviews (beta is already internal).

What this will provide:

• live dialogue instead of forms
• skill verification without "prepared answers"
• analysis of terminology, pauses, confidence
• dynamic questions tailored to the candidate
• identification of "hallucinations" and embellished experience

👉 Essentially, this isn't "a bot asking questions," but AI conducting a technical interview like an engineer.

⚙️ What's Important

This isn't just recruiter automation.

This is an attempt to build a system that:

• learns from hiring outcomes itself
• understands the real skill level, not just the resume
• and over time becomes more accurate than any human

We are currently testing internally. Access will soon be opened to early specialists.
