Our 7-Step Vetting Process
Our 7-step vetting process filters for more than just code skills. We evaluate mindset, communication, problem-solving, and proven impact - so you get engineers who deliver from day one.
Step 1
Experience & Background Review
We begin with a deep review of each candidate's background and resume.
  • 3+ years of hands-on development experience
  • Proven delivery in production environments
  • Strong alignment with modern tech stacks and startup needs
  • No generic resumes, we look for impact and depth
Outcome: We filter out weak fits early, saving time and effort.
Step 2
English & Communication Check
We assess whether the developer can work independently and communicate clearly in a distributed team.
  • Live English fluency check
  • 2-minute async Loom video simulating a client update
  • Written communication and responsiveness evaluation
Outcome: Only developers who can work autonomously and communicate like a remote teammate move forward.
Step 3
Role-Specific Technical Challenge
Developers complete a practical task based on their role - focused on real-world, production-ready skills.
  • Frontend:
    Build a dynamic, responsive UI using modern component architecture and state management
  • Backend:
    Develop a secure, scalable API with database integration and clean logic
  • Full Stack:
    Deliver a complete feature across frontend and backend layers
  • Data/DevOps:
    Build an ETL pipeline or deploy infrastructure with CI/CD and cloud tools
  • AI/ML:
    Create and deploy a working ML pipeline with proper data prep, model training, and evaluation
Outcome: We confirm job-readiness using real-world tasks.
Step 4
Live Technical Interview
Our senior engineers conduct a 1-on-1 deep-dive session to assess technical judgment and problem-solving.
  • System design and architecture discussion
  • Code walkthrough or debugging scenarios
  • Evaluation of trade-offs, scalability thinking, and clarity
Outcome: Confirms the candidate can think critically, communicate clearly, and make sound technical decisions in real-world scenarios.
Step 5
Codebase & Portfolio Evaluation
Where possible, we audit the candidate’s real past work (GitHub, apps, or client projects).
  • Code structure and modularity
  • Commit discipline and test coverage
  • Reusability, comments, and deployment readiness
Outcome: We get real proof of capability, not just test scores.
Step 6
Tagging & Match Precision
Once approved, each developer is added to our CV pool with detailed tags:
  • Stack expertise
  • Timezone and availability
  • Strengths (e.g. MVP builder, scale engineer, DevOps)
  • Soft skill profile and communication rating
Outcome: When you make a request, we respond with a precisely matched, client-ready developer, usually within 7 days.
Step 7
Continuous Feedback Loop
Our vetting doesn’t stop at placement. We maintain feedback loops and performance tracking to ensure ongoing alignment.
  • Check-ins during the first few weeks
  • Quick replacement guarantee if needed
  • Feedback incorporated into vetting refinement
Outcome: You're never stuck. We're accountable beyond the match.
