Hiring is broken

AI-generated applications have flooded inboxes. You can't tell who's genuine anymore.

3x
more applications per hire

Applications have nearly tripled since 2021, burying quality candidates in noise.

75%
use AI to write applications

Most candidates now use AI tools, making every application sound identical.

23hrs
wasted per hire screening

Recruiters spend days reading CVs that lead nowhere.

Three steps to better hiring

Create a role, share your link, and let quality rise to the top.

01

Create an assessment

Choose written or code challenges. Use our templates or write your own question that tests what actually matters.

02

Share your link

Candidates complete the assessment before uploading their CV. We invisibly track authenticity signals in the background.

03

Review authentic candidates

See responses grouped by effort level. Reveal CVs only for candidates who impress you with their work.

Know if they wrote it themselves

We invisibly track behavioural signals. Candidates never see their effort signals, so they can't game the system.

Time spent

2 minutes vs 15 minutes tells you everything about effort and engagement.

Edit patterns

Real writing has revisions and corrections. Copy-paste doesn't.

Paste awareness

See how much of a response was typed versus pasted from elsewhere.

Typing rhythm

Humans type with natural rhythm and variance. Pasted text doesn't.

Focus tracking

See whether candidates stayed focused or frequently switched away during the assessment.

Effort bands

High, Moderate, or Low effort bands combine all signals so you can focus on engaged candidates.

Simple, transparent pricing

Flexible plans for every hiring need.
