Technical interviews as a service

    If you already have candidates but not the engineer time to interview them, our panel runs the technical round for you. An engineer from AlgoSmiths interviews each candidate for 60 minutes against your scorecard and writes a one-page report with a recommended level and a clear recommendation.

    A good fit if

    • Teams with recruiters or inbound applicants but stretched engineers
    • Hiring managers who want a consistent first technical round
    • Companies hiring in a stack or discipline they don't have in-house yet

    Not the right service for

    • Final-round or culture-fit interviews: those stay with your team
    • Automated coding tests without a human interviewer
    • Non-technical interviews

    How it works

    1. 1

      Agree the scorecard

      We build the interview plan and scorecard with you for each role, so every candidate is judged on the same things.

    2. 2

      You send candidates

      Share profiles and availability. We schedule the interview directly with the candidate.

    3. 3

      The interview

      A 60-minute technical interview by an engineer matched to the role, using that role's scorecard: code and design, an incident scenario, a broken pipeline or a threat model.

    4. 4

      Report within a working day

      You get the written report: what was tested, strengths, gaps, recommended level and a hire or no-hire recommendation.
