Stop hiring FDEs on a gut call.
A forward deployed engineer is two people in one: an engineer and a client manager. We test both, before anyone reaches your team.
We screen the engineering depth and the customer-facing polish.
Code quality rating
Scored on input handling, architecture, and error handling, not algorithm puzzles.
AI collaboration trace
We map how they worked with AI during the challenge, not just the final diff.
Roleplayed discovery calls
A recorded call tests whether they push back on bad requirements, under pressure.
Product walkthrough demos
A structured walkthrough of their solution, recorded before you ever meet them.
Then we check it's real.
Git report card
Commit history traced for real, iterative work, not a single copy-paste dump.
LinkedIn authenticity check
Experience and network cross-checked against verifiable colleagues and history.
AI-synthesized resume summary
Reduced to stack, projects, and shipped outcomes, with the buzzwords cut.
All you do is review. We do the rest.
The actual working prototype, delivered inside their sandbox.
Recorded roleplay proving they can manage a client, not just write code.
Pre-vetted hires, ready for client deployment on day one.
Or skip the shortlist and ask me directly.
Before you pick a time
Thirty minutes, and I'll keep it to these three.
- 1
How you hire FDEs today
10 minYour process, your last bad hire, the req that stayed open too long. I mostly listen.
- 2
The vetting process, and where it's wrong
10 minThe challenge-based vetting on this site. Push back on it, that's the useful part.
- 3
Whether this is worth anything to you
10 minIf a vetted pipeline isn't worth much to you, say so and we save the half hour.
What this isn't: a demo, a pitch, or a sales call. I'm working out whether this is worth building, so bring a real req if you have one.
