Resume & Background Review

Product company experience validation

We immediately filter out ~75% of applicants—dev shop profiles, candidates with unrelated skill sets, or those lacking experience at startups, top-tier product companies, or highly-ranked universities. Only those with proven track records in high-quality engineering environments advance.
