Corner Office Not launched yet · free pilots

Interviews don't always reflect how someone will work.

100s of interviews and still can't find your candidate?

What we offer

We shortlist your candidates based on their structured thinking and how they work with others. Instead of an assessment, a week within a simulated company, where the candidate carries tasks and fix incidents on a real environment.
In our free pilot, the interview evaluates their answers and how they use AI to work better.

From youYour candidates and the job description.
Their time2–4 hours each, within one week, in a simulated company with real systems.

I've interviewed many engineers over the years, and kept meeting people who had studied the subject but never done the actual work.
We are building Corner Office so you can see the work before you hire.
