How it works

1

Set up the interview

Start with the Engineering Manager template. Add questions about your specific context — remote teams, startup pace, or enterprise scale.

2

Send to candidates

Candidates share real leadership stories. AI asks 'What was the outcome?' and 'What would you do differently now?' to test genuine experience.

3

Compare candidates

Summaries highlight leadership style, technical judgment, and people skills. Compare managers beyond resumes and titles.
