AI interviewer

Your rate limiter stores hits in memory. What happens when the service runs on three instances?

Candidate

Each instance would count separately, so a customer could send three times the limit. I would move the counter to a shared store with an expiry.

AI interviewer

Two of your tests failed on the window reset. Walk me through what you would change.

Clean

  • Weights you control. A senior backend role weighs system design higher than a junior one.
  • Blind review. Name, photo and age stay hidden from scoring until the shortlist.
  • Share a PDF scorecard with your hiring manager in one click.

Know the code is really theirs

Tests are only useful if the work is genuine. Every submission gets integrity signals, and the AI interview asks about the candidate's own code, which a copied answer cannot explain.

Compare it with an agency fee

Agencies typically charge 20 to 25 percent of the first year salary for each developer hire. Set your own numbers and see the difference for one year.

The agency figure uses 20 percent, the low end of the usual range. The plan figure is the yearly price of Startup, which covers up to 24 new roles a year.

Yearly cost of hiring developers, agency fee compared with a DeveloperHiring plan
Way to hireCost for one year
Recruiting agency at 20 percent$72,000
DeveloperHiring Startup, billed yearly$1,188
Difference$70,812

Startup covers 2 new roles a month, so 24 a year. Your team still does the final interviews. DeveloperHiring replaces the sourcing, screening and testing that an agency or your engineers do today.

What you get compared with the usual options

Most tools cover one stage of technical hiring. DeveloperHiring runs every stage per role for one flat fee.

We already use a coding test.

Keep it if you like. DeveloperHiring adds sourcing, screening, the AI interview and the ranking around the test, so engineers only meet the top five.

AI should not decide who we hire.

It does not. AI scores and explains, your team decides. Candidates can ask for a human review at any time.

Our stack is unusual.

Pick from 30+ languages, set the skill weights, and on Team and Scale write your own tasks and questions.

Questions engineering leaders ask

Short answers about how DeveloperHiring finds, tests and ranks developers.

DeveloperHiring is a technical recruiting platform for developer roles. You post a role, and it sources candidates, scores their CV and public code, runs a coding test and an AI technical interview, checks integrity, and gives you a ranked top five shortlist.

A job board gives you applicants. DeveloperHiring gives you evidence. Every candidate is scored against the same skill matrix, tested on real code and interviewed about their own solution before you spend an hour on a call.

An agency typically charges 20 to 25 percent of the first year salary per hire. DeveloperHiring is a flat monthly subscription. You keep the hire, you see every score and reason, and there are no placement or success fees.

Every submission gets integrity signals: paste events, tab switches, keystroke playback, code similarity across all candidates of the role and the likelihood of AI generated code. The AI interview then asks about the candidate's own code, which is hard to fake. Signals inform your team and never reject anyone on their own.

More than 30 languages, with ready tasks for Python, JavaScript and TypeScript, React, Node.js, Java, PHP and Laravel, Go, C# and .NET, Swift, Kotlin, Salesforce Apex and SQL. On Team and Scale you can add your own tasks.

Scoring never sees name, photo, age or gender. Every candidate is told which stages are scored by AI before starting, sees the rubric, and can ask for a human review. Your team always makes the final decision. Read more on AI transparency for candidates.

From public developer profiles and public code, from people who apply through your hosted role page, from your own CSV imports and from referrals. Every outreach email has a one click opt-out.

There is no free plan. The demo on this page is free: paste a role and see the skill matrix, screening questions and a sample coding task. Plans start at $99 per month billed yearly.
