What is the biggest hiring challenge for Backend Developers?
Reviewing GitHub repos and resumes isn't enough to prove a developer understands distributed systems, database scaling, or secure API design. Live queries take too much engineering time.
How AI Interviews Screen Backend Developers
Our AI asks complex backend scenarios, challenging the developer to explain how they would structure an API, design a resilient microservice, or optimize a slow SQL query.
Database & Query Optimization
Challenges candidates to explain normalization, indexing, and NoSQL vs SQL tradeoffs.
API & Microservices Architecture
Tests the candidate's ability to explain REST, GraphQL, and event-driven architectures.
How It Works: Screening Backend Developers
Invite Candidates Automatically
Create a role-specific interview, then invite backend developers by email, shareable link, bulk upload, or a supported ATS workflow.
The AI Conducts the Interview
The AI conducts a two-way phone or video conversation, asks relevant follow-ups, and evaluates answers against your role criteria and scoring rubric.
Review the Shortlist
Review the recording, transcript, competency scorecard, Trust Score signals, summary, and ranked shortlist before deciding who advances.

1. Skills Questions (Dynamic)
The AI asks role-specific skills questions and follow-ups based on the competencies you define.
2. Resume Questions (Dynamic)
When a resume is available, the AI asks targeted questions about the candidate's stated projects, skills, and experience.
3. Custom Questions (Manual)
Write custom questions and attach a scoring rubric so candidates are evaluated against the same role criteria.
