Better Candidates. Better Hiring

You post a role. You get 40, 60, sometimes 100 resumes.Most look decent. Some look great.Then the interviews start, and within 10 minutes you know: This isn’t the person.Do that a few times and suddenly:• Interviews drag on for weeks
• Roles stay open
• People covering the gap burn outThat’s the real cost.

Here’s What’s Often Overlooked

HR keeps interviews moving, and engineers provide technical insight - but there isn’t time during initial resume screening for deep technical vetting.So technical judgment gets pushed to the interview stage.Pre-screening moves technical judgment earlier, before interviews begin.

The New Reality of Technical Hiring

Resumes are better than they used to be.• Everyone uses the right keywords
• Everyone knows how to describe experience
• Everyone sounds confident on paperSome are solid, some aren’t. You don’t find out which until after the interview - That’s backwards.

What We Do

We do: Apply engineering judgment before interviews.We don’t:
• Recruit
• Source candidates
• Push placements
• Touch your hiring decisionsThis fits inside your existing process.

How It Works

Resume Review + Short Calls = Your ShortlistEvery resume gets looked at by a P.Eng. who’s hired for these roles before.• Did they actually do the work, or just sit near it?
• Were they responsible, or just “involved”?
• Can they explain what went wrong and what they fixed?Buzzwords don’t matter. Reality does.Top candidates get short, practical calls:• “Walk me through that startup.”
• “What broke first?”
• “What were you responsible for?”If they can’t answer clearly, they don’t move on.You receive:• 2–4 candidates worth interviewing
• Straight practical notes — no sales talk
• Clear flags where something feels thinYour interview team talks to people who belong in the room.

Why HR Managers Like This

This doesn’t replace HR - it supports it.You still:• Run the process
• Own the decision
• Control the timelineWhat changes is the technical qualifications of the candidates in your interviews.
