Couple friends and I built this cause we hated the direction that technical recruiting is going in. There's so much 'cheating' and inconsistent interviewing where great talent gets lost because companies care so much about correct solutions and time crunch interviews. But that's because they don't have the resources to do more than that for their candidates, or they'd just be spending all their time interviewing and doing on-sites. So we wanted to come up with a better solution than take-home tests and solely T1 college or FAANG hiring, where everyone gets a fair chance to show what they…

We are a recruiting startup with a small twist. We represent engineering candidates who receive a recommendation through our personalized vetting process, which includes a technical interview with an unbiased third-party senior engineer. We match the candidates with interviewers based on their background and the roles they are looking for. We pay for the senior engineer's time to interview so that the feedback is completely unbiased. These interviews are unique in that they are not set up to test if a candidate is a fit for a pre-set role, but instead they are personalized to extract each…

In my career I interviewed over 100 people and was interviewed from tech companies from startups to big tech and hedge funds. I built Neuraprep because I noticed something missing — while software engineers have leetcode.com and finance folks have quantquestions.com, other engineering domains (like ML, data science, MLOps) don’t have a go-to…
