Zelcast Eng Scorer

Your LinkedIn, scored the way startups actually hire

What it does

Eng Scorer reads your LinkedIn the way a hungry, fast-growing startup actually would. You get a score out of 99, your engineer archetype, your rank against 24,000 real engineers, and your Zelcomp - the comp we think a profile like yours should be pulling in. Tap the seal. Watch the dollars fly. There’s a live leaderboard of the top 100 working engineers (upvotes break the ties). The alumni page shows exactly where the talent is flowing and which companies keep producing the good ones.

Paste a LinkedIn profile and get a scored read of experience, trajectory, startup fit and public work, with the evidence behind every number.

    Anonymous interview evals of strong software/ML engineering candidates2017 · ▲95

    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…

    HiDimensional – senior engineers recommend candidates to startups2017 · ▲29

    Hi HN! We’re excited to share with you the public beta launch of our startup, HiDimensional (www.hidimensional.com). We are a platform consisting of senior engineering leaders who interview candidates and provide recommendations of the best candidates and their strengths. We then use the recommendations to refer these candidates to founders of startups that match their strengths and interests. The recommendation serves as a personal referral from the interviewer, so for candidates, it amplifies their application and fast-tracks them through the process. And for companies, they are receiving…

    Safely share and compare your Startup Engineer Salary2014 · ▲11

    Hi HN, This is a mixture between a Show and Ask HN. I really appreciate your time and thoughts on this. My name is Alexis and I would like to show you something I've been working on on the technical side: It's called Huddle Metrics. Huddle Metrics is basically a safe place for you to anonymously share and compare sensitive data with your community. Sort of like a very controlled collaborative spreadsheet, really. Or a survey. But hopefully better. Think engineering salary and your equity in the company. Information that you track yourself but that's too taboo to share. If a pool of the data…

    Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
