Our Vetting Process

Not Just Resumes. Real Tests.

We don't trust resumes that say "AI skills." We test candidates on the actual tools - Claude Code, Cursor, and more. Only the top performers join our roster.

The 6-Step Process

From application to roster - here's how we find the best.

Step 1

Application & Resume Screen

We look for engineers with real project experience and a passion for AI tools. Traditional CS degree not required - we care about what you can build.

Step 2

Claude Code Live Test

Candidates build a real feature using Claude Code while we watch. We assess how they prompt, iterate, and debug with AI assistance.

Step 3

Cursor Workflow Test

We test their ability to navigate and modify existing codebases using Cursor. Speed, accuracy, and workflow matter.

Step 4

Communication Interview

Technical skills mean nothing if you can't communicate. We assess English proficiency, async communication style, and collaboration skills.

Step 5

Trial Project

Top candidates complete a paid trial project. This is the final filter - we see how they perform on real client work.

Ongoing Training

Once accepted, engineers join our AI Labs training program. Monthly workshops, new tool training, and community support.

Why We're This Rigorous

The Problem

Everyone puts "AI tools" on their resume now. But most developers have only played with ChatGPT. They can't actually ship production code with Claude Code or navigate a complex codebase with Cursor.

Our Solution

We test on the actual tools. Live. Under pressure. We see how they prompt, how they debug, how they iterate. Only engineers who can actually ship with AI tools make it through.

What We Look For

Effective prompting skills
Debugging with AI assistance
Code review with AI tools
Fast iteration cycles
Clean, shippable output
Clear communication
Self-management ability
Product thinking
