What's different
The three things we promise you.
01
Adaptive depth
Senior? We go deep on systems-design and trade-off thinking. Junior? We look at curiosity, learning signals, recent projects. Same product, different conversation. You're not punished for being early in your career.
02
Visibly scored
You see what we measure, why, and how you scored on each axis. No black-box rejections. If you didn't make it, you get the reason in writing, not a "we've decided to move forward with other candidates" form letter.
03
Portable profile
Verify once. Re-use across every employer on Picked. The interview transcripts and scores belong to you. Delete them anytime. Carry them anywhere. We don't sell your data to recruiters.
No ghosting.
Every candidate gets a decision, with a date and time stamp.
15 + 30 minutes.
What you spend on the screen and the interview. No four-round process.
Your data.
Exportable, deletable, never sold, never used to train models without your explicit consent.
