The first interview round, run by AI — so your team only meets the shortlist

InterviewGod screens candidates with structured AI interviews, technical and coding assessments, and proctoring — then hands your hiring managers a ranked shortlist with evidence behind every score.

Built for hiring that runs at volume: hundreds or thousands of applicants a month, screened on the same bar each time, without your senior engineers losing their week to first rounds.

Banao — screens its own ~300-person engineering hiring on InterviewGod before any candidate reaches a human panel.

What InterviewGod runs

Each module replaces a slow, manual, or inconsistent step in your funnel — and every one produces an auditable score, not a gut feel a recruiter has to defend later.

01

AI interview screening

Structured first-round interviews conducted and scored by AI, so every candidate answers the same questions against the same rubric — and your team only meets the ones who clear it.

02

Technical & coding assessment

Auto-graded coding and technical tasks for engineering roles, scored on correctness and approach — the screen that stops senior engineers reviewing take-homes by hand.

03

Proctoring & integrity

Live proctoring and integrity checks that flag the obvious cheating remote assessment invites, so a passing score actually means something.

04

Voice & behavioural screening

Call-based screening and voice analysis for high-volume non-technical roles, surfacing fit and red flags before a recruiter spends a minute on the phone.

05

Funnel management at volume

Multi-round workflows that move thousands of applicants from apply to offer without the spreadsheet sprawl that loses good candidates between stages.

06

Scorecards & ATS integration

Skill-level reporting and ranked shortlists that push straight into your ATS, so the evidence travels with the candidate instead of dying in an inbox.

We use it on ourselves

We screen our own hires on it before we sell it

Banao runs a ~300-person engineering company, and every engineer who joins clears an InterviewGod first round before a human panel meets them. We are our own hardest customer — when the screen is too loose or too harsh, we feel it in our own teams.

Most interview-tech vendors have never had to hire at scale on their own product. We do it every week. The version that reaches your funnel has already been tuned against the cost of a bad hire we had to live with.

InterviewGod

Screens 100% of Banao's engineering first rounds.

Vikaas

Honest disqualifiers

When AI screening is the wrong tool

An AI first round is a filter, not a hiring decision. We will tell you where it does not belong:

Very low volume

hiring two people a year does not justify configuring a screening pipeline — a careful manual process wins.

Senior and executive roles

judgement, leadership, and politics do not reduce to a rubric. Use AI to schedule and prep, not to decide.

Craft you must see in person

roles where the work is physical or relational are better assessed live. We scope that honestly before you buy seats.

How a rollout starts — prove it on one funnel

You do not have to bet your whole hiring process on day one. We start on a single high-volume role and show you the screen against your own past hires.

01

Screening Pilot Sprint

2 weeks · fixed price

We configure InterviewGod for one real role and run it against candidates you have already hired, so you see how its shortlist compares to your own decisions before committing. Yours to judge either way.

02

Configure & integrate

Rubrics tuned to your roles, proctoring set to your risk tolerance, and results wired into your ATS so scores travel with the candidate.

03

Run at volume

Roll out across your high-volume funnels with ongoing rubric tuning. The screen keeps learning from which shortlisted candidates actually performed.

Frequently asked questions

The questions buyers ask first.

Will candidates accept being interviewed by AI?
For a structured first round, yes — when it is faster and fairer than waiting weeks for a recruiter callback. We position it as a consistent first step, with humans owning every later round and the final decision. Candidates meet your team having already cleared a clear, even bar.
How is this different from other AI interview tools?
Banao hires its own 300-engineer company on InterviewGod every week. It is not a product we demo and walk away from — it is one we depend on, so the screening logic is tuned against the real cost of bad hires we had to live with, not a vendor's benchmark.
Does it handle technical and coding roles?
Yes. Auto-graded coding and technical assessments score correctness and approach, with proctoring for integrity. It is the same screen Banao uses on its own engineering hires, so it is built for real developer evaluation, not trivia.
How does it fit our existing ATS and process?
InterviewGod runs the top of the funnel and pushes ranked shortlists and skill reports into your ATS. It replaces manual screening, not your hiring process — your managers still own interviews, offers, and the final call.
How do we know the screen is fair and not biased?
Every candidate answers the same structured questions against the same rubric, which is more consistent than a tired recruiter on call forty. We validate each rollout against your own past hires in the Pilot Sprint and keep tuning as outcomes come in.

Products · Vikaas

Engineering talent that has already been interviewed before you meet it

Vikaas is how Banao sources, screens, and staffs engineers — for our own teams and for the enterprises we deliver for. You hire from a pool that has been through real technical interviews, not a stack of unfiltered résumés.

Direct hires, staff augmentation, dedicated teams, an offshore development center, or your whole recruiting pipeline run for you — one engine, fitted to how you actually want to add people.

Banao — sources and screens its own ~300-engineer hiring through Vikaas and InterviewGod before any client does.

Ways to add engineers through Vikaas

Hiring is not one problem. Filling a gap on your team is a different decision from standing up an offshore unit. We start from how you want to add people, not from a single product pitch.

01

Hire AI & ML engineers

Direct access to AI, generative-AI, and ML engineers who have passed Banao's own technical screen — the same bar we hold our own hires to.

02

IT staff augmentation

Individual engineers who join your team, report into your managers, and work to your roadmap. You keep control; we keep the bench full.

03

Dedicated development teams

A standing squad — engineers, lead, QA — managed by Banao against your product roadmap. One point of accountability, not five contractors.

04

Offshore development center

A persistent India-based unit set up as your extension, with the governance, security, and reporting an enterprise needs to sleep at night.

05

Recruitment process outsourcing

We run your engineering recruiting pipeline end to end — sourcing, screening, scheduling, offer — and the people land on your payroll, not ours.

06

Technical interview outsourcing

Banao engineers run your live technical rounds so your senior people stop losing days to first-round interviews that go nowhere.

We staff our own company on this before we staff yours

Banao runs a ~300-person engineering operation, and we hire for it the same way we ask you to hire: candidates are sourced through Vikaas, screened through InterviewGod, then interviewed by a panel. We feel every bad shortlist and slow loop ourselves.

That is the difference between a staffing vendor reselling résumés and a 300-engineer company handing you the supply chain it depends on. When our own roadmap rides on the quality of a hire, the bar you inherit is already set high.

Honest disqualifiers

When hiring through us is the wrong call

We would rather lose the deal than put you in a model that fits us instead of you. A few cases where we will tell you to go another way:

One niche senior role, in your city, no urgency

a local retained search may serve you better than a bench. We'll say so.

You need deep domain context that lives only inside your walls

staff augmentation will out-perform a dedicated team until that knowledge is written down.

Headcount you cannot define yet

if the roadmap is still moving weekly, contract staffing beats committing to a standing team you may have to unwind.

How an engagement starts — low commitment first

You have been burned by staffing firms before. We start by scoping the actual roles and trialling people, not by signing you to a headcount.

01

Hiring Discovery Sprint

1 week · fixed price

We map the roles you actually need, the level, the engagement model that fits, and a realistic timeline. You leave with a staffing plan and shortlist criteria — yours to keep even if you hire elsewhere.

02

Shortlist & paid trial

Interview-proven candidates, then a short paid trial on real work before any longer commitment. You see how someone performs on your stack before you bet a quarter on them.

03

Onboard & scale

Engineers join under the model you chose, with one accountable point of contact at Banao. You scale the count up or down as the roadmap moves — we keep the bench warm.

Frequently asked questions

The questions buyers ask first.

How is this different from a normal staffing agency?
A staffing agency forwards résumés it has not tested. Vikaas hands you candidates from the same pool Banao hires its own 300 engineers from, already through a real technical screen on InterviewGod. You interview people who have already cleared a bar, not a pile of CVs.
Which engagement model should we pick?
Fill a gap in your own team → staff augmentation. Own a whole product outcome → a dedicated team. Stand up a persistent unit → an offshore development center. Hire onto your own payroll → RPO. The Hiring Discovery Sprint exists to make that call with you in a week.
How fast can engineers start?
Because the bench is pre-screened, a typical path is a one-week scoping Sprint, a shortlist within days, a short paid trial, then start. Working engineers in weeks, not the months a fresh local search usually takes.
Are these contractors or Banao engineers?
Depends on the model. Staff augmentation, dedicated teams, and offshore centers are Banao engineers on our payroll, managed to your work. RPO and recruitment consultancy place people onto your payroll. We tell you exactly which before you sign.
What if a hire does not work out?
The paid trial exists precisely so a bad fit costs you days, not a quarter. If someone clears the trial and still does not work out, we replace from the bench rather than restarting a search from zero.

Vidya · Banao product

Learning paths built around the job, not the syllabus

Vidya turns a role — AI Engineer, Full-Stack Developer, Data Engineer — into a sequenced path of projects, mentorship, and a competency screen that proves the skill was actually acquired, not just watched.

Built for teams that need people to be capable on Monday, not certified on paper: structured tracks, real project work, and a final screen on the same engine Banao uses to hire.

Banao — trains and re-skills its own ~300-engineer bench on Vidya before any client cohort runs.

What Vidya runs

Each part replaces a step where conventional training leaks — generic content, no proof of skill, no line to a real role. Every path ends in an auditable competency result, not a completion badge.

01

Job-aligned learning paths

Tracks sequenced to a real role and its required skills — not a catalogue of disconnected courses. A learner moves through exactly what the job demands, in the order it demands it.

02

Project-based assessment

Skills are proven on real project work, graded on output, so a finished path means a person can do the work — not that they sat through the videos.

03

Mentorship & review

Working engineers review project work and unblock learners, the layer self-serve course libraries never provide and the reason completion rates collapse without it.

04

Competency screen on completion

Every path closes with a structured screen on the same engine Banao hires on, so a certificate carries evidence a recruiter can trust instead of a logo.

05

Personalised recommendation

Paths adapt to where a learner already is, so senior people skip what they know and juniors get the prerequisites first — time goes to the gap, not the whole catalogue.

06

Cohort & progress reporting

Skill-level progress across a cohort, pushed to whoever owns the outcome — an L&D lead, a department head, a placement office — so training is measured, not assumed.

Banao does not pilot Vidya — it runs on it. When a project needs a stack the bench is light on, the path that closes the gap is a Vidya path, screened on the same engine that hires. The training that reaches your teams has already been tuned against the cost of an engineer who finished a course and still could not ship.

We use it on ourselves

We re-skill our own engineers on it before we sell it

Banao runs a ~300-person engineering company, and when a project needs a capability the bench is short on, we build the path on Vidya and screen the result before we put that engineer on the work. We are our own hardest cohort — when a path teaches the wrong thing or skips a prerequisite, we feel it in a delivery slip.

Most learning platforms have never had to make their own people billable on the skill they just taught. We do it every quarter. The path that reaches your teams has already been corrected against an engineer who finished it and still was not ready.

Vidya

Builds and screens the capability before an engineer joins billable work.

InterviewGod

Provides the same competency screen that closes every Vidya path.

Honest disqualifiers

When a structured path is the wrong tool

A path is for acquiring a defined capability. We will tell you where it does not belong:

Open-ended exploration

someone browsing to find what interests them is better served by a broad library. A sequenced path assumes a known destination.

A single person, one-off

re-skilling one individual on a common stack rarely justifies a configured cohort — a focused public course can be the right call, and we will say so.

Tacit knowledge that lives in your walls

capabilities that exist only inside your own systems are learned on the job, not in a path. We scope that line honestly before you commit a cohort.

How a rollout starts — prove it on one cohort

You do not commit a whole L&D programme on day one. We start with one role and one small cohort, and show you the competency result against the bar you actually hire to.

01

Capability Pilot Sprint

2 weeks · fixed price

We map one target role to a path, run a small cohort, and show you the competency screen results against your own hiring bar before you scale. Yours to judge either way.

02

Configure & sequence

Paths tuned to your roles and stacks, mentorship cadence set, and progress reporting wired to whoever owns the outcome.

03

Run at scale

Roll out across teams or cohorts with ongoing path tuning. The screen keeps the path honest — what learners cannot clear is what the path gets fixed on.

Frequently asked questions

The questions buyers ask first.

How is this different from Udemy or Coursera?
Those are libraries — you pick from thousands of courses and hope the order is right. Vidya is a path: sequenced to a role, project-graded, mentor-reviewed, and closed with a competency screen on the same engine Banao hires on. The difference is proof at the end, not a catalogue at the start.
Does a completed path actually prove someone can do the job?
That is the point of the closing screen. A path ends in a structured competency assessment on the InterviewGod engine, graded on real output — so completion carries evidence a hiring manager can trust, not a badge.
Can it be tuned to our own roles and stack?
Yes. Paths are sequenced to the roles and stacks you actually need, and the Capability Pilot Sprint exists to tune one against your hiring bar before you scale a cohort.
How do we know it works before committing budget?
The Pilot Sprint runs one small cohort and shows you the competency results against your own bar. You see whether the path produces capable people before you fund the programme.
Who owns the reporting?
Skill-level progress is pushed to whoever owns the outcome — an L&D lead, a department head, a placement office. Training becomes a measured line, not an assumed one.

Axon · Banao product

What your teams report as done, against what actually shipped — in one view

Axon is the reality layer over your delivery. It reads the work itself — not the status update about the work — and surfaces the gap between what was reported done and what is actually live, before that gap reaches a customer or a board.

Built for leaders who are tired of finding out at the demo: a single, honest picture of delivery, sourced from the system of record, not the standup.

Banao — runs its own ~300-engineer delivery on Axon before any client sees a status report.

What Axon surfaces

Each part closes a place where the truth about delivery normally goes missing — between the status update and the system of record. Every signal is sourced from the work itself, not from someone's account of it.

01

Said vs shipped

The core view: what a team reported complete, set against what is actually merged, tested, and live. The gap is surfaced, not buried in a deck.

02

Reality reporting

Status drawn from the system of record instead of the standup, so a report reflects what happened — not what someone hoped would happen by the meeting.

03

Delivery gap detection

Where reported progress and real progress diverge, Axon flags it early — so the slip surfaces while there is still time to act, not at the demo.

04

Test & quality signal

Whether the work that was called done is actually covered and passing, so 'complete' means it works, not that the ticket was dragged to a column.

05

Cross-team rollup

One honest picture across teams and projects, so a leader sees the whole delivery surface in a glance instead of reconciling six status formats by hand.

06

Drift & silence alerts

Surfaces what has gone quiet or stalled — the work nobody is reporting on — because the dangerous gap is usually the one nobody is talking about.

We run our own delivery on it before we sell it

Banao runs a ~300-person engineering company delivering for enterprises every week, and our own delivery is visible through Axon before a client reads a single status report. We are our own hardest customer — when Axon misses a gap, we find out the same way our clients would, and we fix it before it can happen to you.

Most delivery-visibility tools have never had to stake their own client relationships on what the dashboard says. We do, every engagement. The reality layer that reaches your org has already caught — and been corrected by — the gaps we could not afford to miss.

Axon

Surfaces the real state of every Banao engagement before a client report goes out.

Banao delivery

300 engineers across dozens of projects — the load Axon was built to keep honest.

Honest disqualifiers

When a reality layer is the wrong tool

Axon surfaces the gap between reported and real. It does not replace the judgement of running the work. Where it does not belong:

A single small team in one tool

one team, one board, daily face-to-face — the gap is already visible. Axon earns its keep across teams and vendors, not inside a room of five.

Work with no system of record

Axon reads the work itself. Where delivery lives only in conversation and not in any tracked system, there is nothing for it to read honestly — we scope that first.

A culture problem dressed as a tooling problem

if reports are dishonest by design, a clearer mirror helps but does not fix it. We will tell you when the gap is about incentives, not visibility.

How a rollout starts — prove it on one program

You do not wire Axon across the whole org on day one. We start on one program where the said-vs-shipped gap already hurts, and show you what it surfaces against your last few status cycles.

01

Reality Check Sprint

2 weeks · fixed price

We connect Axon to one real program and surface the said-vs-shipped picture against status cycles you have already reported — so you see the gap it would have caught before you commit. Yours to judge either way.

02

Connect & calibrate

Wired to your systems of record, calibrated to what 'done' means in your org, and the rollup set to how your leadership actually reads delivery.

03

Run across programs

Roll out across teams and vendors with one honest view. The reality layer keeps earning as the surface grows — more projects, same single picture.

Frequently asked questions

The questions buyers ask first.

How is this different from a project dashboard?
A dashboard shows what teams entered. Axon shows what actually happened in the work, and sets it against what was reported. The output is the gap between the two — the thing a normal dashboard is built to hide.
Where does Axon get its data?
From your systems of record — the work itself — not from status updates or standups. That is the whole point: a report you can trust because it was not written by the person being reported on.
Will teams feel surveilled?
Axon surfaces delivery reality, not individual activity. It is built to give leaders an honest picture and teams air cover when their real progress is better than the status format lets them show. We scope the framing with you so it reads as clarity, not monitoring.
How is this different from anyone else's visibility tool?
Banao runs its own 300-engineer delivery on Axon before any client sees a report. It is not a product we demo and walk away from — it is the one we stake our own client relationships on, so it is tuned against real gaps we could not afford to miss.
How fast do we see value?
The Reality Check Sprint connects Axon to one program and shows you the said-vs-shipped picture against cycles you have already reported — usually within two weeks, before any wider commitment.
