InterviewGod · Technical screening

Stop your senior engineers grading take-homes that were never going to pass

The upstream technical screen is where senior engineers lose hours reviewing submissions that obviously will not make it. InterviewGod auto-grades coding and technical assessments on correctness and approach, so your engineers only spend time on candidates who already cleared the bar.

A consistent, evidenced screen for engineering roles that shortlists before any human review — the same screen Banao runs on its own developer hires.

Banao — auto-screens its own engineering candidates before a senior reviewer is involved.

What the technical screen does

The point is to remove the obvious no's automatically, so human review starts at the shortlist, not the slush pile.

Auto-graded coding tasks

Submissions scored on correctness and approach, not just whether tests pass, so the screen reflects real engineering judgement.

Approach, not just output

The screen looks at how a problem was solved, surfacing strong engineers whose final answer alone wouldn't show it.

Consistent bar for every candidate

The same evaluation applied to everyone, so shortlists are comparable instead of dependent on who reviewed.

Shortlist before human time

Your engineers review only candidates who already passed, turning hours of grading into minutes on a shortlist.

Engineer screening, automated

Metrics shown dotted (··) are being finalised in our case-study metrics pack. The deployment is real; we will not publish a number before it is verified.

Banao (internal)

Our own developer screen runs before any senior review

  • ··hrsengineer grading time saved per role
  • ··%of submissions auto-filtered

Banao auto-screens its own engineering candidates on InterviewGod before a senior engineer reviews anyone, which is how a 300-person company hires developers without drowning its seniors in grading.

Cross-sell: technical interview outsourcing

Automate the screen, hand off the deep round

  • ··%of grading removable upstream

Pair this with Banao's technical interview outsourcing: automation clears the upstream screen, and Banao engineers run the deeper live rounds — your seniors stay off both.

Our developer hiring screens this way first

Banao auto-screens its own engineering candidates before a senior reviewer touches a submission. The grading time we save ourselves is the same time the screen returns to your engineers.

Because our own developer hiring depends on this screen, it is tuned to catch the strong engineers whose work would be missed by a tests-only check — and to drop the obvious no's automatically.

  • InterviewGodAuto-screens Banao's own engineering candidates first.
  • VikaasSources the developers the screen then evaluates.

When automated technical screening falls short

Automation handles the screen, not the whole evaluation. We will be clear on its limits:

  • Senior architecture and design: a live round with an engineer judges this better than an auto-graded task.
  • Tiny engineering pipelines: if you hire a developer rarely, a manual review may be simpler than configuring a screen.
  • Whole-person fit: the screen rates ability, not collaboration or culture — keep those in human rounds.

How it starts

We calibrate the screen against engineers you already rate.

  1. Screening Pilot Sprint2 weeks · fixed price

    We configure the technical screen and run it against engineers you have already hired, so you see how its shortlist matches your own judgement. Yours to judge.

  2. Configure & integrate

    We tune tasks and scoring to your stack and roles and wire results into your ATS so scores travel with the candidate.

  3. Run & pair with live rounds

    Roll out the upstream screen, and pair it with human or outsourced deep rounds for the candidates who pass.

Frequently asked questions

No — it scores correctness and approach, so it can surface strong engineers whose solution quality wouldn't show from a pass/fail check alone, and flag brittle solutions that happen to pass. It is built to reflect engineering judgement, not just output.

Technical screening automation is the upstream, asynchronous filter that shortlists before any human time. The coding interview platform is the live, proctored round you run later with the candidates who pass. One filters breadth; the other goes deep.

Yes. Tasks and scoring are tuned to your stack and roles in the Pilot Sprint, and calibrated against engineers you have already hired, so the screen matches your bar rather than a generic one.

That is the recommended setup. Automation clears the upstream screen so your engineers — or Banao's, via technical interview outsourcing — run only the deeper live rounds for candidates who already passed.
