Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a job board? 🤔

No! pre-screen.dev is not a job board. It’s a tool to pre-screen developers before they enter your recruitment pipelines.
You keep posting your full job ads on your favourite platforms, but instead of sending applicants to a form, you send them to pre-screen.dev!

What does this do? 🤨

Right now you possibly manually look at applicant's resumes and decide whether or not to invite them for an interview based on that. It's error prone and resumes & certificates never tell the full story. pre-screen.dev helps you get a fuller story.
It filters out up to 80% of applicants, saving you a lot of time on useless interviews and incorrect hires.

How does pre-screen.dev filter out applicants? 👀

By forcing developers to apply via an API endpoint with some secret challenges that experienced people can tackle in a few minutes, and curious beginners with the right mindset can tackle in a couple of hours.

Who does pre-screen.dev filter out? 👥

pre-screen.dev filters out up to 80% of applicants, these are time wasters, the inexperienced, and incompetent developers.

How does pre-screen.dev send me applicants? 🚀

What does the technical screening look like? 🧐

We will not publicly share all the details (applicants might find it!) but the applicant will see this page (with your job details instead, of course): https://app.pre-screen.dev/job/1ed0d3ba-0197-6936-97a2-8f7add1af7cc
A developer should know what that means, and how to handle the folowing challenges, if they don’t, you probably don’t want to hire them.
The dificulty of the test will change as we learn more.

What do people applying think? 👇

Is the screening hard enough? 🤭

This isn’t going to be great at screening senior developers from a skills standpoint. But still, not everyone puts in the low effort required to successfully apply, and that by itself is a marker of attitude.
As of now, this is particularly great at screening junior developers and filtering out the lazier less curious ones.
After all, this reduces the amount of profiles you get by 80%, it’s definitely doing something!

Do you have a demo? 🤚

Yes! You can view a short demo video and try the demo account by visiting the demo page.
