Explain a core concept of your field as you would to a new colleague, then go one level deeper.

Example

What this round scores

Technical depth
How deep and accurate your knowledge of this role is.
You may hear
- Explain a core concept of your field as you would to a new colleague, then go one level deeper.
- Which tools or methods do you use most, and why those over the alternatives?
Problem solving
Breaking a problem into steps and reasoning your way to an answer.
You may hear
- Here’s a problem we faced recently. How would you approach it, step by step?
- How would you find the cause of a problem that only happens some of the time?
Trade-off analysis
Weighing alternatives and constraints, and explaining why you chose one.
You may hear
- You can ship a quick fix today or a solid solution next month. Which do you pick, and why?
- Tell me about a decision where you knowingly gave something up. What did you weigh?
Hands-on experience
Hands-on evidence from real projects, not just theory.
You may hear
- Walk me through the hardest technical problem you’ve solved. What exactly did you do?
- What went wrong in a past project, and what would you do differently now?

Every answer is scored from 0 to 100 on six skills. Your overall score is their weighted average.

This round also gets a score of its own: the average of the four criteria above.

Only your own words count. What the interviewer says never earns you points.
Concrete examples with a result raise your score. A vague one-sentence answer stays at 30 or below.
The scale is strict, like a real hiring panel: most candidates land between 40 and 80.
Your report also gives a hiring recommendation, your strengths, what to fix and a short action plan.
