Skill rounds

Test the skill, not the resume claim.

Focused specialist rounds, conducted conversationally by AI — and scored with the same evidence-linked rigor as everything else.

What it is

A deep-dive on one skill, run as a conversation

Not a quiz. Aria, our AI interviewer, probes adaptively — following the answer where it goes, pushing past anything rehearsed.

◎

One skill per round

A round goes deep on a single skill instead of sampling several shallowly — so the score means something specific.

↻

Adaptive probing

Follow-ups are generated from the answer given. Rehearsed material runs out fast; real experience keeps going.

▤

A conversation, not a quiz

No multiple choice, no timed trivia. The candidate explains their reasoning out loud, as they would at work.

Feature round

Candidates write real code in a live editor while talking through it — and the AI probes the decisions as they're made, not after.

✓A live editor in the interview — real code, not a whiteboard photo.

✓The AI asks about the choice while the choice is still on screen.

✓Reasoning is captured alongside the code, so a reviewer sees both.

No leetcode gauntlet. No take-home black hole. What the code shows becomes scorecard evidence.

"You reached for a sliding window over a token bucket — what breaks first if traffic is bursty?"

Scoring

A skill round is not a separate report. It lands in the same scorecard format, under the same honesty rules, and feeds the same debrief.

Evidence-linked

Each skill score points at the moment in the round that earned it — a timestamp, a quote, a line of code.

Honest about gaps

A dodge is reported as a dodge. If the round produced no real signal, it says so rather than inventing a number.

Feeds the same debrief

Skill rounds sit in the candidate heatmap next to screening and panel rounds, in one hire / maybe / reject view.
