Developer Recruitment Tune-Up

An independent review of your engineering job ad and interview process, showing why strong candidates drop out before you make an offer.

4 working days₹1,699 incl. GST6 deliverables
Overview

What this service covers

Hiring problems are often self-inflicted: a job ad demanding eleven technologies, a title that undersells the real seniority, a take-home task needing twelve unpaid hours, or five interview rounds while quicker companies make offers. We review your posting, interview stages and questions, then rewrite the ad and recommend a shorter process that still tells you what you need to know. Our advice is based on hiring engineers in the Indian market, and includes a view on salary.

Deliverables

What you receive

  • A rewritten job ad that is specific and honest, not aspirational
  • A breakdown of which requirements matter and which put good candidates off
  • An assessment of your interview stages with a shorter process proposed
  • A 2-hour technical exercise in place of a weekend-long task
  • A view on how your salary compares with market rates for the role
  • Recommendations on where to advertise this role
How it runs

The work in 4 stages

  1. Stage 1: Share the materials

    You send the job ad, an outline of each stage and the questions you ask.

  2. Stage 2: Read as a candidate

    We assess everything the way a strong applicant would see it.

  3. Stage 3: Rework

    The description is rewritten and process changes are drafted.

  4. Stage 4: Hand back

    Revised documents arrive with a brief explanation of each change.
