Don't interview.Watch them work.

HireForU reads every application, gives the best a short task from your real work, and shows you how each one does it: the output, the process, and their reasoning. Free until you hire.

  • No interviews to sit through
  • Candidates use their own tools and AI
  • Pay only when you hire

Sample session. Drag the timeline or click a moment.

You posted one role. 486 people applied. Half the resumes were written by AI. Interviews reward the best talkers, not the best builders. So stop guessing. Watch the top five actually work.

From 486 to five, on proof.

486applied

Every application read in full, against your scorecard.

Resumes, interviews and now AI interviews all measure how well someone talks about work. None of them show you the work.

Resumes

AI writes them now. Everyone is a “React expert” and nothing is verified.

Interviews

Hours of your week, and they reward confident talkers over good builders.

AI interviews

Right after applying? The strongest candidates, the ones with options, close the tab.

The best predictor of how someone will work is watching them work.

Work samples have long been one of the strongest predictors of how someone will do in a job. Nobody used them at scale because they're painful to write, run and review. HireForU does all three.

1A task from your work

Not a quiz. A real task from your company.

HireForU writes a 30–45 minute task from your role and your own product: a route in your codebase, a screen in your app, the first emails to your customer. You edit it before it goes out.

Add rate-limiting to POST /api/apply

Our apply endpoint gets spammed. Limit it to 5 requests per minute per IP, return 429 with a Retry-After header, and cover it with a test.

  • Works for anonymous and signed-in users
  • Returns 429 with Retry-After
  • At least one test that fails without your change

2Start when ready

Candidates start whenever they're ready.

The link stays open for a few days. They click Start when it suits them and a timer begins. Pay them for their time, or let the work become a verified proof they can reuse.

You're one of 38 people we'd love to see work.

No interview. A 45-minute task from our real codebase, whenever you like in the next 3 days.

Their editor. Their AI. Their way.

One click shares their screen in the browser, with no install. They work exactly as they would on the job, AI included. How they use it is part of what you learn.

4Submit and explain

They submit the work, then explain it in two minutes.

Code lands in a private repo with its commit history, then gets built, tested and checked for your stack. Designs arrive as a live link. A two-minute walkthrough replaces the interview.

Every submission is cloned into a sandbox and checked the way a senior engineer on your stack would before merging it. You see who writes code you'd ship today, not just code that works.

Paid, or it counts forever

Companies can pay for the task, or the work becomes a verified proof candidates reuse when they apply anywhere on HireForU.

Their time, their tools

Start whenever in the next few days. Their editor, their AI assistant, their music. No one watching live.

Private by default

Recording is opt-in, with a visible indicator and a pause button. Only that company sees it, and it's deleted when the role closes.

Your first hires shape the company. HireForU never asks you to take its word for anything.
