The assessment platform for AI-era engineering

Hire engineers who are force-multipliers with AI
— not people who rubber-stamp it

SkillFoundry runs real-world, repo-based assessments and scores how candidates orchestrate AI, benchmarked against your own team — with a session evidence trail behind every score, so you can defend every decision.

Every assessment captures measurable, job-related evidence — itemized on the report.

From Invitation to Decision, Without the Busywork

Your team defines the bar once. The platform handles everything between sending the invite and reading the report.

1

Assign a real-world task

Pick from your task library or build your own: scoped, ticket-style work in a real codebase, with tests and acceptance criteria attached.

2

Candidates work, evidence accrues

Candidates complete the task in a real development environment. Test runs, code changes, and behavioral signals are captured automatically as they work.

3

Review a defensible report

Each submission is evaluated automatically. You receive a score report with the full breakdown — and your engineers only meet the candidates worth meeting.

Asynchronous by design — candidates work on their schedule, your team reviews on theirs.

Why Hiring Teams Switch

Traditional technical screens

  • Senior engineers spend hours writing, running, and grading take-homes
  • Algorithm puzzles that don't resemble the job — and candidates know it
  • A single number with no evidence behind it when a candidate disputes a decision
  • Inconsistent, reviewer-dependent grading across candidates
  • No visibility into how the work was actually produced

Assessments on SkillFoundry

  • Assessments run, evaluate, and report themselves — no engineer time until the shortlist
  • Real-world, repo-based tasks scoped like the tickets your team ships
  • Every score backed by test results, code-quality metrics, and a session evidence trail
  • One standardized rubric applied identically to every candidate
  • Behavioral signals and AI-use analysis captured throughout the session

What's Behind Every Score

A number you can't explain is a number you can't defend. SkillFoundry scores are assembled from measurable evidence, itemized on every report.

Automated Test Execution

Every submission runs against the task's test suite in a sandboxed environment. Pass rates and per-test results are recorded on the score report.

Static Code Analysis

Lint quality, cyclomatic complexity, duplication, and modularity are measured on the submitted code — the same dimensions your team reviews for.

Behavioral Signal Capture

The session records how candidates work: testing habits, iteration patterns, tooling fluency, and communication — scored against a published signal catalog.

AI-Use Analysis

Rather than a blunt cheating flag, reports show how AI assistance was used — iteration on generated code, over-reliance indicators, and outcome quality.

Human Review, On the Record

Reviewers can adjust scores, but every adjustment is logged with the reviewer, reason, and timestamp — so the final number stays auditable.

Consistent Rubrics

The same scoring model evaluates every candidate on a task. No mood-of-the-reviewer variance, no undocumented criteria.

Built for Teams That Answer to Legal, Too

Automated hiring tools face growing scrutiny. SkillFoundry is designed so your assessment process holds up to questions — from candidates, auditors, or regulators.

Session evidence trail

Candidate sessions are recorded as structured events, so any score can be traced back to what happened.

Human oversight built in

Automated scores are recommendations. Structured manual review — with logged adjustments — keeps a human in the loop.

Data protection

Candidate data is collected transparently, retained under a published policy, and deleted on request.

Fair, job-related criteria

Scoring uses only work products and job-related signals — never demographic attributes — supporting your compliance obligations for automated hiring tools.

Give Your Engineers Their Time Back

Run assessments that grade themselves, and make hiring decisions you can explain — to your leadership, your candidates, and your auditors.
