About SkillFoundry
We built SkillFoundry because technical hiring has outgrown whiteboard puzzles and take-home exercises that cannot be audited. Engineering leaders need assessments that run themselves, score against real work, and leave an evidence trail procurement and legal teams can review.
Why we built this
Traditional technical screens were designed for a world without AI copilots, without automated hiring regulations, and without hiring teams stretched across dozens of open roles. Today, a CTO evaluating assessment vendors is asking different questions: Can we defend this score in a dispute? Does every decision have a paper trail? Are we measuring job-related skills, or memorized algorithms?
SkillFoundry answers those questions with repo-based tasks, automated multi-signal scoring, and session evidence that reviewers can inspect — not reinterpret from notes. Our customers are hiring teams who need first-pass screening to run hands-free so senior engineers only review the shortlist.
We are early-stage and direct about what is and is not complete. See our Trust & Compliance page for an honest account of our security and compliance posture.
What we believe
These principles shape every product decision — from how we score AI orchestration to how we document data flows for your security review.
Evidence over intuition
A hiring decision should rest on recorded test results, code artifacts, and behavioral signals — not a reviewer's memory of how a call felt.
Defensibility is a feature
If your legal or compliance team cannot reconstruct why a candidate was scored the way they were, the assessment failed — regardless of the score itself.
Honesty about limits
We do not claim to catch every form of AI assistance or eliminate bias entirely. We build transparency so customers can make informed, auditable decisions.
Founder
Amichai Shamah
Founder & CEO
Former engineering leader who spent too many hours in debrief meetings arguing about whether a candidate “felt senior enough.” SkillFoundry is the platform he wished existed: structured evidence, automated first-pass screening, and scores benchmarked against the customer's own team.
