The workflow

Where Niju fits in your pipeline.

Niju is your quality firewall, ensuring only competent coders reach the final rounds.

Step 1
The recruiter screen

Goal: Confirm interest, experience, salary, and culture fit.

Action: A 30-minute conversation.

Result: The candidate is engaged and ready to prove themselves.
Step 2
The Niju screen

The technical firewall

Goal: Verify practical coding ability.

Action: Send the Niju link. Candidate records a 20-min walkthrough of them solving a given challenge.

Result: You filter out candidates that don't meet your expectations.
Step 3
Engineering deep dive

Meet the team

Goal: Assess architecture, system design, and team fit.

Action: Your engineers interview the candidate.

Result: High-value interviews with competent candidates.

The problem

Your screening process is costing you more than just money.
You can't afford to:

Waste time

Pulling your best engineers off product work to run repetitive "intro to code" calls is a waste of talent.

Suffer inconsistency

Different interviewers give different grades. You lose great candidates because of bad notes or tired interviewers.

Create bad experiences

Lose great candidates who don't want to invest time early in the recruitment pipeline.

The solution

The "over-the-shoulder" review

Niju replaces the time-consuming call with one fair, 20‑minute recorded challenge. We use AI to analyze the entire session - the code, the audio, and the thought process - so your team can make a better, more consistent decision.

Skip the 45-minute call

Stop pulling your lead engineers away from deep work. Instead of conducting live interviews, they can simply review a candidate's Session Report—video playback, code diffs, and AI summary—in just 5 minutes.

Watch the workflow, not just the result

Code tests only show you the final output. Niju records the candidate's screen and audio, so you can see how they debug, how they use documentation, and why they made those decisions. It’s like looking over their shoulder.

Zero "stage fright" for candidates

Engineers hate performing on camera. Niju is audio and screen only. This low-stress environment lets candidates relax and show you their best work, reducing drop-off rates.

How it works

Get started in 3 simple steps

1. Create a role

Define the position (e.g., "Backend Engineer") and the seniority level. Niju automatically assigns a curated pool of challenges relevant to that skill level. Each candidate receives a random challenge from this pool, ensuring fairness and preventing cheating.

2. Start a session

Share the unique link with your candidate. They complete the 20-minute challenge at their convenience, recording their screen and audio as they think aloud. No scheduling required.

3. Get the report

You’ll receive an email notification the moment a candidate completes their session. Click through to watch their screen recording, review the final code, or read the AI executive summary to decide your next move.

1. Compares a 45-minute traditional screening interview (30 min call + 15 min prep/feedback) to the average 5-minute review of a Niju Report. This represents roughly 90% time savings.2. Compares the productivity cost of ~$88 for a senior engineer (based on $117/hr loaded rate) to run a 45-minute screen vs. the cost of a Niju Sprint credit ($4.90) + 5 minutes of review time (~$10). This results in a ~6x to 10x cost reduction.3. Based on reducing the bottleneck of interview scheduling, which typically adds 8-12 days to the process. Async sessions remove this delay entirely.
