Replace first-round technical screens with a 20-minute async coding session
Candidates solve a practical coding task while recording screen and audio. Your team reviews the session, final code, and AI summary in minutes instead of scheduling live calls.
A reviewable technical screening package after every async coding session.
Session replay
Screen + audio recording you can review on your own schedule
Final code + outcome
See what they shipped and how they handled the challenge
AI summary
Start with a written recap before deeper engineering review
Teams use Niju to cut screening time and keep review quality visible
Reclaimed engineer screening time1
Lower screening cost2
Faster hiring3
See methodology notes1-3 in the page footer for how these outcomes are calculated.
Where Niju fits in your pipeline
Niju adds technical proof between the recruiter screen and the final engineering interview.
Goal: Confirm role fit, logistics, and candidate interest before technical review.
→ Move only engaged candidates into a technical screening step
Technical proof
Goal: Capture reviewable evidence of practical engineering ability.
The candidate completes a 20-minute async coding session. Your team gets a report with the recording, final code, transcript, and AI summary.
→ Review the technical signal before you schedule engineering time
Goal: Spend live time on deeper technical discussion, system design, and team fit.
→ Run higher-value interviews with candidates who already showed their work
Replace live screening calls with reviewable technical proof
Every candidate needs another live technical screen
Scheduling slows down recruiter and candidate momentum
Feedback depends on who joined the call that day
Notes are hard to compare across interviewers
Each screen pulls engineering time away from product work
A 20-minute async session replaces the first live technical screen
Screen + audio recording shows how the candidate worked
A shareable report keeps code, transcript, and AI summary together
Reviewers can triage candidates faster before live interviews
Lower per-candidate cost than scheduling another engineering call
Early technical screens create hidden cost across the whole hiring funnel.
The usual process burns engineering time, creates uneven evaluation, and adds friction that strong candidates feel immediately.
Engineering time disappears into repetitive screens
Senior engineers keep leaving product work to rerun the same first-round technical screens for every new candidate.
Evaluations change from interviewer to interviewer
Live calls produce uneven notes and uneven standards, so strong candidates can get blocked before the final engineering interview.
Extra scheduling creates candidate drop-off
Adding another live call early in the funnel slows decisions and pushes good engineers toward faster hiring teams.
Review how candidates solve real problems without joining a live call
Niju captures the async coding session, final code, and spoken reasoning, then turns it into a concise report with the recording, transcript, and AI summary for your hiring team.
Review in minutes instead of running a 45-minute screen
Your team reviews the async coding session when it suits them, instead of coordinating another live call for every candidate.
See how they solve the task
Screen and audio replay show how candidates debug, explain trade-offs, and move through the task instead of revealing only the final answer.
Lower-pressure screening for candidates
Candidates complete the session on their own time and show practical work without the pressure of an early live panel.
What your team gets from each session
Get started in 3 simple steps
Create a role
Choose the engineering role and seniority, then send a practical technical screening that matches the level you want to assess.
Start a session
Share a link and let the candidate complete a 20-minute async coding session in the browser with screen and audio recording.
Get the report
Open the report to review the recording, final code, transcript, and AI summary before deciding who should meet engineering live.
