For in-house teams hiring engineers

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.

The workflow

Where Niju fits in your pipeline

Niju adds technical proof between the recruiter screen and the final engineering interview.

Step 1
The recruiter screen

Goal: Confirm role fit, logistics, and candidate interest before technical review.

→ Move only engaged candidates into a technical screening step

Step 2
The Niju screen

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

Step 3
Engineering deep dive

Goal: Spend live time on deeper technical discussion, system design, and team fit.

→ Run higher-value interviews with candidates who already showed their work

The Niju difference

Replace live screening calls with reviewable technical proof

Traditional screening

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

The Niju way

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

The problem

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.

The solution

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.

How it works

Get started in 3 simple steps

1

Create a role

Choose the engineering role and seniority, then send a practical technical screening that matches the level you want to assess.

2

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.

3

Get the report

Open the report to review the recording, final code, transcript, and AI summary before deciding who should meet engineering live.

Ready to replace your first-round technical screens?

Start with 3 free async coding sessions and let your team review real candidate work before the live interview stage.

1. Compares a 45-minute first-round technical screen (30 min call + 15 min prep/feedback) to the average 5-minute review of a Niju session 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 live screen vs. the cost of a Niju screening credit ($4.90) + 5 minutes of review time (~$10). This results in a ~6x to 10x cost reduction.3. Based on reducing the scheduling bottleneck around first-round technical screens, which typically adds 8-12 days to the process. Async coding sessions remove this delay entirely.
