How to recruit and hire the right software engineers
Increase access to professional technical interviews. Karat clients invite more software engineering candidates to interview. This supports diversity and speeds up hiring. Interview questions are designed to accurately assess the competencies most relevant to each role.
Use interview rubrics. Karat technical interviews are scored using interview rubrics aligned to each role. This improves onsite-to-offer ratios and saves team time. Consider developing interview rubrics for final interview loop, too.
Train interviewers. Software engineers who interview candidates will benefit from training on in-interview communication and how to use interview rubrics.
Be available. Karat is available 24/7 to support candidates and technical recruiters. The result is a consistent and professional candidate experience.
Make data-driven hiring decisions. Karat partners with your team to create a reliable and measurable hiring process that will give you visibility into what’s working and what’s not.
Workshops for engineering and talent acquisition
The best practices that shape Karat’s technical interviews can be applied throughout the hiring process for greater consistency and better candidate experiences.
Enterprise clients take advantage of workshops for technical recruiting and software engineering teams on a quarterly basis.
How to interview and hire developer talent in a remote world
These days, interviewing is done 100% remotely. Candidates and interviewers need new tools and knowledge to succeed. This workshop highlights best practices for conducting remote technical assessments, including:
Proper A/V setup for interviewers and candidates
Aligning questions to competencies
Developing structured scoring rubrics
Live technical interviews
Hiring the right technical talent starts with a live technical interview. Karat fits at the top of the hiring funnel and helps companies meet hiring goals even in the most competitive markets. Unlike a code test, Karat technical interviews are conducted as a 60-minute technical assessment with an Interview Engineer.
Before interviews begin, Karat works with your engineering team to select the right questions and interview formats for the role. They also work together to identify your company’s hiring bar and the key competencies for success on the job.
“Karat has allowed us to free up thousands of hours in engineering time that was used in technical phone screens while still matching our hiring bar.”

Interview Engineers: Experts in technical interviewing
Interview Engineers are experienced developers who have made interviewing their job. They are equipped with interview questions, interviewing best practices, IDE, and scoring rubrics specific for each role and its seniority.
Interview Engineers must complete and pass a structured onboarding program to begin interviewing. They receive ongoing mentorship to qualify to conduct interviews with new questions and to keep their soft skills sharp.
Interview Engineer onboarding program
Interview Engineers are part of a select group that has a minimum of three years developer experience and have completed our formal onboarding program.
New Interview Engineers are supported by a mentor. They learn the Karat code of conduct, interview delivery guidelines, and their first interview question.
