Take-home coding task generator for SMB hiring

AI-powered system that generates role-specific, vetted take-home coding assessments and auto-grades submissions for small engineering teams without dedicated recruiting infrastructure.

The problem

Small software companies (10–50 engineers) lack structured hiring workflows and must either pay recruiting agencies a significant commission of first-year salary, use generic coding-challenge platforms that don't reflect their actual tech stack, or manually write and grade bespoke take-home tasks—a substantial effort per hire that creates inconsistency and legal risk.

Who has it: Software engineering leaders and hiring managers at Series A–C SaaS and developer-tool companies with 15–80 engineers, $2M–$30M ARR, and high technical hiring volume (3–10 hires per year).

Why now: Post-2024 talent market has shifted hiring burden onto companies; remote-first and distributed hiring is now standard, making async take-home tasks the bottleneck; LLM-based code generation and grading is now reliable enough to automate task creation and rubric-driven evaluation without hallucination risk.
