Woven creates a great candidate experience while saving your team from failed technical interviews so you can hire the best candidates faster.
“It makes sense for us to use Woven versus a fully automated solution where they are completely missing the typical day-to-day challenges that engineers face and do not reflect accurately what an engineer is capable of… The human touch you provide really makes a difference for us. And how the assessments are delivered. We’ve realized that they are accurate.“”
– Nazar Ivonov, CTO, 15Five
When engineering time is at a premium but making the right hire is critical, you’re faced with a tough challenge.
Do you invest hours and hours of your best engineers’ time to perform dozens of technical interviews, score countless take-homes or rely on low signal automated tech assessments?
Luckily those aren’t your only options, you could use Woven to save time and guarantee the best hire!
In less than 5 minutes build and calibrate a technical assessment for the role, senior level and unique skills needed.
Customize for time, type of role, tech stack and more with a few clicks.
Software Engineers do more than just code and your technical assessment should too! Woven goes beyond the typical automated code quiz with real-world scenarios like reviewing a PR, debugging an outage, and handing off work to colleages.
Experienced engineers want to be evaluated on what makes them senior. That’s much more than code. Woven is the only option for senior-level scenarios like:
Code Review
Systems Design
Architecture Debugging
Each candidate submission will be scored by two Woven Certified Engineers. Double-blind scoring to a detailed rubric eliminates bias and guarantees consistent signal for the hiring team.
Our scorers possess backgrounds in computer science, software development, or software engineering. They undergo a rigorous selection process, including a work simulation where candidates score dummy assessments. Approximately 1 in 5 candidates pass this initial bar. The successful candidates then go through a multi-week onboarding process, engaging with training modules and scoring live assessments as a redundant 3rd scorer for certification.
Scorers achieving a sufficiently low error rate (currently 6% or lower for initial certification, reducing to 5% or less in subsequent months) become certified as scorers in production. Day-to-day, scorers receive detailed reports on their mistakes and improvement notes from the QA team. Monthly reviews by Woven management ensure ongoing scorer performance. If error rates exceed our threshold, coaching is provided.
Scorers operate in a double-blind environment, grading specific true/false rubric items within a scenario. Although scores should align, occasional discrepancies occur, necessitating a reconciliation scorer (3rd scorer) to decide the final score. Reconciliation errors are tracked and reported monthly, ensuring transparency. The error rate is approximately 1% due to the independent nature of double-scoring.
Woven has trained experts reviewing every single assessment for signs of external assistance, like ChatGPT.
They watch a live playback of the candidate’s submission, evaluating their behavior and final responses against guidelines our team has defined and tested.
