5 minutes. Same engine your applicants use. Get scored at the end — see for yourself how rigorous it is.
Nothing is saved or sent anywhere. This is for you to feel the experience your applicants will get.
Toptal, Andela, Turing — they all sell the same pitch: trust us, they passed our test. The problem: their test is generic. It can't tell you whether this specific contractor is good at the specific work you need done.
"Passed our English test" doesn't tell you if they can handle a Texas property manager pushing back on price during a roofing cold call. Different job, different skill, no signal.
So you read 60 LinkedIns, schedule 8 interviews, do 6 of them, hire 1. That's a week of your time and you still don't know how the hire handles your real objections until they're on payroll.
Toptal's 3-5x markup pays for their static vetting. You pay for it whether the vetting was useful or not.
Generic tests punish real talent who don't happen to perform well on artificial English exams. The contractors who would crush YOUR role get filtered out by tests that aren't about your role.
From posting the role to picking your candidate. Yes, really.
Title, description, top objections you'd expect a candidate to face. We generate the AI persona, customer context, scoring rubric, and opening line from your description — automatically.
Every applicant runs through your campaign's AI roleplay before their application reaches you. 5-7 minutes per attempt; 3 attempts max. Audio + transcript + LLM-scored.
Open the comparison page. Ranked by best score. Hit ▶ on the top 10 to hear how they handled YOUR objections. Expand summary on the 5 standouts. Schedule 2 interviews.
The LLM scorer is calibrated against an anti-grade-inflation prompt. 90+ = exceptional. 75-89 = definitely interview. 60-74 = mixed. Below 45 = significant problems. The summary is written FOR YOU — what handled, what missed, red flags, standout strengths.
Rubric weights generated automatically from your campaign. You can edit them later.
Where role-specific evidence-based screening sits in the LATAM / nearshore talent landscape.
Capabilities reflect publicly documented platform features as of 2026-06-03. If you're evaluating, talk to all of us — the differences become obvious in 20 minutes.
We don't charge a screening fee. The roleplay is what makes our flat placement fee worth it — your hires actually pan out, so you stay, so we get paid more times. Aligned incentives.
Hourly rate + flat 15% platform fee on every contractor invoice. That's it. The roleplay screen, the comparison page, the LLM scoring, the audio storage — bundled.
One-time placement bonus on first invoice ($200-$800 by tier) covers our marketplace + payroll work. We invest that into making the screen better.
See full pricing →The AI persona is generated fresh per campaign and varies its objections per attempt — there's no fixed script to cheat from. And cheating doesn't help in the rubric where it matters: the scorer weights tone, listening, adaptation, and natural objection handling. A canned-script reading scores like a robot.
Three attempts, all visible to you, scores retained. The improvement curve is itself a signal — going 62 → 71 → 79 is coachability data you can't get any other way. A candidate who's consistently 78 across three attempts is probably a better hire than one who lucks into a 92 once.
Yes. The scenario is auto-generated from your campaign description but you can edit any field — persona description, customer context, top objections, opening line, rubric weights. Regenerate with one click if your role pivots.
Calibrated against an anti-grade-inflation prompt. We've tested it on roleplays our AM team also scored manually; agreement is in the high 80s%. We surface the LLM's reasoning so you can spot-check — every score links to a transcript moment that justified it.
Yes — and this is where we genuinely beat Toptal. The AI persona auto-detects that a CSR role is bilingual and surfaces Spanish during the roleplay (a Mexican customer would naturally code-switch). Browser TTS + STT support both languages. Whisper STT upgrade (Phase 3) makes accent handling even better.
AI roleplay is a skills evaluation, not an AI-mediated hiring decision. The hiring decision is still yours, and you have full transcript + audio to substantiate it. We don't use AI to make automatic accept/reject decisions on candidates — only to auto-shortlist when you opt in (defaults to off if you want full manual review).
