We are a technical assessment tool powered by Kubernetes that helps evaluate DevOps and Software Engineers' skills during the hiring process by immersing them in virtual environments that simulate the job they applied for.

In 2021, we were looking to expand our DevOps team but yielded no success. Having conducted dozens of interviews with no hire, we were spending lots of time, and our current interview structure didn't allow us to fully gain a picture of candidates’ expertise. We decided that the best way to assess engineers’ skills is by giving them an environment with a pre-configured problem to solve. We found that most current tech assessment tools provide only theoretical and algorithm-based questions when we needed a full, product-like environment. The ones that could charge more than a small startup like us could afford for recruitment only. We decided to develop our own platform that could help engineers like us create engaging, real-world assessments at an affordable-for-a-startup price.

congratulations on the launch, uladimir and raman! as a founder myself, i can relate to the struggles of finding the right candidates for technical roles. your approach of immersing candidates in virtual environments for a more comprehensive evaluation is truly innovative. i'm curious to know how you ensure that the virtual environments in hdo accurately reflect real-world scenarios faced by devops and software engineers. can candidates customize the environments to showcase their unique skills and problem-solving approaches? best of luck with the launch and looking forward to seeing the impact of hdo in transforming the hiring process for tech roles!
