Niju

Hi hunters, I’m Radu, the maker of Niju. I’ve been on both sides of the table - a hiring manager trying to scale a team without burning out engineering time, and a candidate stressed out by high-pressure live coding sessions. The process is broken on both ends: - Candidates often fail live interviews due to anxiety, not lack of skill. - Engineering teams waste many hours interviewing candidates who looked good on a CV but can't ship code. - Hiring managers lose great talent because they can't schedule technical screens fast enough. I've built Niju to fix the screening bottleneck. Niju is designed to replace the technical screen call. It fits into your recruitment pipeline between the initial recruiter call and the deeper engineering interviews: - Step 1: Your recruiter / hiring manager confirms interest and culture fit. - Step 2 (Niju): The candidate proves practical skills asynchronously. - Steps 3 and beyond: More in-depth engineering and culture fit interviews. How it works: Candidates record a 20-minute technical walkthrough where they solve a practical, real-world task (no binary tree inversions here). 🎙️ Speak aloud: Niju records screen and audio because I believe that the thought process is one of the key differences between an engineer and a 'coder. 🛠️ Real workflows: Candidates are free to use documentation, StackOverflow, even AI if that's their normal workflow. ⚡ Fast review: Niju processes the screen recording and audio feed and produces a summary of the interview, guiding you through its most important parts. On average, a Niju interview takes 5 minutes to review. The pricing structure is simple - buy interview packs, no subscriptions. Prices range from $4.9 to $2.49 per interview, depending on how many interviews you buy. As it stands, everyone gets their first 3 interviews for free on signup to test Niju out - no credit card required. Let me know what you think! Radu
