Hey Product Hunt, maker here. A while back I was interviewing for engineering roles, and round after round turned into "invert this binary tree." In 8 years as an engineer I have never had to do that at work. None of it showed whether I could actually do the job. So I built SkillFoundry, partly out of spite. Instead of puzzles, candidates get a real task in a real open-source codebase, in the browser or in their own VS Code. While they work, SkillFoundry captures how they work: how they explore unfamiliar code, what they ask (there's an AI customer and TPM to clarify requirements with), how they test, and how they handle risk. The hiring team gets a report where every score is backed by timestamped evidence. Two things I cared about: - Tasks are already-solved open-source issues, so no candidate does free work for an employer. - Everyone gets a fair shot, whether or not they've memorized algorithms. For the PH community the first 25 companies get the Team plan free for 90 days. No card required to signup. Really just need some real feedback :) I'd love honest feedback, especially from anyone who hires engineers. And I'm curious: what's the most useless interview question you've ever been asked?
