AI can screen CVs. It can't run deep L6–L8 interviews or judge attitude and culture fit. Yoong is the human layer that tells you who is genuinely good enough.
Interviewers are practising senior engineers, not recruiters with a script. Every candidate maps to one standardized scale — comparable across roles and teams.
Access genuinely senior engineers at a fraction of EU market rates — priced by verified level, so you pay for the seniority you actually get.
A qualified shortlist in two weeks. You meet candidates who've already cleared the bar — no long list to filter, speed promised only when an engineer is truly ready.
It's a trustworthy, fast way to know who's truly good enough — before you spend an offer and three months of onboarding finding out.
Open senior seats become an interview-bandwidth bottleneck — slipping roadmaps and overloaded staff engineers.
of employers struggle to hire to their technical bar — the right level is the hard part, not the headcount.
flood the funnel — volume up, trustworthy signal down. Polished applications no longer prove capability.
From a dedicated long-term engineer to a one-off vetting pass — three services, one human-vetting engine behind all of them.
Unlike a test platform: real senior engineers score every candidate on a role rubric. Paid per stage, regardless of hire outcome.
Unlike traditional headhunters: every shortlist is interview-proven by senior engineers, not CV keyword-matched.
Calibrated to industry-standard leveling (Axon / Uber-style). Each engineer is scored on 7–13 competency axes per role — scope, autonomy, technical depth, leadership, impact. L8 ≈ top 30% of an engineering org.
A three-year engagement running senior hiring and vetting for Axon, a US public-safety technology company. The numbers below are how the scale was tuned — not a tally of people placed.
