FAQ: Evidence-Based Engineering Hiring

Question 1

What is Mindfries?

Accepted Answer

Mindfries is hiring intelligence for engineering roles. It reads the work candidates have actually done, matches it to what your role needs, assesses top candidates on live code with an AI interviewer, and hands you a ranked, explainable shortlist.

Question 2

How is it different from an ATS?

Accepted Answer

An ATS tracks applicants and filters them on keywords. Mindfries isn't another ATS: it evaluates evidence of real engineering skill, so strong engineers don't get lost to keyword filters or polished CVs.

Question 3

What does Mindfries look at?

Accepted Answer

Real work: GitHub and GitLab repositories, pull requests and reviews, portfolios and project links, then the results of a live, role-specific assessment. Every score shows the evidence behind it.

Question 4

Does Mindfries reject candidates automatically?

Accepted Answer

No. Mindfries recommends and your team decides. Every candidate comes with a plain-English reason for their rank and the gaps we saw, and a human always makes the final call.

Question 5

What does the assessment involve?

Accepted Answer

Strong matches work on a real task in a live coding workspace, then talk it through with an AI interviewer. It covers coding, system design and reasoning: real problems, not memorised puzzles.

Question 6

What if a candidate doesn't have much public code?

Accepted Answer

Public work is a starting signal, not a requirement. The live assessment gives every candidate the same chance to show how they actually build.

Question 7

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing will be revealed soon. There will be three plans (Starter for small teams, Growth for scaling teams and Enterprise for high-volume hiring), and early-access members see the prices first.

Question 8

Can we become a design partner?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We're building Mindfries with engineering teams who are hiring now. Book a short call and we'll walk through what partnering looks like.
