Utkrusht | Technical assessments to hire the best developers and engineers

For Software & Custom Development Companies

Screening + Shortlisting still feels like "gambling"

Resumes lie. Recruiters guess. AI tools quiz.

You want to see how candidates actually work in real-job situations - debug code, make tradeoffs, fix APIs, build features, etc. Our platform gives actual on-the-job tasks in a live production environment, and shortlists top10 candidates evaluated on how they executed it

The Problem

3 most common hiring methods used today, but teams still end up guessing and disappointed

ATS/Manual shortlisting

Biased, time-consuming, filters by keywords (not skill), and always context switching

Recruitment agencies

Steep commission % fees. Profiles that promise the world, but candidate's work shows lack of technical depth

AI-based
tools

Leetcode/Hackerrank-style MCQs, quiz questions/coding tests, etc. -- never accurately evaluates technical skills

How it works

Step 1

Create a position. Takes <10 minutes. List your hiring requirements

Select or create a position you're hiring for

Specify details -- skills, years of exp, etc. (or attach a JD and our AI will take care of the rest)

Your Assessment link (to send candidates) is ready to use

Simply share the link to all candidates (across linkedIn, indeed, socials, etc.) to take the assessment

Step 2

Invite candidates. Our platform gives real-world scenarios and on-the-job tasks

Each candidate gets ~30 min real-world coding problems (eg: improve slow APIs, debug broken code, etc.) in a LIVE sandbox environment

We're not an "AI-interview platform", instead we make them do real work like they would on the job, and evaluate how they think, build, debug, solve those problems. No Mcqs, no quizzes

We even track if someone cheats, or other methods of unfair practices, by proctoring the sessions

Usage of AI and recommendation metrics will be calculated and shown to you

Step 3

Review results. See the top 5-10 shortlisted candidates, with demonstrated proof-of-skill

In 48 hours, you get Top10 recommended candidates with proof-of-skill. Plus, detailed analysis and report (even video sessions) of all candidates

Our rigorous research and back-testing (developed by engineers) has proved these 10 candidates are your strongest quality candidates

Candidates aren't tested on theory knowledge or resume claims. Instead, they're assessed on their fundamentals and execution accurately

Spend your valuable time talking to only these high-quality candidates (no more wasting endless time on first-round interviews)

What is a Test?

1 test is a series of 10 QnA real scenario-based, questions asked to candidates.

Unlike Mcq-type quizzes or pointless back-and-forth questions, our questions are open-ended, measuring good judgement, taste, decision-making under constraints, etc.

Tests are more quick scenario-based questions you'd ask on a phone screening call, well-suited for volume filtering by doing quick fundamentals' check.

What is a Task?

1 task is an actual on-the-job task where candidates code, design, and solve a real on-the-job problem, and deploy it in a live production environment.

Tasks are designed to allow you watch candidates how they debug, make tradeoffs, build features, fix APIs, etc.

Tasks are more detailed pair-programming style on-the-job task, well-suited to measure in-depth fundamental skills, use of AI, and problem-solving approach, making them actually build something live in-action.

Actual Tasks

Watch candidates solve on-the-job tasks before you even speak to them.

These tasks are rigorously tested and designed to simulate real challenges that engineers/developers face on their job.

Candidate Rubrics

Insights gathered from resume, candidate responses, public socials, etc.

e.g. Intent to join, location match, salary alignment, culture fit, etc.

Lowest Drop-off Rate

Since our assessments are quick 30mins, candidates LOVE taking it.

Not on weekends or after-office, but 70% of our assessments are taken in middle of the day, during breaks, etc.

So you can be rest assured almost all candidates you send the assessments to, will complete it (and love to take it).

AI-Assisted Assessments

Candidates are allowed to use AI and other tools available to them.

Since our platform video-records the session, we show you exact insights on how they used AI, where, how much, was it helpful or just copy-pasted, etc.

Basically, we show you HOW candidates used AI.

SmartRank

Put a simple query with your specific/niche criteria you might have, to get those calibre candidates too

e.g. "I want to see candidates who have worked for startups previously", "I want to see candidates who have experience in BFSI sector too".

"Utkrusht has been pivotal for us. Their assessment tests help us find the candidates with required technical skills and their detailed analysis improved our time spent on interviewing candidates significantly. We now realise how much time we used to waste on screening"
Jaydeep Roman
VP of Products, Wybrid
"Relying solely on recruiter agencies not only took 2-3 months on average, but we still ended up interviewing candidates who couldn't deliver desired code. With Utkrusht, we shortlisted 3 strong candidates in just a week, and every single one of them could build robust code!"
Harshal Bhakta
Co-founder, Cital
“We’ve hired developers who looked great on paper but collapsed in real projects. Utkrusht's platform changed that. Now we don’t guess, we see how they code and work under real conditions. The quality of our hires has gone way up, and we’re no longer wasting time on interviews that go nowhere.”
Atul
Co-founder & COO, ScaleReal
"Other tools test theory with MCQs and coding puzzles. Utkrusht put candidates in real codebases—debugging APIs, optimizing queries, refactoring production code. I got to watch how they think and work before ever meeting them. From 80 applications, we hired someone who's now leading a core product initiative."
Arun Bhimani
VP of Tech, InTech Solutions
"We evaluated at least 15 other skill assessment tools which are out there. They are good, but they test candidates on algorithm questions and theory knowledge. None showed us how someone would actually perform on our team. With Utkrusht, I watched candidates work through the same debugging and optimization problems my engineers face daily. That's when I knew who to hire."
Husna Kouser
Director of HR, Skills Agency
"We were spending 15 hours a week screening resumes and doing first-round calls. Most candidates couldn't even explain their own projects and things they wrote on their resume.. Utkrusht's 20-minute real-job simulation assessments cut through that. We now just know before interviewing candidates they have shown strong technical skills."
Vedang Manerikar
Founder, Unravel Tech
"My senior developers were spending 20+ hours a week doing code pairing sessions and reviewing take-home assignments. With Utkrusht, All candidates complete the same “build something” assessment, the platform stack ranks them automatically, and I get a clear top 10. So we now only interview candidates who've already shown clear proof-of-skill."
