Our Bench

For Interviewing as a Service and larger engagements, we work with a carefully curated bench of senior engineers, all trained in Palantir-style interviewing:

  • Ex-Palantir FDEs with 5+ years of technical interviewing experience
  • Ex-Google/Amazon engineers with hiring manager experience
  • Domain specialists for specific technical areas

All bench members are calibrated to our standards and provide structured, detailed candidate assessments.
